And following The Last Dance documentary that released last Spring, LeBron has made a few obvious moves to cement himself as the best player of all time. First, he declared his last two titles as the toughest chips ever won.
His second push will be properly elevating the importance of this postseason’s run. Technically, it has already begun.
He declared curry the MVP leading up to the game, trying to set up a victory as a win over the should-be MVP. Now, look for him to go score for score with the man he anointed as the rightful MVP at some point during this game.
Expect a few screens to land Curry on LeBron, so James can take the “MVP” into the post and manhandled him. Half the battle of greatness is narrative and LeBron just started writing a wale of a script.
