MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio -- I was sitting in courtside seats during much of this year's playoff season. Needless to say, it was a glorified, rarefied experience. The thrill of being that close to LeBron James -- as little as five feet!! -- never wore off, but it did humanize him.
Aren't we all given to scripting other people's lives and experiences? In my mind, according to the narrative I projected on him, he was nearly flawless. Indestructible! Beyond reproach.
What I saw was my idea of a superhero -- who plays that many minutes in every single game?
