MVP candidate and the NBA's leading player, LeBron James, scored  50 points last night at Madison Square Garden in a 119-105 win over the Knicks.  The Knicks trailed 99-98 when James went on a tear in the final 3:51, hitting four three-pointers.  His 50th point came with 1:04 left in the game.  James made 16 of 30 shots, including 7 of 13 threes, and 11 of 16 from the line, along with 10 assists and 4 steals. It was his fifth 50-point game and his second this year.  He received a standing ovation for his efforts and said it was a great honor to get one in the greatest basketball arena in the world.

Even though it was LeBron's time to shine, the spotlights still seemed to be on Stephon Marbury.  Lebron James reportedly feels that Marbury constantly puts himself in front of the team, which is extremely disheartening for the Knicks.  The team doesn't foresee the situation with Marbury getting better any time soon either.
