    Remember this team ... (we also got him back for the 22 win streak team, but traded him 7 games into the streak)

    Remember this game and remember when @Rockets2K made these highlight vids

    This is Game 6 of Mavs series in 2004-05... on 05/05/05. James scores 22 pts, second to TMac's huge 37 pt game. James action start around 2:10 mark, but watch the whole thing.

    also, INB4 this turns into a TMac bashing thread. Don't do it @tinman ... give the new "coach" some time to be welcomed. :D

    That highlight vid of the 05 series against the Mavs just makes me mad so I won't watch it but I'm happy to have Mike with the organization again. That team was definitely fun to watch.

    I was a big Mike James fan...he was 1 of the very few on that 05 squad that could actually score and do something off the dribble

    Mike James? I was expecting this to be a bump from 2009. I bet he's better than Bobby brown

    Cool... I always liked Mike James...

    I remember chasing down JVG at the Las Vegas summer league asking if there was any word on us getting him signed as a fa - after we had traded him the previous year... lol

    Dude had a hell of season in Toronto and won the most improved player of the year I think. Contact year does wonders
