Okay, after going after the Celtics and Paul Pierce I didn't think it was right to not comment on LeBron James. Was that not one of the weirdest things you've seen in a long time. In the closing seconds of game 5 LeBron shot a free throw left handed after injuring it sometime during the game. He still played well enough throughout the game to score 19 points, grab 10 rebounds and dish out 9 assists. Yet, with seven seconds left in the game he felt it was necessary to shoot with his left hand for fear of injuring it further! Then afterward he said he was completely fine. I'm just a little confused. Are we seeing some posturing here? I've seen some theatrics from LeBron before, baiting refs for foul calls, but this is a little different. LeBron will not let Paul Pierce out-do him in this playoff series...in anything. Maybe these guys are just gearing up for the upcoming World Cup this summer. Welcome to the NBA Playoffs, where over-dramatized injuries happen.
I think LeBron is just giving a preview for one of the most dramatic and mind-blowing performance in NBA history in round 2. How, you may ask, by pulling a classic Inigo Montoya and revealing that he really is left-handed and has been toying the NBA with his off hand. This may be a little far-fetched, but I'm totally hoping for this to happen.
