Lebron James had that Last Dragon glow last night when he dropped 61 points against the Bobcats. And while most were impressed by the performance, Dominique Wilkins…not so much.
The Hall of Famer questioned the effort of the sub-500 Bobcats’ defense, as well as why Al Jefferson’s 38/19 stat line wasn’t being lauded.
No denying he put on a shooting display. He was hot. Let's not forget, he was playing the Bobcats. A sub 500 team w a match up nightmare.

Where is the Defense? The Bobcats put up 107 points in a defenseless display of basketball. Offensively who was there to make Bron work on D

Why are we not talking about Al Jefferson and the MONSTER night he had 38 and 19! Yes, like I said, Bron got hot & put on a shooting clinic.

Watch the film. No close outs on D, doubles were late, rotations were slow. It was too easy to score. At 54 y/o I could drop 40 on that D

Bron is a freakish athlete, yes, no doubt. I could say I was too in my prime, but averaging 30 then against the greats like Bird, MJ, King

AND having to guard them on the other side was an all out war. You were dogged by halftime and had to pick it up & do it again the 2nd half

Let me be clear again, amazing shooting display, he was on fire and VERY efficient. My point is the Cats didn't work him on the other end.
