LeBron James called "Queen James" on Twitter (Cavs 85 Celtics 94)

The Cleveland Cavaliers, who had the best regular season record in the National Basketball Association, had the door to a possible NBA Championship rudely shut on them Thursday night. They lost to the Boston Celtics 85 to 94 and at times the game wasn't even that close.

The Cleveland Cavaliers star player LeBron James had a better cast around him this year with Shaq O'Neill, Antawn Jamison, and others. It looked like, even with their injuries, it was going to be the Cavs year. It wasn't. The end wasn't the look of resignation on the faces of the Cleveland Cavaliers before the game was over. It wasn't the press conference afterward. It was Twitter, where so many people used the term "Queen James" it became a trending topic.

LeBron James is "King James" no more. Even though he scored a triple-double, and the Boston Celtics fans chanted "New York Knicks, New York Knicks" the bloom was off the rose that he was. Queen James is a nickname that's stuck to The Golden Child and will eventually replace that name too.

LeBron James is not the kind of person who can just take over a game the way Michael Jordan could in his prime or Kobe Bryant can today. Kobe Bryant is playing the best overall basketball and stands poised to earn his second consecutive NBA ring and fifth overall.

Queen James is not Kobe Bryant. It's not enough to rack up stats and regular season wins, a super player has to have that extra gear he or she goes into regardless of sport. If James has that gear, we haven't seen it yet.

Blogging this about one that this blogger has rooted for and hoped this was his year, just plain hurts. But now some ugly truths have to be faced: regardless of where LeBron James goes he will now be considered a "bit" player who needs to have "pieces" around him and they have to be very good.

A great player makes everyone around that person better. Jordan did it. Brandi Chastain did it in Soccer. Michael Jordan did it in the NBA. Kobe Bryant's doing it now.

Queen James it is, until LeBron proves he's King.
