LeBron Introduces the SVSM Six for St. Patrick’s Day »

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers don’t have any green-ish jerseys, King James decided to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on his own. Yesterday, in a matchup against the Orlando Magic, LeBron broke out the St. Vincent – St. Mary edition of his current signature sneakers – Nike Zoom LeBron VI. It was a very close game, but with Cleveland trailing 93-92 in a game soaked in postseason intensity, James, wearing green and white Nikes, pulled up in front of Orlando’s bench and coldly knocked down his 3. It may have said “Irish” on the back of his shoes – his high school’s nickname – but there was no luck involved. He finished with 43 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 steals. His Cleveland Cavaliers currently own the best record in the NBA and are 5 games ahead both Boston and Orlando in the loss column. Can you say MVP?
