Why is he scoring at will?Because the refs have opened the free-throw lane so he can get all those lay-ups and slam-dunks.If he had to score from 10ft out,he would be lucky to score 15points a game.Out of every hail mary from 15ft or more he makes 1 out of 10.What makes him great,THE MEDIA,who have to make a living bragging on this wannabe showboat.
