LeBron James Delivers Madison Square Garden Encore With Triple Double
Jay-Z was amongst those in attendance at Madison Square Garden Wednesday looking for an encore to the 61 Kobe hung on the Knicks Monday, and LeBron James did not disappoint. To the tune of a triple double, LeBron answered the bell going for 52-11-10, leading the Cavaliers to a 107-102 win over the Knicks, extending their record to 40-9 overall.
There were a couple interesting things about the game too, besides the fact that Mike D’Antoni sill obviously hates defense.
The first was in comparison to Kobe’s game Monday. Kobe went for 3 assists and 0 rebounds to go along with his record setting 61. I am not sure how you could play a whole NBA game and not accidently get a rebound, but that was Kobe’s line. LeBron, on the other hand, dishes out 11 dimes and grabs 10 boards, all the while scoring 50+.
To me, I would rather take the latter if I’m building a franchise. Do you think LeBron couldn’t have gotten 10 more points if he looked to pass a few less times, and didn’t waste all that energy rebounding?
Additionally, what is with Knicks fans these days? I know their team stinks, but chanting M-V-P for Kobe on Monday, and cheering as LeBron grabs his 10th rebound of the game should be embarrassing if you’re a New York sports fan, no?
Spike Lee and Reggie Miller used to think so.

LeBron is just ridiculous. Did anyone doubt that he would have a huge last night? And I agree JD: far, far more impressive than Kobe’s game. LeBron continues to amaze with his all-around brilliance.
