You want a legend? HERE’S a legend, or at least a legend-in-the-making.
Lebron James isn’t a legend yet, because he hasn’t won anything. But if the seventh game of the Celtics-Cavaliers series had been in Cleveland, no doubt it would be the Cavs taking on the Pistons this week for the NBA’s Eastern Conference championship.
It was a nail-biting pleasure to watch a legendary duel between superstars. James and Paul Pierce put on a show. As James put it, “Game 7 in the Garden, it gets no better than this.” No, it doesn’t, and no, it didn’t. And somewhere, Red is smiling, and flicking an ash on the parquet.
Paul Pierce’s number 34 will hang from the rafters one day, but Lebron James has the opportunity to transcend his sport. For any sports fan, it’s a treat to see an athlete like James in his prime.
But admit it, he is the OLDEST looking 24 year old in the world, no?
