LeBron decided he wanted to play three quarters

Mama told me there would be days like this! This statement applies to LeBron James, who dropped a cool 24 points along with 12 rebounds and 11 assists. Or you could be talking about the Hornets who had to watch James carve through their defense like they were a YMCA all-star team.

LeBron James receives the pass from Josh Hart and notices Tyson Chandler running down the middle of the floor.

With all of the Hornets fixated on him, no one protect the rim and Tyson Chandler rocks the rim.

Then there’s always this…

It was LeBron’s night. He sat out the entire fourth quarter after dominating the entire game. He provided the energy and set the tone. When he decides to play this way, good luck beating the Lakers. He played great.

But let me tell you about this dude!
