    He should have had 40 plus if not for the refs being terrible the entire game.

    Both the Cavs and the Wiz were complaining all game.

    I only saw highlights from this game but watching the way he plays.....he plays in a way that is totally original from any kind of baller I have seen in the nba. Everyone has their own style but Lebron has got this style of play that is equal to none. Add in the fact that he is just as smart(if not smarter) than most of the NBA makes him equally dangerous.

    I am taking back my nomination for him as the most overrated player in the NBA, there are a lot of more deserving cats than this man. I think I'm nominating him for most underpaid(due to the rookie salary of course).

    I also saw highlights on SportsCenter last night. The man is amazing. This was what he was supposed to be doing earlier in the season and finally he's making the best out of it. Congrats LeBron in this young career of yours.

    I wasn't able to watch the game, but from what I've seen, he must not have been getting very many calls for him to get a technical. He has been very soft spoken and calm on the court all year and at most has flashed a surprised look and raised his hands in the air if he didn't agree with a call.

    The scary thing for opponents is that he did most of his work in just 2 quarters. He scored 33 of his points in the 1st and 3rd alone. Oh, and did I mention he is just 19?

    Its about time the Cavs finally have something worth getting excited over. And no, a 350 lb. Shawn Kemp wasn't worth getting very excited.

    Great job by Lebron! I only saw the highlights and I had a smirk on my face when he got the technical. He wanted that 40th point quite a bit. As a Pistons fan, I want him to fail but secretly I want him to have a great career.

    I didn't think that he would be this good in his rookie year. He exceeded my expectations and probably the expections of everybody else too. As I said a long time ago, in my 2nd week at JBB: Stop the hate, Lebron is great! [​IMG]

    This is what happens when you give your players more minutes to play.He's getting better and better as the season goes on.He gets more confidence and experience.Look at him now,he's unbelivable.Not every 19 year old can play that well.

    KJ, I was at the game and you would not believe how many people wanted him to get 40 it was crazy. He was getting hacked like i dont know what on the play he got the tech for. he was on a tear i thought he would end up having 50

    Lebron was getting hacked like crazy. But it was pretty funny when he launched his headband into the stands, and the Silas laughing while telling him to settle down. It was funny and he was awesome. As soon as he came out and hit his first to jumpers i new he was going to have a big game. Congratulations BRON BRON!!!!!!!!!!

    that's what i was wondering. 'bron has been putting up ridiculous #s all year. i didn't expect him to put up 40 a game as soon as he came into the league.

    I'm impressed with how humble LeBron is. He is not caught up with his personal acheivements and is constantly wanting to learn and improve. He has the attitude of a Magic, Bird, Jordan, and Kobe. He is concerned only with wins and always gives thanks to his teammates after the game. I was skeptical when he first came into the league after the throw-back jersey and Hummer situation and some other negative reports on LeBron. In hindsight it appears those reports were blown out of proportion and were feable attempts to tarnish the pure image of LeBron. A lot of hype and pressure has been put on him, but he has exceeded my expectations and many others. It will be amazing if he can lead the Cavs into the playoffs in his first year.

    absolutely. lebron is extremely humble and considering the hype that has surrounded him since his sr. yr. at st. vincent/st. mary's. he is playing strong, unselfish basketball and doing an incredible job playing pg as a mere teenager. besides his ability on the court, i am most impressed with how well-spoken he is. the media is tough to handle and he gets more than his share but he is always composed and handles them like a seasoned veteran. remember a couple years ago when the nba was worried about keeping fans in the seats with jordan's retirement and all and everybody was saying kobe would be the next jordan. everybody was wrong; lebron will replace jordan as everybody's favorite. anybody who hasn't been won over yet will be won over be before long.

    Well, the Cavs are 2nd in the league in road attendance this year, so that does speak volumes already.

    You should have been here a few months ago, we had mad haters that were ripping James apart for everything, some still do it. LeBron will be a lot like Jordan because the haters will always be there. MJ had mad haters that would never give him credit and awlays found an excuse to bash him. They would say the refs helped him the most with the titles, or that Phil Jackson and Scottie Pippen were the main reasons why he won. Or they would say that "so what, he is not the greatest ever", they would just bash him any way they could. Same will be said for James, like that person above that said that James should have games like he did against the Wizards every game, crazy stuff I know, but the hate will never stop. I remember when they said that James never played with pro's, but they never knew about the Jordan secret workouts or that he outperformed other top high schoolers at that time like Carmelo Anthony to impress scouts. Then they said he could not shoot, now James has been more consistent with his jump shot than well over half of the leagues proven veterans and all stars. People kept saying that he has not proved anything, well, not his fault, he is only a few months into his rookie season, so it's not like he had the chance. Then they said he could not finish games strong to lead the Cavs to a victory, well he only goes out and outscores a whole Trail Blazer team by himself in the 4th quarter to lead the Cavs to a victory, and since then James has took over ball games in the 4th and that is why we have been winning more ball games of late. Just one excuse/bash/hate after the other, really too much to list, but they will never go away. He can win 4 titles in a row, put up 30, 10, and 10 for a season, and the hate would still keep coming in.

    We really just have to laugh it off and let them keep feeling jealous.
