LeBron Takes Over

For all of the criticism LeBron James has taken for not being a clutch player, he didn't look too shabby Thursday evening, did he? How old is he again? 20? -- Awfully young to already be tagged with this label. Michael Jordan had played for several years before he made it to the NBA Championship. He ended up being pretty good :-). LeBron only scored 29 of the 30 of his teams points, completely taking over the game in overtime to propel his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, to the win. Tonight the Cavaliers have an opportunity to make it to the finals for the first time and we'll see if LeBron will step up again. I think that certain sportswriters and sportscasters may be best friends for people like LeBron. Their constant criticism of him as a "choker" has just served as motivation for him (see also Phil Mickelson, Payton Manning :-). I, for one, hope that LeBron and the Cavs make it to the finals.
