The Chosen One

Yes, Eric, my heavily biased blog posts will continue. And this one is also about how LeBron James is the man. I understand that he was playing the Knicks, but he was 42% of the Cavaliers offense tonight. He scored 50 points (52 points if you are CBS Sportsline), had 10 assists, 8 rebounds, and 4 steals. 16 of those points came in the 4th quarter. LeBron shot 53.3% tonight, including a 38 foot jumpshot for 3 to end the first half. It wasn't a hopeful heave. It was a jumpshot. The Knicks were up 7 with time winding down in the 3rd quarter. While the Cavs lead by 1 going into the 4th, LeBron made the difference in the closing minutes. He dodged, he dished, he dunked. LeBron was a shooter tonight.

He is an unstoppable force. He kills opponents' momentum. He is the MVP.

I'm a witness.



UPDATE: Tonight was only the third time in the past 20 years that a player has put up 50 points and 10 assists. My guess is that he will take Tedy Bruschi's title as American of the Century.

He still put the ball in the basket. You still have to make the shots that you take, regardless of who you're playing.
