NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
It surprises me that we are even commenting on LeBron when it comes to playing Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder, a rare team name without the letter “S”, has never really been a threat to beat anyone, but lo and behold they have a winning record.
The NBA is really good at marketing individuals instead of teams, a concept they started back in the Bird vs. Magic era, an era that saved the NBA. So a game with the Thunder becomes a LeBron vs. Kevin Durant game and to many fans it is nothing more than that at this stage of the season. It is hard for most fans, NBAObsessed included to get all caught up in wins and losses at this point of the season. Thunder fans are just happy at this point to be winning.
LeBron was able to put up 44 on the Thunder and you have to wonder how he does it? Not that he is not capable of exploding for 44 points at any given moment, but how does LeBron perform at such a high level for night after night? That is the reason that so many teams covet the future contract of LeBron.
LeBron James brings it every night
An example of how good LeBron James came be came in with the Cavaliers behind late in the third quarter.
The Thunder were up 75-68 with a minute and half left in the third quarter before James scored seven straight points to tie it. He answered Durant’s free throw with a 26-foot 3-pointer that gave the Cavs the lead heading into the fourth.
“It’s tough to guard a guy who’s that quick, that strong, that’s making shots that deep,” Green said. “He’s one of the top players in the NBA. He turned it on when his team needed it the most.”
