Who can challenge the Warriors? Let the LeBron James sweepstakes begin
As it turns out, LeBron James is not indestructible — as long as he does the damage himself. In his frustration over the Warriors’ Game 1 escape against the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena, James punched a whiteboard in the visitors’ locker room and fractured a bone in his right hand.
Call it a symbolic if painful gesture. James spoke for the entire NBA with that temper tantrum.
Who’s going to challenge the Warriors next season? It’s a question that will pervade every conversation among coaches, executives and free agents this summer, with everyone waiting on the great James. So many options lay in front of him, including staying home in Cleveland.
