When All-Star Meets Mr Basketball – New Zoom LeBron V PE »

Last week we profiled an unreleased sample version of the Nike Zoom LeBron V… courtesy of lacedheat. The thing about the ZLV was Nike released a relatively small number of PEs (Player Exclusives). We’ve been used to tons of colorways, samples and Special Make Ups, but LeBron James’ fifth signature shoe has leaked in only 36 different models thus far. Apart from General Releases, couple really nice Exclusives (Mr. B, Yankees) and “common” School PEs, only a couple of V’s really stand out – Home PE (both versions) and Hardwood Classic PE. Sure, it’s not like the Zoom LeBron V had the colorway potential comparable with The Six, but it seemed a little odd. Today, we are happy to discover yet another rare ZL5. We don’t know what was the story behind this model, but it seems like the Mr. Basketball has been mixed up with the All-Star edition. You can see Mr B’s lasered upper and ASG’s color scheme. Do you like the output?

LeBron Takes Control as Cavaliers Complete the Sweep on Pistons »

James had 36 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 99-78 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, sweeping the Eastern Conference first-round series. The 24-year-old superstar said his work ethic has been “everything” in a breathtaking career that has surpassed unprecedented hype. “You’re only born with a certain amount of gifts,” he said. “You have to take advantage of them, and put in the work. My work ethic has helped me be the player I am today.” James and the top-seeded Cavs were so efficient against past-its-prime Detroit — earning the only sweep of this postseason — they might be off for more than a week, waiting for Atlanta or Miami to advance. The Cavaliers became the only team to sweep their series in the first round and just the third team to sweep a team by winning each game by a double-digit margin (1980 Celtics and 2004 Pacers). LeBron James led the Cavaliers with 36 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists. He finished the series averaging 32.0 points, 11.3 rebounds and 7.5 assists, becoming just the third player in NBA history to average at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in a single postseason series (Larry Bird and Oscar Robertson are the others). James became just the second player in NBA history to accumulate at least 1,300 points, 400 rebounds and 350 assists in his first 50 career postseason games (Oscar Robertson was the other).
