LeBron James Demonstrates the Less-Than-Illustrious History of the Cavaliers
LeBron James is 23 years old. He would have difficulty renting a car (if he were not LeBron James.) He is the Cleveland Cavaliers all-time leading scorer. All-time.
James passed Brad Daugherty as Cleveland’s career scoring leader in the first quarter and finished with 29 points, leading the Cavaliers to a 90-83 win over the Toronto Raptors on Friday night in a possible first-round playoff preview.
In just his fifth NBA season, James has already moved to the top of Cleveland’s scoring chart, a remarkable achievement for a remarkable player whose potential seems limitless. He scored 23 points in the second half, including 11 in the final 7:19 as the Cavaliers won their ninth straight at home.
Remarkably, LeBron James has completely lived up to the hype. He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a junior in high school, and has not been a disappointmet in any conceivable way. He had been built up so much so that he had to be the best player in the NBA right away or else, and he pretty much is the best player in the NBA, pretty much right away. In fact, LeBron James might have been the only thing ever to live up to the hype. At least as far as I can remember, LeBron James is the only thing that was ever as good as people said it was.
