LeBron Shut Everybody Up - for 48 Hours, Anyway - With 45 Points and 15 Rebounds, and Here's Video of All of It

LeBron can’t win. His unbelievable 45-point, 15-rebound effort against Boston in an elimination game on the road?
Yeah, but he still has to win game seven, or it doesn’t matter!
Only a fool would think the Celtics are winning Game 7 in Miami Saturday night.
So he beat the old Celtics in 7 games, so what! He has to win a ring!
I’d give the Thunder the edge in the Finals, but let’s say Miami wins in six or seven.
So what. LeBron said he’d win not one, not two, not three …

A meaningless, never-ending cycle of hate for LeBron, who I’d say – this isn’t knee-jerk or hyperbole, either – is already one of the 25 best players in NBA history. In the NBA right now, how many players can dominate a must-win game like LeBron, and carry that weak supporting cast (Wade was 6-of-17, Bosh was moderately effective in 28 minutes) to victory?

[The real question here: Which of these performances was more incredible –
Down 2-1 in Game 4 in Indiana – 14-of-27, 40 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assists in 43 minutes
Down 3-2 in Game 6 in Boston – 19-of-26, 45 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists in 44 minutes]

For a day, we can all forget about blowing up the Miami Heat.

I’ll hang up now and wait for everyone to slaughter Paul Pierce, Doc Rivers and the choking Celtics.
