But this time, Eddie Curry impressed him greatly.
When James ferociously leaped up and charged straight for the basket, Eddie Curry didn't back down one bit. He jumped brazenly, using his thick, strong body to block James.

The ball slammed hard against the backboard and ricocheted away.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
