Kinda Irked at ESPN2!

They have a segment at the end of their show called top plays. I understand why Chabarkapra's highlight wasn't in there, because he's a rookie and he isn't Lebron James. However, a big man, making an open court steal off someone's dribble, then taking it to the house over them with rim rocking authority, that was a good clip!! I would have enjoyed that even if I wasn't a Suns fan! I hope they post that up on a server so all you guys who couldn't see the game get to see it!!

Yeah, that was an awesome play for any big man to make, not to mention a rookie. He completely posterized Ricky Davis. Was it a highlight on ESPN? I know they showed it on the postgame coverage on TNT.

True, but they also made the comment that Cabarkapa had his hand in Davis' face. Then they showed him airball the free-throw afterwards.

They could have at least showed some of Shawn Marion's highflying dunks in the game recap on SportsCenter. Instead they showed every clip of James that was available.

I am not trying to knock on James, but after watching the highlight reel they put on ESPN2 of his plays, I was amazed. Watching the game, I didn't get a sense he was having a good game. He didn't seem to dominate. He quietly went about contributing here and there. I mean, Marbury was absolutly red hot at one point, and then the Matrix had a very good stretch in the fourth that probably iced it for us in reality long before Marb's 3 or the power dunk by Matrix to end the game for us! At one point even Amare looked to be dominating the game, before he got jumper happy in the third and fourth quarter. I was also impressed by Ilgauskas for stretches he turned it on.

Did anyone notice the play in the low post by Zarko when he caused their big man to turn it over in the paint. For someone so skinny, he held his ground down low very well!!

Thats the thing that has really impressed me about lebron. He is picking his spots, and dominating the games so far without making his presence overly felt.

I was at the cleavland game, and at no point was I thinking, man Lebron must have better than a 20-10 game tonight.
