"Maybe there is something to this "I'm a new man" thing LeBron James has been touting since before the season started.A cynic would say — and who around LeBron James isn't a cynic these days — that it was merely a convenient excuse for LeBron to say he was approaching the game incorrectly, and it's what caused him to fail in the most crucial of moments.What does it matter if you're happy or stressed when you have got Jason Kidd on your back and you still decide to shoot a step-back jumper rather than take advantage of your size? Basketball instincts should take over there, anyway. And even his own head coach constantly complimented his team for being able to compartmentalize all of their issues and focus on basketball when necessary. It would seem, then, that the whole "I'm back to my old self" routine was just a theme for this season that helps LeBron deal with the frustration of last season.But then Saturday happened. That's when LeBron popped the question to his high school sweetheart and the mother of his two children, Savannah Brinson. It's safe to say he wouldn't decide to tie the knot after about a decade with Brinson if he wasn't in a good place."
