NBA Playoffs: Conference Finals

Eastern Conference Finals Game 2
LeBron James

"Hey I have an idea, I think LeBron can take his man if we set him up."
(what should have been said in the last time out of Hoosiers
or
something actually whispered by Drew Gooden to Mike Brown upon fouling out)

LeBron James is the best basketball player I have ever seen. I grew up with Micheal Jordan on my television. I was in the building when the first 23 went for 42 at age 40. MJ never did anything like this.

His airness never exploded and "dunk[ed] like its the 8th game of the season in Memphis" late in game 5 of a physically grueling playoff series, repeatedly. (mike terico espn radio)

He answered everything a championship team threw at him. When it mattered the most, the height of drama in this season's Eastern Conference, LeBron did things that have never been done and with a powerful calm previously unseen from a 22 year old in sports. Its a landmark night in sports not just the NBA and its generation.

Mad critics too, he's 22 he is 22 and people were already writing him off. But, wait he may better than the hype, and my hype was exceedingly extraordinary. That same alliteration best describes the last 20 minutes of basketball played by James versus the Pistons.

I know James has yet to win a championship; yet, but he will. I want to be on record now as saying he is the best basketball player I have ever seen. Yeah, also, in the first half he leaped over the afro-locks of Anderson Viajao in order to come to the big Brazilians defense and draw a technical foul. The best player on the floor, was saving his team all night, even in the post game press conference.

And somehow its like it snuck up on us. So many writers' paid to opine sentiments should be fired today. People that said he wasn't clutch, feared the big moment, and (Here in New York those guys are identified easily today by there morning columns on how and why the Knicks should trade for former child actor Kobe Bryant.) Myself, included we were all talking about the quality of basketball in a Pistons/Spurs series, but the future became the breathing air and some of my generation are going to be older in the morning than they were when they went to bed.

The game has changed, and next is now. (It doesn't matter if they lose this series)

Seriously, Kobe on the Cavs and not LeBron, That team is no better than 3rd in the Central this season.
Ohyesitis!!
