While most of the world spent yesterday salivating for a lackluster Final Four, we spent the day rewatching the second half of the best NBA game of the entire year.
It was either six or seven times, and each viewing was just as incredible as the last.
LeBron vs. Wade was officially born yesterday, and there’s plenty of praise going around this morning. The full assortment of links are at the end of this post – we’ll go with a little Pat Riley action to give you taste of what you may have missed.
The two young stars put on a show of dazzling dunks, drives and playoff-caliber hustle that awed fans, their teammates and a coach who witnessed the legendary battles between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.
“People got a view of absolute greatness,” Heat coach Pat Riley said. “It’s absolutely beyond description. I haven’t seen players do that in a long, long time.”
It was that good – if you missed it, then you didn’t see it, plus you were obviously doing something else. Thank god Riles said it was beyond description – that pretty much gives us clearance to stop trying to describe it.
One thing we noticed on viewing number three was that Dwyane Wade is somewhat of a fraud. He’s not wearing tights at all – he’s wearing some kind of long stockings. We don’t know if that’s the right word, but the revelation was both shocking and shocking.
Terry Pluto tries to help Clevelanders understand what this is that we’re witness to, because we’ve never had anything close to this before.
Bud Shaw tries and fails to describe the whole thing. Should’ve listened to Riles, Bud.
Ira Winderman cedes performance victory to LeBron.
Israel says the duel between these lads was bigger than the game itself, and nobody will remember that the Cavs won.
Stephon Marbury and Larry Brown are in disagreement over whether Starbury is really hurt or not. Oops, that one was just for fun.
