2. LeBron James was AGGRESSIVE on offense!
LeBron James was DOMINANT last night. He knew the Blazers couldn’t stop him, and more importantly, he didn’t bail them out with that irritating pound the ball on the left wing…sidestep and fire up 28 footers all night.
Last night he took the ball to the cup!
In these set of highlights, with exception of one 3-point shot, notice every move LeBron James made were strong moves to the basket.
After hitting all of his four 3-point attempts, it would have been easy for him to fall in love with the shot from distance and keep shooting. But no, he kept imposing his will on Portland by attacking them time after time.
This is what he has to do for the Lakers to be successful. I mean, not too many people are going to take 35 minutes of physicality from James. That’s just a fact!
Lets’ all enjoy history one more time!

Even in history, LeBron James did it perfectly. In his normal sport on the left wing, how many times have we seen that sidestep three in the fourth quarter? Not on this night. He sized Layman up took him to the paint and drew the foul! Did you hear a whistle? I did…AND 1!
It’s amazing the effects of LeBron James being aggressive…
