26/7/6 on 11/19 shooting against the Nets tonight. If I didn't watch this game and just saw the box score I woulda thought LeBron had a great game.
Watching him play is another story. This had to be the wackest 26 points I've ever seen. Every basket other than that last desperation 3 was a layup or dunk. And most of them were not spectacular layups or dunks created from beating his man one on one on some incredible move. They were either off broken plays or in transition. He almost gets his points like a role player.
I think this is the main reason alot of LeBron's peers (players, coaches, GMs) don't respect him as much as Kobe. They don't just look at box scores the night later, most of the time they either watch the games or are studying tape. If you watch or play against LeBron you don't notice that he's filled that stat sheet. Only those fantasy football nerds that don't watch any games and only box scores are the only ones impressed by his game. What you notice is a guy that still lacks a jumpshot and is living off his unprecedented physical gifts.
