He pulled up from 20 feet, easy as an August afternoon at St. V, with the same result. I know it wasnt the magnitude of MJ hitting that shot in 98, but I definitely thought about him, James said. It was an MJ moment. He paused as a turn of phrase came to mind. It was an LJ moment. James has, of course, been compared to Jordan incessantly over the course of his NBA career and, in truth, going back to his high school days at St. Vincent-St. Mary’s in Akron, Ohio, where he was proclaimed to be the next heir to Air’s throne despite featuring a facilitator’s floor game frequently much more reminiscent of Magic Johnson’s than Jordan’s. Over the years, James has at times bristled at such comparisons.

LeBron James and the Miami Heat are once again World Champs

The former Air Force coach is known to be fiercely loyal to his players and Ginobli has been a good solider for a decade (assuming the role of super-sub way before it was popular). Ginobli, like Wade, is an injury riddled star in the twilight of his career. His play throughout the NBA Finals had been abhorrent though the play of neophyte Danny Green (the former D-leaguer who set the NBA Finals record for three-point-shooting), the always steady Tim Duncan, and star Tony Parker alleviated the void he left in productivity. Like Wade, Ginobli had one vintage performance in him in Game 5. He was a surprise starter and took advantage to the tune of 24 points and 10 assists though it was his lone productive game in the series. It all came to a head in Game 6. Despite Ginoblis ineffectiveness, the Spurs had built a 13 point lead with just 4 minutes left, moments away from tasting the champagne. Dwyane Wade was nowhere to be seen for the Heat with their season in serious danger as LeBron James and any/every shooter Spoelstra could find fought desperately to save their dreams of a dynasty alive. The Cleveland Lineup, fronted by a dominant James (32 points 10 rebounds and 11 assists, the first player to go 30/10/10 in the Finals since Barkley in 93) shot their way back into the game.
