Ranking LeBron James’ Top 5 Moments from First Cavs Stint
By Luke Sicari
5- LEBRON LIGHTS UP THE GARDEN…TWICE
Known as ‘The Mecca’, Madison Square Garden is the home of some memorable moments, not only in sports but also in the entertainment business. LeBron made sure his name would be enriched in MSG’s lore early in his career.
The King’s first dominating performance at MSG was in 2008, when James posted a stat line of 50 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds in a Cavalier victory. James’ 3-point barrage in the final quarter put the Knicks away and capped off an incredible individual performance.
Just days after Kobe Bryant scored 61 points in what was an historic MSG performance, LeBron made sure he put on a show which was just as good. The result? The casual 52 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for The King. LeBron has a knack for putting up big numbers at MSG. Make sure you circle December 5th and February 23rd in your calendars Cavs…and Knicks fans.
