CLEVELAND, Ohio - The ghost LeBron James is chasing might be uncatchable and unbustable.
Michael Jordan went to six NBA Finals, won six rings and six Finals Most Valuable Player awards, while sandwiching it all around a premature retirement.
James is seeking his seventh straight trip to the NBA Finals with the defending champion (as of the moment) Cleveland Cavaliers. James has been in seven NBA Finals overall, three with the Cavs and four with Miami. His record is 3-4.
The ghost is Jordan's reputation as a man with a ravenous hunger for victory. It came shrieking to life Sunday night, perhaps angered by the growing chorus proclaiming the bigger, stronger James to be at least his equal.
