By scoring 30 points on 11-15 from the floor in a 117-104 victory over the Blazers, LeBron James established a new standard for individual efficiency in NBA basketball. As you’ve probably heard, this was LeBron’s sixth consecutive game of 30+ points on 60+ percent from the floor. Never before — not in the entire 67-year history of the National Basketball Association — has anyone been able to sustain such a scoring streak. Not Michael, not Wilt, not Shaquille, not Kobe (let that sink in for a moment). Never in my lifetime have I seen anyone play this sport at the level that LeBron James is playing it at this very moment. That’s the only way I can put into words what he is doing. Below are his highlights from Tuesday’s game as well as links to his complete highlights from the other five games composing the historic streak.
32/7/4 (12-18, 67%) vs Lakers
30/5/6 (9-11, 82%) vs Clippers
32/6/5 (11-18, 61%) vs Rockets
31/8/8 (13-14, 93%) vs Bobcats
30/8/7 (10-16, 63%) vs Toronto

5 Reasons Why LeBron James Could Be, Or Already Is, Better Than Michael Jordan

Former Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy made a very bold statement on the Dan Le Batard Show Wednesday, saying that LeBron James is already better than Michael Jordan.
Ever since James won his first title this past summer, the arguments of LeBron possibly being the GOAT have been continuing to rage on. This past week has shown a lot of...
2013 NBA All-Star Weekend: LeBron James Should Be In the Dunk Contest

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...

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...

ESPN has released their latest promo video for This Is SportsCenter staring Houston Rockets guard Jeremy Lin. If you didn’t know this interesting fact, you must have been sleeping under a rock during last year Linsanity season; Jeremy Lin is a Harvard grad.

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. There was a four game stretch during this same time frame that LeBron was at 75% shooting. Let that marinate for a second.

February 14, 2013
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...

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).
