Players that young don’t lead 50-win teams to the NBA Finals, nor do they shrug off battle-tested champions. LeBron was destined for greatness, but even this felt unfathomable. In the remaining 6:05, plus 10 minutes from two overtime periods, James would drop another 29 points, including 25 straight, and carry the Cavaliers to what was then easily one of their biggest wins in franchise history. The Cavs held a one-point lead with 6:06 left in regulation, and LeBron had just 19 points. If anyone did what he did in Game 5 of that series in 2023, the 14 engineers who still work at Twitter would melt trying to keep feeds up and running. In 2007, making just his second playoff appearance, 22-year-old LeBron swept the Wizards, needed only six games to take down the Jason Kidd–Vince Carter Nets, and then, miraculously, wiped the floor with a proud Pistons team that was three years removed from raising the Larry O’Brien Trophy. LeBron didn’t even give Donald Trump the dignity of using the first two letters in “you.” If there’s ever been a more succinct, economical use of the English language, I’d love to see it. It’s not every day that one of the most visible people on the planet roasts the president of the United States with an all-time social media burn. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!- LeBron James September 23, 2017 U bum already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite.
