Hugged him like white on rice and when Dirk spun around for his trademark fadeaway jumper, there was a hand 2 inches from his face.
It was really beautiful defense. Lebron is picking it up in the steals department; in the first 13 games of the season, he had 11 total steals, .9 per game, including 5 games in which he didn't have any steals at all. In the last 17 games, he has 37 steals, 2.2 per game.
