LeBron!
Yeah, a few days after I complain about how interacting with the cultural products of GE, Disney and Vivendi is terrible, I find myself thrilled by an NBA game (the first time in a while). LeBron James' 48 point performance last night was the most incredible single player performance I have ever scene. It was better than Jordan's Flu Game - it was better than my favorite performance - Stockton's last five minutes in game 6 in Houston in 97, which ended with a buzzer beater. it was also better than Vince Young's Rose Bowl game.
What I find so fascinating about LeBron is that it is so obviously his physical makeup that gives him such an advantage. He's great because of his size, speed and agility. That's it. Another point to be made. Craig Sager asked him in the end: Did you ever know you could be this good. "No." James said with a smile. You could see that he was starting to enjoy himself.
Also, this is the first weekend in a while where I've been able to just relax - and I'm going to spend part of it watching "Knocked Up." Read the Times' Profile of Judd Apatow.
