They don’t call him
the king for nothing. LeBron James has been on fire, pushing his already
outstanding athleticism to new heights. Over the last five games he’s managed
to average 31 points. His coach said he’s “making greatness look easy,” I say
he’s doing magic. He’s playing near perfect games.
Last night’s ten
point win against the Los Angels Lakers is a prime example. I felt like I was
tuned in to the LeBron show. James set a franchise record for five consecutive 30-point
games. Not only is he racking up the points, but he’s shot an impeccable 74.2
percent over the last five games all while managing 6.9 assists per game.
Yesterday’s game
was tight during the first half but something must have happened in the Heat
locker room during half time. There was a serious momentum shift during the
second half. James scored Miami’s last 11 points within the last four minutes
of the third quarter. His partner in crime Dwyane Wade turned up in the fourth
quarter and from there on it seemed to be the LeBron Show featuring D-Wade. At
least Dwyane’s cool with letting the big man lead. He unselfishly told the
Miami Sun Sentinel that he’s not looking for headlines and he leaves all that
to LeBron.
Six of the last
seven games against the Lakers have been big wins for the Miami Heat. The Heat
will take on the Portland Trailblazers tomorrow night at 6:30. My DVR is set
and ready for yet another record-breaking game for LeBron James.
