LeBron James ended his social media blackout by throwing a knockout punch at his critics.

One day after ending Cleveland's 52-year pro sports championship drought, James, who refrains from Twitter and other message platforms during the post-season, posted a rant on Instagram aimed at those who have doubted him.

He also took a swipe at the Golden State Warriors, who became the first team to blow a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, by wearing a blue and yellow T-shirt with "Ultimate Warrior" written on the front when the Cavs returned to Cleveland on Monday to a raucous celebration at Cleveland's Hopkins Airport.

On his Instagram posting, which included him wearing a hat with Kermit the Frog sipping tea — an internet meme used to denote sarcasm and is paired with the saying, "That's none of my business" — James unleashed a rant as vicious as one of his dunks.
