TEAMS: Miami Heat, Portland Trail Blazers
LeBron James becomes is playing otherworldly basketball. King James scored 30 points and shoot 60 percent in six consecutive games.
In Tuesday's shootout win over the Portland Trail Blazers, James scored 30 points (11-of-15 shooting and 7-of-8 from the line) with a three, six rebounds, nine assists, three steals and two blocks in 39 minutes. It's just not fair. And poor Sasha Pavlovic gets abused in this highlight video.
James didn't even lead his team in scoring. Chris Bosh did with 32 points (13-of-16 field goals and 6-of-6 free throws) with 11 rebounds and two steals.
Dwyane Wade's line seems almost pedestrian in comparison to James: 24 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, a steal and two blocks.

LeBron James owes his fans one shot at the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. All of the all-time greats have participated in this contest. James even told TNT analyst Cheryl Miller in 2009 he would enter the contest, only to back out months later.
Is James simply afraid? I believe he is. James feels he has everything to lose and nothing to gain. The last time James...
Lebron James Says Don’t Compare Him to Michael Jordan
To even be in the Michael Jordan discussion you need at least three rings. Until then there is really nothing to talk about. Lebron is having a great stretch of games and he is totally locked into Optimus Bron mode, but none of that matters.
Bron’s legacy will depend on how much jewelry he has when it is all said and done.
From a practice sense, they aren’t the same type of player...

LeBron James makes NBA history, can he live?
LeBron James is having a history making season. He’s accomplishing things that we’ve never seen before as basketball fans. For an NBA record six games, LeBron has scored 30 or more on 60% shooting.

Stan Van Gundy: “Lebron James is Already Better Than Michael Jordan”
I know what Stan Van Gundy was trying to say when he made this quote on the Dan Le Batard Show. It is very simple, he is simply saying at this point in his career, Lebron is a more skilled player than Michael Jordan.
That part of it is based in some truth, mainly because I don’t think we have ever seen anyone as skilled and physically gifted as Lebron. He is some crazy hybrid...
'King' of the 'Alamo City'
A team’s success is based on the system, and how well the pieces fit together, as they are on the level of talent. As the Lakers have shown on two separate occasions, simply getting a group of future Hall of Fame players does not necessarily ensure success (see 2003 – 2004 season and the current rosters).
As Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili’s time in a San Antonio Spurs...
