LeBron James has been sensational Thursday in Game 6 between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. After three quarters, he has 41 points on 17-for-22 shooting, and his team is up 74-61 with just 12 minutes to play. He lost his cool for a moment late in the period, however, earning a technical after slamming the ball on the floor following a Rajon Rondo steal and layup.

You could argue that James didn't deserve such a stiff penalty. Jeff Van Gundy did on ESPN. Either way, the play was indicative of the nastiness James has been playing with throughout the game. He has been scoring every which way, and scowling more often than he should if he hopes to avoid wrinkles later in life.
