<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">The Magic doubled James every time he touched the basketball, they were not going to let him create anything, no one else could step up in the OT.</div> They didn't double him everytime maybe like twice they just did a good job of fronting him and putting pressure on the passer. Like they did to battie who couldn't get the ball to him for the last second shot.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> LeBron James and Tracy McGrady put on a show the NBA had to love. Returning to the site of his pro debut in a summer league game, James scored 34 points for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, a pretty impressive day of work until you consider McGrady answered with 41 in the Orlando Magic's 113-101 overtime victory. Juwan Howard scored Orlando's first eight points in the extra period, then McGrady made a pair of 3-pointers to finish with his second 40-plus game of the season. He also had eight rebounds and 11 assists. James matched last season's league scoring champion point for point for most of the afternoon. The rookie phenom made 13 of 28 shots, but was just 4-of-10 from behind the 3-point line and missed all four of his shots in overtime. Howard scored 19 points and Drew Gooden had 12 for the Magic, which has won seven of 10 since ending a 19-game losing streak. Carlos Boozer had 18 points and 18 rebounds for the Cavs, who had their first three-game winning in two seasons snapped. Reserve Eric Williams contributed 18 points and seven rebounds, taking up some of the scoring slack when James' shots stopped falling late in the game. The first meeting between two of the NBA's most popular young players drew the first sellout crowd to the T.D. Waterhouse Centre since James made his pro debut here in July. It also kicked off a nationally televised tripleheader featuring some of the league's highest-profile personalities and teams. James has the NBA's top-selling jersey, as well as a signature sneaker released just in time for Christmas, and McGrady's No. 1 is third on the jersey list behind Denver rookie Carmelo Anthony.</div> Full Story Box Score ---------- James has a scoring average of 19.8 on the season to lead all rookies (Melo 18.4, Wade 16.8)
It was a great game to watch. Really enjoyable. I thought some of the shots Lebron made were crazy. TMac did a really good job of answering back. The Cavaliers just couldn't get anything going in overtime and collapsed. Still a great game.
Trade Miles for Morris Peterson of the Rapters, he can score, jam, and hit the 3. Get rid of Miles, we don't need a PG we have LeBron
What a game this was.Lebron played great basketball and went toe to toe with a top 5 player in this league.Got to respect that. This kid is the best guard I've seen at his young age since MJ.I see him in the near future being in the same class as Jordan was throughour his career.Bold statement but I truely believe he will be right up there.
