James is a spectacle. At any moment of any game there is a chance—a very viable one—that he is going to do something amazing, something you’ve never seen before, and probably never will again.

The logic behind this lies in a few major facts: Boston will not be the same next year; either they'll be a year older, or they are going to blow it up and start rebuilding around Rondo and Perkins.  Cleveland, ...
