No triple-double for LeBron in NY: NBA rescinds that 10th rebound

[Istealfrombums]

"NBA has announced LeBron James was mistakenly credited with one of Ben Wallace's rebounds."

Somehow this is breaking news on Yahoo Sports!

UPDATE: Here is the story: http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=3344

You're right, I'm looking at it too. While it's only one rebound, it really changes things- from a historical significance standpoint at least.

Serves his stat-padding rear right

****ing scrub that Lebron. How dare he fail at a triple double. Trade his overrated ass. Raptors will give you Jermaine O'Neal.

he did stat pad. It was obvious from his last rebound he got noticed how none of the cavs player even went for the rebound.

LeBron cares to much about stats he really does.

It was the better game before the rebound was taken back and it is the better game after as well.
Lebron had 8 more minutes to play. Give Kobe 8 more minutes and he was on pace for 75. In addition to that Kobe's 61 led to the lakers blowing the knicks out, while Lebron's 52 had the game going down to the wire.

Well no duh. One rebound can drastically change history. You think if the Shaq field goal that was blocked had gone into the hands of Bibby instead of Horry we'd be talking about "any SG + Shaq = 3 titles"? No. We'd be talking about "any SG + Shaq = titles in off years ala Duncan".

I strongly disagree. Any idiot will be able to tell you that a triple double highly transcends a 52-10-9 performance. It's not even close. Even Ricky Davis would be able to tell you that. Don't feign ignorance with us young man.

if this is true, it's extremely lame. it's been days since the triple double, you can't take it away now.

Not true, as the Lakers had already won two in a row ('00,'01) before that series against the Kings in '02.

Yet in 8 less minutes, Kobe managed to take more ft's and a few less shots.
