LeBron James is in his 14th NBA season and he has already solidified himself as an all-time great in NBA history with tremendous seasons and memorable moments. There are so many moments to pick from James’ career as his career defining moment.

His former teammate and best friend, Dwyane Wade, said that James’ comeback to win the NBA Finals and bring a title to Cleveland was his defining moment. “In the Finals, not having home court advantage… it was special,” Wade said. “I think that moment right there really put him where he probably wanted to be, where everybody thought he was going to be one day when he was deemed the Chosen One.”

Wade’s comments spark up the question, what’s James’ career defining moment?

Was it in Game 5 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals? James dropped 48 points with 25 of them being the final 29 points for the Cavaliers in what Steve Kerr who was commentating the game, called it a, “Jordan Esque,” performance.

Was it Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals? James was on the brink of elimination again, and was being heavily criticized for not being able to win a championship. He went into Boston, scored 45 points, grabbed 15 rebounds to win game 6 and went on to win game 7 for the Miami Heat on his way to his first championship.

How about Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals when James scored 37 points and winning back to back titles in Miami?

Or is Wade right and James’ performance in his 3-1 comeback on the 73-9 Golden State Warriors to bring the first professional championship to Cleveland in over 50 years was his defining moment?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
