Keep ya head up LeBron

LeBron James makes it no secret that he wants to be known as one of the greatest basketball players ever. In order to do that, LeBron must win championships. So I can understand his frustration when he saw his best chance to win a title go up in flames in Orlando last Saturday night. Message to LeBron....keep ya head up. Some of the greatest athletes of their era had to endure humiliation and adversity before becoming champions and legends. Michael Jordan endured gut wrenching losses to the Bad Boy version of the Detroit Pistons. With all of his greatness, we saw Jordan walk off the floor in defeat and his chances of a title go up in flames multiple times. As we all know, Jordon eventually overcame adversity to become arguably the greatest player and champion of all time. Before John Elway won back to back Super Bowls and rode off into the sunset, he faced his own adversity. We remember Elway having great seasons only to get humiliated time after time in one lop sided Super Bowl loss after another. And let's not forget Kobe's infamous air balls in their playoff loss to Utah early in his career. Bryant went on to win 3 in a row. So LeBron, keep ya head up. Adversity means that you're on your way to becoming a great champion. Stick with it, history has a way of repeating itself.
