It’s not a secret that the Miami Heat are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, but they’re not alone in being atop the conference. The Indiana Pacers are in action tonight and are also up there with the Heat in the East as the best team. Miami may be a two time defending champion basketball team, but they’re a prideful bunch that don’t like to be associated evenly with teams they’ve beaten.

Miami beat the Pacers earlier this week, but LeBron James and the crew are still bitter over being compared to a team that didn’t make it to the NBA Finals last year, and the Sacramento Kings are feeling the force of that Miami rage.

LeBron James used a fast break steal against the Kings to throw down a nasty slam dunk, reminding us that King James truly does reign over his kingdom of basketball.

You can compare the Heat to the Pacers all you want, but LeBron James is still in a universe that’s all his own, even if he has someone draped all over him on his way to the basket.
