Okay\u00e2\u20ac\u201dLeBron James was the man in the end, hitting a three and then a two. He scored the last 25 points for the Cavs and 29 of the final 30 Cavs’ points\u00e2\u20ac\u201d48 in total! 48 in 51 minutes.James matured tonight to become the ultimate Superstar. Bird, Magic, Abdul-Jabar, Russell, Jordan, Chamberlain, Shaq\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s where he is now. Why? Well, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in the Eastern Conference Finals, in double overtime, on the home court of Detroit in a series that is tied at 2 and 2.<\/p>\n
Momentum\u00e2\u20ac\u201dCleveland. And rock on!<\/p>\n
For Detroit\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe cry has to be Billups\u00e2\u20ac\u201dstep up! Wallace\u00e2\u20ac\u201dstep up! Richard Hamilton\u00e2\u20ac\u201dstep up!<\/p>\n
Barkley noted tonight on TNT, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153this was one of the most impressive single performances I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ever seen.\u00e2\u20ac? Quite a compliment from Sir Charles.<\/p>\n
Honestly, I never thought that a one-man team could do what James did tonight against the Pistons. But he was and he made it happen. James led in points (48), rebounds (9), assists (7) and steals (2). Wow! I mean\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwow!<\/p>\n
Bird, Magic, Abdul-Jabar, Russell, Jordan, Chamberlain, Shaq\u00e2\u20ac\u201dhas any done this in a big time playoff game? Maybe, but I cannot remember that happening.<\/p>\n
The question is\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwhy can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Detroit take the ball out of this guy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hands? What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s up here? Huh?<\/p>\n
Gut check for Detroit.<\/p>\n
James\u00e2\u20ac\u201dcan the magic continue?<\/p>\n
Spurs\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwho are you going to play?<\/p>\n
