With the rotation around him severely depleted, LeBron James is gunning for buckets more than usual -- and hitting them more than anyone in Finals history. The star doing a little less sharing and a little more sniping reminds a lot of us -- including Sam, my friend from work! -- of someone else, and that someone else LOVES it:

— Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) June 10, 2015 Hard to argue with this point. LeBron could try to match the high-volume Warriors (or at least that’s how they’re supposed to play) by doing his darndest to set second-stringers up for big shots ... or he could just #letitfly himself. The more Kobe-esque strategy has certainly worked so far, and I picture the Mamba wearing a robe, cloaked in darkness, nodding wisely as he tweets his approval.
