July 1, 2013 'LEBRON ON HIS MJ MOMENT' 🐐:
strawberry. "There were times," he said, "I couldn't eat." Before a game he was too anxious. Afterward he was too wired. The 6'8" James is listed at 250 pounds, but like a grizzly before hibernation he packs on an extra 10 to 15 in preparation for the playoffs. As his minutes rise he inevitably sheds a few, but this spring he dropped them all. "It was the stress," he says, "and the work." James usually sleeps seven or eight hours.
Last Friday morning, after Miami's 95--88 win in Game 7, basketball's indestructible man woke up and wondered if he had been in some kind of accident. "I felt all these nicks and bruises and little injuries I didn't know I had," James says. "My back, my hamstring, my ankle, both my elbows, they were all aching. I guess I just didn't pay attention to them." At least his belly was full.
Before Game 7, Miami assistant David Fizdale showed James cut-ups of the San Antonio defense leaving him alone near the free throw line. Then coaches underlined his sterling percentages in that area this season. "Even the best have self-doubt at times when what they're doing isn't working," James says. "You need a reminder." He does not study hot maps, but he does watch old tapes. He found one that was taken last summer in his high school gym, at St. Vincent--St.
The last two Finals games skipped to the top tier of the James oeuvre, illustrating both his fury and finesse. He scored a combined 69 points with 22 rebounds and 15 assists, pushing the Heat in Game 6 with bull rushes, and lifting the team in Game 7 with moonbeams. "This is what I was going to tell you," Carter told him when the series was over, between giddy hugs. "It's not wrong to ask a great player to be great.
Whether or not the Heat becomes a dynasty, it's been a rollicking reign, and Miami has one more year until the headliners can opt out of their contracts. Yes, James will be confronted with another decision, but it will be handled in a more understated way than the one in '10. "I'm a totally different person on the court, off the court and everywhere in between," he says. "I know it will come up, but it's not going to come up until it's at that point.
During the fourth quarter at Quicken Loans Arena a 21-year-old man ran up to James on the floor wearing a shirt that read, we miss you, 2014 come back. Instead of recoiling, James patted him sweetly on the head. "Yeah, that's James Blair, he's my guy," James says. He did not know Blair before the incident but has since followed him on Twitter, and waved when he ran into him at Bamboo Nightclub in Miami last Friday night.
