LeBron James' 46 points force a seventh game against Celtics: Bill Livingston (photos)

CLEVELAND, Ohio - No matter what the other Cleveland Cavaliers do, either at home or away, no matter what names they make or undo for themselves under the magnification of the NBA playoffs, there is one name everyone knows.

LeBron James.

He is bigger in Cleveland, because of the around-the clock news cycle and social media of today, than "Rapid" Robert Feller, Spoke (Tris Speaker) and Jim Brown. The latter is because James is bigger and faster than Brown thought about being a half-century ago.

The only exception is maybe James Cleveland "Jesse" Owens, at least to those mindful of history and the promotion of human dignity in the face of genocidal bigotry.
