LeBron James flexed his mighty muscles high above his Lakers black jersey, looking too strong to stop.
He had just scored while being fouled, finishing a three-point play that gave Los Angeles a one-point lead with 1:34 remaining. When the Lakers fell behind again, he put back his own missed shot to lift them right back on top with 58 seconds to go.
James was trying to do everything it took to knock out the Miami Heat and deliver the Lakers a championship, but he needed one more chance.
He couldn't get it.
James finished with 40 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists, but had to give up the ball and couldn't get it back on the Lakers' possession in the final seconds of a 111-108 loss on Friday night in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
