I’m not a Heat fan, but I am a fan of greatness. Hate on him all you want, but the guy has crazy skills. I can’t believe all the slander I saw last night from Kobe fans (ok, maybe I can). Can’t LeBron just enjoy this?! Lmao, the hate for Bron is so real.
LeBron James is still going for that MVP — he scored a career-high 61 points, breaking Glen Rice’s franchise record, in the Heat’s 124-107 win over the Bobcats. Hit the jump for more details, his postgame interview & highlights…
Via ESPN:
Dazzling from inside and out, James put on the best scoring show of his NBA life Monday night, pouring in 61 points — a career high and franchise record — as the Miami Heat beat the Charlotte Bobcats 124-107. It was the eighth straight win for the two-time defending champions, who are starting to roll as the playoffs get near.
James made 22 of 33 shots from the field, including his first eight 3-point attempts.
“The man above has given me some unbelievable abilities to play the game of basketball,” James said. “I just try to take advantage of it every night. I got the trust of my teammates and my coaching staff to go in there and let it go.”
His career best had been 56 points, on March 20, 2005, for Cleveland against Toronto. Glen Rice scored 56 to set the Heat record on April 15, 1995, against Orlando.
