LeBron Pops 46 in 46, Extends Cavs Career Yet Again

Let's say the Board of Governors gets into some of that leftover LSD from those wacky nuclear silo watchmen at Warren AFB in Wyoming.

And let's say their mind expansion leads them to league expansion by six teams next season.

Because lining their already bulging coffers with another kajillion dollars in entry fees would just be trippin'.

 

If so, dudes should award franchises to five cities and just give one to LeBron James if he agrees to play for it.

The way he's dialed in these days, the NBA would wind up with their own version of the Vegas Golden Knights.

Hell, even the NHL might find a way to let his team play for the Stanley Cup.

 

That's the sorta stratosphere James is frequenting right now. Just ask him.

Just watch him. Until the Rockets and Warriors got weird, LeBron's force of will has been the storyline in these playoffs:

• The Indiana Pacers saw him break through the fatigue threshold,
• The top-seeded Toronto Raptors just ... well, just; and now
• The Boston Celtics thought they'd caught lightning in a bottle, but no.

Dude could teach Django a thing or two about being unchained.

 

As if they didn't already know, the Celtics got another sampling of LeBron's dominance in Game 6:

 

The question now is, will the home court's influence be as dominant in Game 7 as it's been throughout the series?

Every stat but the one that counts says the Cavs have a chance on Boston's legendary parquet floor.

Of course, it goes without saying any team with LeBron can't be discounted. Even an expansion team.
