Apparently after game two passing at the end of this one was not in the plans!

His last shot was sick

Yeah....and he also got away with the most obvious travel in the history of organized basketball. Not PROFESSIONAL basketball...ORGNANIZED basketball. I've seen 6 year old kids pick up the ball and run with it without dribbling for 20 feet and even THAT wasn't as obvious as Lebron's travel.....so I guess he's "arrived" in the eyes of the referee's as well...as they are already giving him the Jordan treatment in the playoffs as well........give him credit though, he got the win.

i thought at first that the first of his last two was a travel but i saw the replay and the ball was knocked out of his hand

the second one the game winner i have to see again - it looked ugly but the hop and step has been allowed in the nba ever since dominique - people whine about it when their team loses - it goes on all the time

whether he traveled or not - how many players have the strength to go up and put that shot up while going down like he did - the shot was incredible

I have to say Jesus how do they let Gilbert Arenas get that open for that three - it was a miracle that he missed it

That was a pretty incredible performance for anyone much less a 21 year old

I thought the first one was a travel too, but it wasnt (the ball was knocked out of his hands)... but the "game winning" shot was absolutely a travel, and like Koop said was the most obvious non-travel call in the history of organized bball.

LeBron jumpstopped, then took 2 full steps (1 step after a jumpstop is a travel) before hanging and hitting. The hang and hit was pretty sick and took a lot of strength, but that non-travel call was absolutely horrendous.

without a doubt, that last shot was as obvious a travel as I've ever seen. I mean, he easily took too many steps, plus I'm not entirely sure he actually let go of the ball before he landed back on the floor, which would have made it even worse. Funniest thing was him and coach Brown complaining because they wanted a foul called on the play.

Doesn't mean he's not a great player though. He's gonna need a little more help from teammates I think to win the series.

either way i'm from cleveland I'll take it

by the way just read a cleveland columnist - he thinks gilbert charged on the three point play preceding it and that lebron got fouled on the last play

love those home town writers smile.gif

This is a little late and I'm a bit biased but that game 3 winning shot by Lebron was obviously a travel. He WAS fouled, but it was after he traveled so technically it wasn't a foul. That shot from Arenas was in and out, but unlike some players, Arenas was able to come back in game 4 and reign down 20 points in the 4th quarter after a really slow start. Lebron on the other hand started incredibly fast with 25 in the first half, but then dissapeared down the stretch. I'm sure it will be a different story in Cleveland for game 5, but I'm having fond memories of last year's game 5 against Chicago where Arenas hit his memorable game winner over Hinrich to take a 3-2 series lead.
