Miami Heat's LeBron James on Game 6: 'I Was Aggressive Since the Initial Tip'

LeBron had a huge game 6 on Thursday night in a 98-79 win against the Celtics.

His stellar performance and his tallying up of 45 points and 15 rebounds helped the Heat not only push elimination away, but also boost the Heats' confidence, make the Celtics look old and sloppy, silence critics who were losing faith in his game...and the list continues.

The best way to describe his game 6 performance, however, is to simply put it the way LeBron put it: "I felt I was aggressive since the initial tip."

Yes he was. LeBron was not only aggressive, he was unstoppable. Slicing through his opponents to get one hand jams, pulling off impossible fade-away jumpers, and missing only five shots out of 26 field goal attempts, LeBron arguably had the best game of his career.

When asked if this game was indeed his best playoff performance during the post-game press conference, LeBron responded, "I don't know. I haven't watched film or anything like that. I just tried to make plays for my team throughout the whole game. As long as I was on the court, I wanted to make plays, offensively and defensively and give us a chance to win."

James was also asked if it was required for him to play with the same level and intensity in game 7 and if he could do it again. James firmly vowed the following:

"I don't know. I will try to play aggressively and in a high level. I'm going to go out there and play my game and play as hard as I can. No matter if we lose or draw, I won't regret game 7."

Dwayne Wade had 17 points while Chris Bosh added 7 points and had his play time extended to 28 minutes.

Celtic's Rajon Rondo ended the night with 21 points and 10 assists while Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett collectively tallied 31 for Boston.

"Now we get to play for all the marbles. This team has not done it the easy way this year. Maybe this is justified for us, go in there and do it," said Doc Rivers at the end of the game.

Game 7 will be played Saturday, June 9 at Miami. Tip-off is at 8:30 p.m. ET.
