Honestly, how ridiculous was Michael Jordan Lebron James’ performance last night in the Cavs double-overtime victory against the Detroit Pistons? Sorry, rhetorical question. 48 points, including the last 25 of the game for Cleveland, clutch shot after clutch shot, and a ridiculously ripe pimple on his chin in the post game interview with Craig Sager.
For about a decade now we’ve recycled one ‘next Jordan’ after another, and to no avail. Well, guess what? Lebron isn’t the next Jordan either. Instead, he is the original King James. Where are the naysayers now? This kid does things on the basketball court that no one else can do. He is a hybrid of Michael and Magic, with a certain moxy all his own. He is exciting, unselfish and relentless with a basketball in his hand. Oh yeah, and is he ever gonna look great in a New York Knicks uniform in about two years.
Now I understand that Cleveland was in the exact same situation last season against the Pistons, but I have a funny feeling that the extra year of experience will make all the difference this year. If anything last season’s loss at home in game six should have them ready for the game Saturday night. The moral of the story is that anytime I am writing about the NBA playoffs, something earth shattering must be going on. Well, Lebron seems to have the basketball world in the palm of his hands, and that’s what’s shakin…

I think you’ve summed it up perfectly: ‘A Hybrid of Micheal and Magic’. People have commenting on him having a low amount of passion but I think he’s blown that idea out of the water now.

Yikes. Someone get P. Diddy and his Proactiv in there to help LeBron manage his situation and preserve his sexy by zapping those zits.
(It may be an ingrown facial hair — curly hair does that a lot.)
Sadly, he will not end up a Knick. He will be a Brooklyn Net, playing for his business mentor, Jay-Z….
He definitely seems to have found his passion. I’ve always thought it was a bit ironic that people dogged him for “relaxing” when NBA players are notorious for waiting ’til the right moment to get going. If you bust ass every play all night, you might not have anything left by 2OT.
Lupica…you might be right…
Hi Jim. Photos i received. Thanks
You’re right LeBron is the hybrid of MJ and Magic combined. He is well talented when it comes in making points like MJ. He is also good in handling the ball, making great pass, like Magic. He is a small forward but can play either guard or forward.
