LEBRON JAMES IS many things — but one thing he’s not is lazy.
The Cleveland Cavaliers were 17 points up late in the third quarter against the San Antonio Spurs last night when LeBron lost possession as he tried to drive to the basket.
A lot of players would have given up the ghost and an easy two points but not LeBron. He broke into a sprint in pursuit of Manu Ginobili and just as Ginobili was about to pop off an easy layup, made a huge block to win back possession.
I think the Americans call that “good hustle.” The Cavs went on to win 117-103.
