Some say the lure of LeBron James as an NBA legend started during Game 5 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals. After you watch that game against the Detroit Pistons, it's hard to argue with.   The Pistons were the class of the conference at the time, having reached the conference finals for the 5th year in a row and were a daunting hurdle facing the young superstar.    After a hard fought split in the first four games of the series, all eyes turned to the Palace at Auburn Hills for a must have Game 5.    Join us as we go back and watch this game from 2007. On this episode we discuss:   - LeBron's underwhelming supporting cast - A great Pistons team in early 2000s - The lack of scoring in the league at the time - TMobile Fave 5 - LeBron's coming out party - Marv, Kerr, Collins, Sager are awesome - The pressure on LeBron heading into this game - Mike's story about Chris Paul at ESPN - What's happened to both teams since   We'll hit all this and more during this episode.
