Shaq-LeBron: XL

Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Charlotte Bobcats 92-87 in their first 2009 NBA Preseason game. Never mind who win the game and the fact that no Cavs’ baller plays more than 16 minutes – The highlight is on LeBron – Shaq combo.

It turned out that LeBron and Shaq play well together as a team – something that is well needed to push the Cavs for 2010 NBA Finals spot.

LeBron James put up a 15 points, 2 steals and 1 assist in 16 minutes while Shaquille O’Neal scored 6, along with 3 boards and 1 block. Shaq send the message early to all of Cavs’ opponents – He drives to the hoop, overpowering the Bobcats’ Point Guard D.J. Augustin for an offensive foul – Luckily, D.J. can stand up before the ref. counted to 10.

Here is some action from the preseason game:

Cavs are surely the one to watch – Beware, Orlando Magic!
