King James, a shoe-in for the All-Star game

With each passing day, the 21-year-old from Akron, Ohio, Lebron James continues get thrive against some of the best competition in the NBA. He displayed an impressive performance last night against the Bobcats, scoring 30 points while adding 6 assists, 6 rebounds, and 5 steals. Coming off a 44-point outburst against Phoenix on Sunday Lebron is red hot now. He looks to make his second apperance in the upcoming All-Star game. Already he's declined to participate in the Slam Dunk contest in February.

Everyone may be thinking about Kobe, Shaq, Duncan, and Steve Nash as true candidates for MVP, but when at the end of the season Lebron James will shine as the brightest star in the league, proving his significant value to the Cavailers. Without him Cleveland doesn't stand a chance of entering the playoffs. Lebron averages 31.2 ppg while working toward obtaining triple-doubles. The great thing about this superstar is he's not selfish. He likes to get his teammates involved and feed off their strengths. I said it from the start, Lebron James is the real deal.

The Cavailers are second (26-17) in the Central division, trailing the Pistons by 12 games. They can credit their first half success to Lebron. With him and Big Z leading the way the Cavs will be a force to compete with in the Eastern Conference coming down the stretch. If a healthy Larry Hughes returns from injury it could give the team an extra edge. Keep up the sterling performances King James. Go Cavs!
