"These were the final acts of a 37-point, 18-rebound, 13-assist game in which he missed his first 10 shots, one almost cost his team a crucial basket because he was lying on the ground complaining about not getting a foul call. Maybe he even milked his injuries as he’s wont to do, once limping and asking to come out in overtime only to wave off the Cavs' bench after David Blatt blanched as he briefly considered the possibility.

The numbers look impressive, and because this is the conference finals, there was a weight to the outcome. But in reality this wasn’t truly one of James’ great career games."

Yeah...I don't think anybody would say that this game was one of Lebron's legendary games. It's not even close really.

Do yourselves a favor and read the entire article. Windhorst is actually praising Lebron's game 3. The title of the article is "LeBron Pulls out Customary Playoff Heroics."

Notice how the OP's quote begins with, "These were the final acts of a 37-point, 18-rebound, 13-assist game..." Well, what were Lebron's final acts of this game? Windhorst tells you right before the OP's carefully selected excerpt:


"Because with the Cavs trailed in overtime and James having made a measly 9-of-61 3-pointers over the past five weeks of the playoffs, he was willing and able to fearlessly make a 3-pointer with less than 40 seconds left. And after missing 23 other shots and his leg cramping (yes, cramps again) he managed to bank in a driving shot 30 seconds later to provide a vital cushion."

Speaking of selective.

Speaking of selective.

At least I suggested that people read the entire article.
