Ok...this is a definite wallpaper! LeBron's 17th chasedown of the season, and 40th over two campaigns.

It came at the expense of Will Bynum, the 3rd of the season against the Pistons. He had also gotten Rodney Stuckey and Rip Hamilton in the prior two engagements.

The replay showed Bynum got the ball on the glass first, as LeBron had to admit, but it was such a narrow sliver of difference between LBJ catching ball first, his Chasedown reputation undoubtedly helped him. We've all seen him do it with such precision, you expect him to pull off the amazing, athletic feat every time.

Tommy Heinsohn told me last season, Bill Russell is the only player he has ever seen, have the timing, and athletic ability to make these kind of breathtaking deletions. You're now seeing college high flyers try it, easier said than done. To get to the ball in time, not commit the foul and keep it in play makes it the perfect storm. It's almost like an inside the park home run - a rare, rare moment in a game that takes on a life of it's own.

I think we all know what we are watching every night as no one has the total package like the King!

See you on the broadcast!

He’s baaack…LeBron says he’s excited about getting back on the floor in Philly as six days off did him good from a body maintenance stand point. If it was the postseason, he would not have missed any time. This was a great call by Mike to give LBJ some time to rest, although he kept himself in shape and as LeBron says, he never really loses rhythm when he sits. He called it a blessing to get this time off. Remember last season, he was able to sit out 14 4^th quarters, which helped him stay as fresh as possible.

Exhibit A, today in practice, a coast-to-coast down the LBJ freeway off a rebound and a smash. Then, moments later, a beautiful halfcourt play with LeBron taking a high handoff from Mo. Number 23 had his pit stop and is ready to go. He says at this time of year, aches never totally go away, but that’s the case for every player in the league.

LeBron got a chance to watch St. V. play in the tournament yesterday, and then did his total NBA experience at his home. He says he watches from 7:00 p.m. on, catching a little of each game, on what you would say is a wall of TV’s. Sort of like a TV control room you might say. Yours truly also watched a bunch last night, but on one TV screen and not quite with the attention span the King does. That would be fun to sit with him and watch five hours of hoop. Just seeing how intently he watches games in the locker room and how he breaks it down gives you an idea of how wired in he is.

See you on the broadcast from Philly.
