Trainer Z Commentary: First off and for the record; let me state that my commentary and my opinions are from a non-fan perspective as I am not nor will I ever be an actual fan of anyone other than friends, family, Jesus, and God almighty.

LeBron James to his credit, is without a doubt an MVP; a ‘Most Victorious Person’. I make this statement based on the fact that no superstar player on a professional sports team has ever had to contend with the magnitude of both physical and psychological adversity that LeBron James has had to contend with above and beyond him contending for an NBA championship.

Whether it be from the immature behavior antics of family members, the misguided, misinformed, misrepresentation of friends, the radical fanatical actions of unhappy fans, the verbal and written disregard and disrespect from former basketball players, the unsportsmanlike physical abuse from opposing basketball players, the very obvious lack of protective enforcer support from fellow teammates, and the noticeable lack of star treatment and benefit calls that are usually granted to superstar basketball players by the referees of the sport have all added to the gamut of conscious and subconscious adversity against Lebron that he has had to physically and psychologically endure through and contend against during his basketball career; it is adversity and negativity that is well beyond the norm that any professional athletic superstar has had to contend with; and yet despite all the adversity and the negativity; Lebron has chosen within himself to play through and display incredible positivity.

So the emotion and the tears that were displayed by Lebron are not just the emotions and tears of having won a 3rd NBA Championship; the emotions and the tears displayed by Lebron were more so the emotions and tears of both a player and a person who knows all too well that the Golden State Warriors were not the only opponent that he had to go up against to tame and claim a spiritual victory over.

Lebron James an MVP; the ‘Most Valuable Player’ or a ‘Most Victorious Person’; no need to choose as they both apply.
