LeBron: Full Service Department Store

As if 33 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists don’t say enough, take it from Jazz forward CJ Miles — LeBron James is in a class by himself.

Following the Cavs’ 102-97 win over the Jazz at ESA, Saturday, Miles summed up James’ abilities thusly: “His size, his speed, everything he does at his size, I don’t think anybody’s been like that. Nobody with guard skills is as athletic as him at that size. There are guys that are athletic at that size, but they don’t have the ball skills and the speed and the ability to get up and down the floor. He could well be the fastest guy with the ball.”

You know that training phrase “bigger, faster, stronger?”

He is.

If new Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins seems familiar to Utahns, he should.

He’s been here, done that.

Hollins starred at Dixie College (now Dixie State) in 1971-73, where he was a NJCAA All-America. He led the Rebels to the junior college national tournament before moving on to play at Arizona State.
