After a game like last night's, there really is nothing else worthy of writing about. After scoring his team's last 25 points and 29 of their last 30, Lebron James has risen his game to the level that so many expected from him all along. His critics say that he cannot rise up during the fourth quarter especially during the playoffs. Critics...speak no longer (especially you Skip Baylis).
The King is here to stay. Lebron dominated all phases of the game and persevered through many obstacles; most notably the refs, his lack of offensive support, and one hell of a Piston team. I really do not see how a lineup with Daniel Gibson, Ilgauskus, Drew Gooden, and Poplovich can even compete with Billups, Hamilton, C Webb, Prince, and Rasheed Wallace. Is there anyway this should be possible? Oh wait, I forgot about King James. Anything is possible with a King on your side.
Imagine if Lebron had another all star on his team. That would be just scary. Afterall Jordan did have another top 50 NBA player on his team in Pippen and a pretty solid supporting cast including Steve Kerr, BJ Armstrong, Horace Grant, John Paxon, and Stacey King among others. Even though none of those Bulls teams had a great center, Bill Weddington, Luke Longley and Bill Cartwright were not terrible.
All I know is that Lebron is only 21 and eventually he will have an all star supporting cast. Can you say dynasty?
