Saturday flashback: LeBron James’ first game in NBA

Last week, we offered ESPN’s broadcast of LeBron James in high school. Today, we’ll look at its broadcast of his first pro game.

I was going to save this for later in the playoffs, but given the way the Indy series is going, I wanted to post this while he’s still playing.

The open, with Brad Nessler, Sean Elliott and Dan Majerle, is featured here. Then amazingly, the game is joined in progress as the Knicks game went long. Can you imagine that happening today?

As a result, ESPN had to show highlights of James’ 10-point first quarter against Sacramento.
