*Requested by MrBodybag1* Minutes after guiding his team to victory, LeBron James walked across the court to the front row to share a few words with Muhammad Ali. A convincing win and a moment with "The Greatest"? Now that's a stocking stuffer. James and Chris Bosh carried Miami with fellow star Dwyane Wade in street clothes, and the Heat ran over the Phoenix Suns 95-83 on Thursday night to set up a Christmas Day showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers. "I have [met him before], but it feels like the first time every time you meet him," James said of his chat with Ali. "He's by far one of the top two athletes in the world." James isn't too bad himself. The two-time league MVP raised eyebrows before the game, saying it might not be such a bad thing if the "watered down" NBA were to contract. On the court, he set the tone early with Wade nursing a sore knee and showcased his usual fly-through-the-air flair, earning oohs and aahs from the star-studded crowd when it wasn't booing him. James finished with 36 points on 13-of-22 shooting, grabbed six rebounds and had four assists to go with three steals.
