With the series tied at 2, it’s no secret that tonight’s Game 5 of the Finals is huge. In fact, LeBron says it’s the biggest game of his life.
After spending a sleepless night reading columns about his struggles in Game 4, LeBron James is fully aware of the gravity of Thursday night’s Game 5 of the NBA Finals. It’s the biggest game of his life to this point.
“I understand what is at stake,” James said Thursday morning. “This is a big game, probably the biggest game of my life. I’m approaching it that way. Not probably, it is.”
James scored a career playoff-low eight points in the Miami Heat’s Game 4 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, setting up a pivotal Game 5 with the series tied 2-2. Instead of avoiding reactions from his letdown game, James chose to watch TV and look up what columnists had said about it on the Internet.
“I’m my own critic,” James said. “You’ve got to go out and do it yourself.”
