just saw the post game clips of LeBron and i was really impressed.
the guy almost beat us by himself today to take his team to the ECF. and like Pierce said, he just wears you down when you try and guard him. he is a total beast on the court and maybe the toughest guard in the NBA.
on a side note, did anybody notice that moment going into the 4th Q (i think that is when it was) they showed Paul go up to LeBron and basically say to each other..."here we go..."
it was one of those great moments in sports...
Yep, winsomme, I caught that as well -- definitely a cool shot for the ABC cameras to nab. I liked it a lot -- kind of a "calm before the storm" type deal.

That was a pretty cool moment, and a good find by the ABC camera. These two have a history, from a hallway scuffle to spitting to a 50+ point showdown between the two of them. However they do respect each other and enjoy going against one another. This made this Game 7 duel that much more special.
As far as being classy, I would've liked LeBron to hang around and shake some hands after the loss. However his press conference was cool, as was Paul's. They both understand the history of the game and where this game, and their performances stand.
