As one of the most competitive NBA Finals in years heads into a pivotal Game 6, an intriguing photo has been making some buzz in the internet as it casts a cloud of doubt on the legitimacy of the championship series between the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat.

A photo posted on Instagram by Fshoa showed a championship edition of LeBron James' latest kicks: the LeBron X. Released way back in September of 2012, the LeBron X was supposed to be Nike's tribute to James after winning his first ever NBA championship at the expense of the Oklahoma City Thunder last year.

Apparently, the photo circulating right now in the web showed a green, low-cut version of the sneaker. It's quite rare to see low-cut LeBron sneakers nowadays, however, the most curious thing you can find in the shoe is not found on it, but actually in it.

The shoe has a secret code that would surely send one's brows upward. By looking inside the shoe, it showed a perfectly inscribed two-word phrase "2-time Champion," while the other actually indicated the season where LeBron won the championship.

Wait a minute.

LeBron won just one ring so far, and obviously, the Heat is fighting for their dear lives in tonight's ballgame on their home floor. So far, the series has been a wild back-and-forth battle, but that doesn't mean the Heat is assured of a victory tonight.

It might be a factory defect or the shoe is the closest thing to a crystal ball, but this one surely sparked debates all over the World Wide Web. What's your take? Is it destiny or a plotted dynasty?
