Twitter in awe of LeBron's Game 7 greatness
Once again, LeBron James was transcendent when he had to be, finishing with 35 points, 15 rebounds, nine assists, and two blocks as his Cleveland Cavaliers eliminated the Boston Celtics in Game 7.
And once again, Twitter lost its collective mind.
Needless to say, many of LeBron's contemporaries appreciated his Herculean effort:

Pundits have written off this Cavaliers squad at every stage of the playoffs, so just imagine what will happen if LeBron does the unthinkable and actually carries this team to a championship.
Perhaps Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell said it best:
Bron the best basketball player to ever touch that orange round thing that goes in the rim
