LeBron's Likability On The Rise?

I don't know about you, but this little feelgood moment from the weekend certainly notched him up in my book.

I also said that simply winning the title, was going to get 'Bron over the hump with the skeptical basketball public.

Is LeBron suddenly a "great guy" or my "favorite player ever?"

Hardly.

But this was not phony enthusiasm. Look at that picture above.

That's simple joy.

Joy in the moment, of a fat guy computer technician, hitting an incredible - and perfect - half court bomb, for 75 large.

It makes sports fun again, amid all the nonsense. And it makes King James just a little bit more like the people's champ.
