King James

Not this guy:



This one:




The King James era officially started on May 31st. That was the day LeBron James shredding a good defensive team for 48 points, including 29 of his team's last 30 and the game winner, in crucial game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. This marked his ascension from superstar (an grossly overused term btw) to best player in the league and heir to Jordan.

No, I don't expect Cleveland to beat San Antonio. The NBA has shown once again though that it is a league very dependent upon star players (only a hot goalie in hockey and soccer where one play might produce all the game's scoring can compare). LeBron James was the best player in the Cleveland-Detroit series, but how many player from the series would you pick before taking another Cleveland one? 4?

yeah, i saw the last 23 seconds of regulation and the two overtimes. Unbelievable! They were double guarding him and he still was unstoppable.

It'll be interesting to see if he'll get the calls Wade did in last years' final.
