LeBron: A Weapon Of Mass Destruction

CLEVELAND - I have been saying for months now that LeBron James is an illegal alien based on his out-of-this-world basketball heroics and the obvious advantage it gives him over his opponents.

Take a look at last night's game.

James, the super leader of the Cleveland Cavaliers once again clawed and dug his suddenly defensively limp team out of their funk and steered them to a rousing 126-123 victory over the Sacramento Kings.

The victory ended their three-game west coast road trip and gave them a 3-0 record, but given the nature of the games, there is hardly reason to celebrate. In a matchup with the L.A. Clippers to kick their trip off, the Cavs rallied from a huge 19-point deficit in the fourth quarter and actually won by four, thanks to James' sterling 32 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. 

Two nights later in Phoenix, LeBron was super galactic again with 34 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists for his third straight triple-double. On one play, James raced back on defense as Suns star Jason Richardson leaked out for a breakaway. Nearly impossible to catch, Richardson went up for a 360 degree dunk but LeBron, pedal to the metal leaped and blocked the once sure-fire dunk from behind.

It was breathtaking.

That victory, a 119-111 decision gave Cleveland their first victory in Phoenix in 10 years. For last night's contest with Sacramento, the Cavs were facing a futile, 14-50 team. After falling behind early, Cleveland led at halftime by a single point. After a blazing third quarter for the Kings, the Cavs entered the final period down by 14.

Enter LeBron. Again.

The 6th year wonder netted 16 in the quarter and outdueled Kings' star Kevin Martin, even stealing a pass in the closing seconds that led to his game-tying foul shot with five seconds left. James defended Martin very well down the stretch, including the final play of regulation which caused Martin to miss and sent the game into overtime.

When the dust settled, LeBron had six of his glittering 51 points in the extra session including an audacious 28-foot three pointer that put his team up by six. With the victory, Cleveland earned the Central Division title -- something that they haven't owned in 33 years.

With a month left in the regular season, LeBron is proving himself to be the brick wall that separates other teams from an NBA title.

Maybe they should look for their own alien to compete with King James.
