Two days after Kobe Bryant set a Madison Square Garden record with 61 points against the Knicks, LeBron James went off for 52 points and a triple-double in the same building, reminding us all that, oh yeah, LeBron is also somewhat skilled at basketball.

James added 11 assists and 10 rebounds in the Cavs’ 107-102 win to become the first player since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975 to have a 50-point triple-double, and he joined Michael Jordan as the only player to have mutiple 50-point games in the present MSG.  (Of course, Jordan did it against Charles Oakley & Co…)

Also, in case you’re feeling particularly self-conscious about your lack of income, flabby midsection, or weak chin, LeBron is only 24 years old, a multimillionaire with a goal of making a billion dollars, and by all first-hand accounts a genuinely funny and charismatic person.  Oh yeah?  Well, I bet being 6-foot-8 sucks when he flies in coach!  What’s that?  He has his own plane?  Oh.
