Lebron James: Shoes
built 212 days ago
In February SVSM suffered its first two-game losing streak since LeBron joined the team. The first defeat came in a highly anticipated rematch with Oak Hill, at the Prime Time Shootout in Trenton, NJ. Though LeBron sizzled with 36 points, it wasn’t enough to overcome the Warriors and their top gun, Carmelo Anthony, who poured in 34. The Fighting Irish were beaten again a week later by George Junior Republic of Pennsylvania.

If LeBron had made the shot and/or gotten a whistle earlier in the shot clock, the Cavs could’ve dug in on defense and tried to win the game with a stop. Instead, their inexperience, and the inexperience of their coach, was exposed in a glaring way. LeBron dribbled the clock out at the top of the key and left himself only one option – drive to the basket and hope for the best. The best didn’t happen, and usually doesn’t on the road when it comes to expecting a whistle to win you a playoff game.

LeBron finished the year averaging 28 points, six assists and just under nine rebounds. An All-American on everybody’s list, he was named National Player of the Year by Gatorade, USA Today and Parade Magazine. But LeBron wasn’t completely satisfied with his season. His greatest cause for concern was the drop in his 3-point shooting (34%) and free throws (59.3%). He resolved to spend extra time in the gym working on both areas.
