didn't know this was on, but it was on last night I believe from 9-11, I just turned it on towards the end of the 4th quarter. Anyone remember this game? I was supposed to be at it, as I always go to the home game before my birthday with my dad (my b-day is the 23rd..I was to turn 19 then ) Lebron looked so young then! He couldn't get the buzzer beater; the game was tied at 90. An inbounds pass was thrown to RJ, who caught it in the air and then layed it up. VC went crazy on the bench; I think this was before he even played a game for us. and the place looked close to sold out! it was a strange time; we had just got rid of two of our good players (kittles and k-mart) and were a team in transition.

It didn't come to mind immediately, but yeah, I was at this game. I remember a lot of real sketchy calls on LeBron at the end - wonder who the refs were betting on this game? Jabari Smith had a great fake to throw his man off of that inbound pass at the end.
I remember going to that game with friends, hoping to get the Bleacher Seats or whatever the $15 ones were called at the time (unfortunately you needed to bring a newspaper cut-out to get them though). It was a great game, full of Jabari Smith and Rodney Buford sightings. I was way up top in the upper bowl throughout, and when RJ hit the game winning alley-oop I jumped up so high that I landed in the row in front of me! Luckily no one was sitting there...
I was at this game, too. It was RJ's career high in scoring, and still stands. He had 42 I think. Lebron had one of the most obvious travels in the world at the end of the game, and got a T for arguing for it.
