It's no secret that LeBron is known as the King, and it's no secret that he is routinely found torching the Sacramento Kings. But Friday, the 13th of March, 2009, was something different.
You may have seen the boxscore (if not, click here), and it's a ho-hum 51 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 3 blocked shots.
But the box score doesn't show timeliness, nor does it show momentum.
With the Cavaliers trailing by 14 going into the fourth quarter, LeBron had one of his signature I'm-going-to-throw-this-down-so-hard-that-the-opposing-crowd-will-give-me-a-standing-ovation-while-they-cover-their-mouts-in-awe dunks. That was all it took. The Cavs got a little momentum from the thunderous right arm of Bron, and slowly dragged themselves back into it.
One play can change the outcome of the game, and that dunk was the biggest shift toward the Cavaliers that could have happened. No - he didn't get fouled for a 3-point play, or hit a deep 3...it was just two points. But after those two points cut the lead to about 10, Sacramento suddenly looked confused and shaken.
