When You're Hot, You're Hot

From ESPN: It's not the type of streak that LeBron James ever thought about, this run of putting together at least 30 points and 60 percent shooting in six straight games.
Still, it's something he'll savor. He's rolling right now, and so are the Miami Heat.
James scored 30 points on 11-of-15 shooting to get into the NBA record books, Chris Bosh scored 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Heat wound up beating the Portland Trail Blazers 117-104 in a wild, momentum-swinging game on Tuesday night.
It was the 1,000th regular-season win in Heat history. But on this night, the only history anyone will remember was what James accomplished.
"I'm at a loss for words," James said in a televised postgame interview. "Like I say over and over, I know the history of the game. I know how many unbelievable players who came through the ranks, who paved the way for me and my teammates. And for me to be in the record books by myself with such a stat -- any stat -- it's big-time."  http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=400278490In
In the last 6 games, James has hit 60 out of 80 shots.
I'm not a LeBron James by any stretch of the imagination, but this is a streak never seen before in professional basketball and he has accomplished something that Kareem, Oscar, Wilt, Bill and other fantastic players have never done.  Congratulations to James.
