There has been a ridiculous amount of hype lately about whether or not Lebron James will go to the New York Knicks in 2010 when his contract is up in Cleveland. So much so that a lot of fans and bloggers have gotten sick of the talk. To give you a specific example, I had to laugh at J.E. Skeets post on Ball Don’t Lie yesterday making light of the situation.
Going in to last night’s game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden, I was praying praying praying that the Knicks would keep it close so the game announcers would have to stay focused on the in-game action and not belabor the issue further. NO SUCH LUCK! Not to take anything away from the Cavs great performance, but Mike D’Antoni’s team really tanked huge on this one. And unfortunately the announcers spent 99.9% of the game discussing the same old points over and over again about whether or not Lebron would go to the Knicks in 2010.
“It’s not about money”, “He wants to win a championship”, “Can the Knicks clear enough cap space?”, “Can the Knicks sign Wade and Amare to entice Lebron?”, blah blah blah blah. Enough already!!!
So on that note i’d like to bring it back to “Tha Real” and what the true fan cares about….the on-court action. Since it was Lebron in the Garden, today’s video is focused on Lebron’s main highlights from the game. There would have been many more highlights, but given the fact that the Cavaliers were up by 20-30 points most of the game, Lebron was either a spectator on the sideline or trying to get his teammates involved as much as possible. Either way, you can always count on ‘Bron for some highlight reel plays….
