NEW YORK -- LeBron James was flanked by three team security personnel, escorting him off the court in Detroit when he was ejected for just the second time of his 19-year career on Sunday.
Not long after he had another visitor from the team: Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony left the bench to check on James before returning to his teammates to deliver a message: If there was any time for the Lakers to start looking like the team they all believed they are destined to become, no better time than the present.
