There is no basketball game on Friday night, which means you can take some time to read about what’s going on around the league, from LeBron James’ epic performance, David Stern’s thoughts on the draft lottery, Indiana’s next move, and much more. Did you see how many shots LeBron James missed in Game 6? You can see every single one of them in this video. Really, though, was James’ performance on Thursday night the best he has ever put on? Statistically, no.
So much has been made of the trials and tribulations of LeBron James over the course of these NBA playoffs, which is to be expected. When you flame out the way James flamed out in the NBA Finals last June, you are going to be under a microscope — or a Hubble telescope as columnist Tom D’Angelo wrote in this Game 6 column.

So much has been written about the Oklahoma City Thunder throughout these NBA playoffs that it’s difficult to find any new nuggets of information about the team and its city that aren’t already in cyberspace. But I’m going to give it a shot.

Whatever the reason, we missed a week of The Bernucca List, and we apologize. Reader Technologic provided the right answer for last week’s list, which was “The last 10 players to lead their team in scoring in a road Game 7 win.” Congratulations, Technologic. Can we call you Techno for short? Onto this week’s list,
During LeBron James’ incredible performance in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals (Boxscore here), a few things of note happened with the fans of the Celtics. Lets have a gander, shall we? (via youtube user NBAClipz) Much was made of the fact that a fan dared to throw the ball at the head of an unsuspecting Dwyane Wade.

BOSTON _ Heat forward Shane Battier marvels at the daily scrutiny his teammate LeBron James endures in his everyday life.
