All right, I know, it's bee a while since my last post. The end of one year and the start of another found us traveling here and there and everywhere. When we finally set foot back in Virginia, we slept. I would go to bed early and still crave a nap the next day no matter what. Thankfully, I am caught up on sleep now.

The long blog break calls for something special, and I think I have just the thing — LeBron. Yep, the MVP, South Beach talent that's been bringing championships to the Heatles.

Last weekend, last minute, we decided to drive down to Charlotte to see the Heat play the Bobcats. We didn't buy our tickets until after the Friday night game because we wanted to make sure LeBron wasn't hurt and would be hitting the court. Another bonus, Mario Chalmers — you know that miraculous Jayhawk — also was healthy for the game. D. Wade, we didn't get so lucky. That night was just another one of his resting nights. Regardless, the game didn't disappoint.

The most exciting part of the game was the back-to-back dunks by LeBron. It's blurry, but still awesome. He even made the NBA Top 10 with them, alongside some other impressive plays from this game. Made it worth the money.

Lucky us, this game went into overtime for additional excitement.

The spilt crowd made the cheering entertaining in and of itself. You could hear that hard "t" in heat every time they stole the "Let's Go Bobcats" cheer. In the same vein, you either had cheers or boos every time LeBron made a move.

Final score: Heat 104, Bobcats 96
