An Honest Tweet

LeBron's new twitter post says it all: "It is now or never".
After experiencing a post season career low eight points in game four of the NBA Finals, James has to play the game of his life in game five against the Dallas Mavericks tonight to bounce back.
The question from most analysts is can he do it? Can LeBron James prove that he will one day be in the same class as MJ, or that this Miami expedition is a true success?
Of course he can and the road back starts with game five .
Since his arrival into the NBA at the age of 18, James has been a success. Not only is he a two-time MVP, but if LeBron retired today, he would be a shoe-in for the hall of fame.However, he lacks the one award everyone in the NBA cares about most; an NBA Finals ring.
With a typical James like performance tonight, he would be just one game away from what he desires most.
We have all seen James be heroic in the playoffs (Game five in '05 where he scored 48 against the Pistons, and of course his famous buzzer beater in game two in '09 against the Magic), but to prove all his haters wrong, LeBron has to be even more heroic in tonight's game than any other he has been apart of.
It kills me to see James play bad, let alone horrific like in game four, but it is moments like these where the best comes out of an athlete. After being bashed on by national media for two days now, what else can a player do besides play his or her heart out have the game of his or her life?
Not only do I hope that happens tonight, but more importantly I kind of expect it from James.
He knows what tonight's game means. A 3-2 lead in the series going back to Miami, but also some redemption for himself. James needs a great game to get out of this hump he has had in the finals, and it all starts tonight.
Like King James said himself, "It is now or never".
