And we thought the Chicago Bulls last Wednesday breaking the Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak, the second longest in NBA history, was the big news.

Sort of, but not completely as LeBron James seemed to transcend it all, which may also tell you how big James has become. He is the face of the NBA, like him or not.

So, yes, the Heat had been hot, first James breaking some sort of odd statistical mark with six straight games averaging more than 30 points while shooting at least 60 percent and presumably also wearing yellow socks. That's why I knew computers were a mistake. But I digress.
