Well, he shot it. Not a great look but it was a strong move to the hoop, plus he probably got fouled. I guess that answers that question.
However, there is far bigger question for the Cleveland Cavaliers – what are they going to do to win while they still have LeBron James? Currently he’s surrounded by a mismatched group of underperformers and an awful coach. I really don’t like Larry Hughes at all and if he’s signed as a “shooter” to complement LeBron then he should be able to hit an open 8-footer to win a game. Daniel Gibson might eventually be the answer at point, but he’s still too raw to be counted on. Ilgauskas isn’t suited for this team, and Pavlovic isn’t anything more than a bit player. Varejao has really been impressive this series, but he’s the only Cav (including LeBron) that has.
LeBron is a top 5 talent, but he’s handcuffed by having to play with these guys. The Cavaliers need to do everything they can to get someone who can give LeBron some consistent help. If not, I can’t see James wanting to stay around Cleveland for too long. He’s stated that he wants to become a global icon, but that’ll only happen if he wins something. And if he isn’t winning in Cleveland, what’s the point of staying?

14.5 ppg on 35.3% shooting. 3.5 FT attempts per game. 8 apg, 8 rpg, and 4 turnovers per game. Efficiency per game, 18.5. Efficiency per 48 minutes, 19.72. That's not "really impressive". Not for a player of LeBron's caliber, not for one that draws the praise that LeBron does, not for one who continually gets pity for not having enough help from his "supporting cast".
Isn't it almost a given that 'Bron will opt out of his contract in 2009 and play for the Bulls, Clippers, Lakers, or Knicks? His endorsement deals increase astronomically if he ends up in a big city, and he seems to be more concerned with endorsements than winning.
Oops...lol. I posted the first comment. Sorry if it was based on a misreading of the blog.
