In an effort to get past the dreaded Big 3 of the Boston Celtics, LeBron James formed a Big 3 of his own in Miami. In Game 5 of the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals, James finally achieved this goal.
As seen in the video below, James scores the last 10 points to finally close the door shut on the Celtics. At that point, the Heat were up 3-1 in the series. And James' late-game heroics sealed the deal.
As observed in the video, James showcased a look of relief and determination. James finally outlasted the Celtics and their Big 3.
James and the Heat went on to the Eastern Conference Finals where they met the Chicago Bulls. They would beat them in five games and proceed to the NBA Finals. However, the Dallas Mavericks would claim the championship in six games.
Nevertheless, it was a historic moment for James' career. Prior to the assembly of the Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce, it seemed that the Eastern Conference belonged to James.
The year prior to their team up, James led the Cavaliers to an NBA Finals appearance. They were swept by the San Antonio Spurs but the NBA took notice that the hype surrounding James was all for real.
