LeBron shows the Nets how Cleveland gets down

The NBA schedule-makers shouldn't allow the Nets to play on the same floor as the Cavaliers. New Jersey might as well have forfeited this game. When LeBron and the best team in the NBA rolls into town, a thrashing is all but guaranteed. The Cavaliers likely played their last game in the Izod Arena last night, as it is expected that the Nets will move to Brooklyn next year.

This game was hardly a contest. There were so many dunks, and the frustration of the Nets was evident right from the start. LeBron had 8 assists in the 1st quarter alone, and threw down some classy dunks that left the crowd wanting more. When you have the worst team in the league, potentially the worst team of all-time, you don't get to see LeBron try his hardest.

In their second game without Shaq, the Cavs yet again didn't miss a step. Hickson, Jamison, and Varejao all brought their A-game and the route was on early. LeBron finished with 26 points, 14 assists, 7 boards, and 3 steals. Sorry New Jersey, but LeBron won't be joining the worst team in the NBA after this season. Even though LeBron is boys with part-owner Jay-Z, it doesn't make sense to leave a team that will contend for championships for the foreseeable future.

The King had several incredible plays in this one, my favorite being a jump bounce-pass to Varejao that got the crowd on their feet. No one else in the league has the size, strength, and sight to even come close to making that play. He dribbled towards the top of the key, palmed the bal in his right hand, and sailed through the air while bouncing a ridiculous pass to the Wild Thing for an easy layup. The King's other unreal play was a twisting layup that required the perfect amount of touch, which of course he delivered.

It's a great time to be a fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron is head and shoulders the best player in the world, and the things he does on a nightly basis justify why he'll win back-to-back MVP trophys. I fully expect the Cavs to destroy the Pistons on Friday, because there's something about playing on ESPN that gets the Akron Hammer going. LeBron will extend the Cavs winning streak to 6 games, because he doesn't accept losing.. ever. LeBron James is underrated
