I thought Len's brother was the next Lebron.

tee, hee.

Worth noting that LeBron had a triple-double 32-11-11 in his first-ever playoff game against Washington.

He had another triple-double 21-10-10 in Game 3 of the next round against Detroit with the Cavaliers down 2-0 and needing a win to stay breathing. Took over in the fourth quarter too, leading the Cavaliers from behind.

People who say LeBron is a choker and/or not a big-game player haven't been watching. He's had great games in big games his entire career.

He's laid some tremendous eggs as well, Joe.

Well, you don't have to tell me that, Cully. But a bad game doesn't necessarily equate to choking. Sometimes a bad game is just a bad game.

I think LeBron's problem is he doesn't have to go-to move that enables him to be consistent against elite defensive teams like the '07 Spurs and '08 Celtics. If the jumpers aren't falling and he isn't getting to the FT line he doesn't have much to fall back on.

That's why he puts out stinkers like the first two games of the '08 ECSF in Boston (8-of-42, 17 turnovers.)
