NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
LeBron James is the King
It is about time.
If you are the King, then you have to rule!
And Rule he did, as LeBron put up 51 on the Memphis Grizzlies.
Everyone knows that LeBron is a point guard/shooting guard in a small forwards 6′ 8″ body.
You have seen him handle the rock and take it to the hole to either slam it home or dish off to the open man.
He gets great stats, but…
Well, you know, Kobe and Iverson always seem to have the big scoring nights. The flashy nights.
LeBron just seems well rounded. We want more from the King!
Heck, Cleveland has struggled all year. Forget the all around game and start scoring with a passion.
LeBron had no problem in this game.
LeBron James scored a season-high 51 points, including 25 in the fourth quarter and overtime, to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 132-124 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night.
GAME REPORT: Cavaliers 132, Grizzlies 124 (OT)
James made 18 of 28 shots and also had nine assists and eight rebounds as the Cavaliers handed their Grizzlies their fifth straight loss. source
The 51 tied Allen Iverson for the single season high in the NBA this year.
Kobe Bryant had 48 Monday night for his high on the season. Kobe must be feeling a little put out right now.
NBA Basketball LeBron James factoid - James’ career high is 56 points against Toronto in March 2005.
Oh, and Cleveland won the game, too.
