Nike crowns LeBron James a "two-time champion", even though he's not, yet.

There is a lot of anticipation for tonight's crucial game 6 match-up in Miami, but Nike apparently already knows the outcome of the series. 

Check out the original article I posted this morning on Philly.com, and check out some pictures of the shoes after the jump.

"Either Nike knows something that we don’t, or they are bound to anger some Spurs fans with a recent release.

A recent mockup of Nike’s popular LeBron X model boasts a nice floral theme, along with an interesting message inscribed in the heel inserts.

The right insert states simply “2-time champion,” while the left insert reads “11-12 12-13.”

Now there is nothing wrong with Nike commemorating milestones as they do it all the time, but there seems to be one small issue here; last time I checked LeBron James was a one-time champion.

“11-12 13-13” is clearly representative of the supposed championship seasons, and while James was able to claim the 11-12 title, a little something is standing in the way of the 12-13 one; the San Antonio Spurs. 

Down 3-2 heading into Tuesday night’s crucial game 6, James and his Heat need to win two straight games in order to back up Nike’s audacious sole claim. 

If the Heat can overcome the odds, than the shoe will be viewed just as an early testament to the title, but if they fall short, both Nike, and LeBron will have some explaining to do this summer. "
