Steve Cohen, with a clear view of the Wall Street data, also felt extremely anxious.
As the records fluctuated, the Cleveland Cavaliers officially overtook the Pacers by the end of the month, becoming number one in the Eastern Conference.
At that moment, the entire city of Cleveland erupted in celebration, as though they had won the whole world.
It was at this same time that LeBron's Team and the Cleveland media began to drum up support for LeBron James to win his first regular season MVP trophy.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles media were also going crazy, rallying support for Kobe to win his second regular season MVP.
Up to this point in the season, the Lakers had lost only five games, and they appeared very likely to achieve another 70-win season.
The rallying cry in Los Angeles was, "A player like Kobe Bryant, with only one regular season MVP trophy, is simply unacceptable! Especially since the Lakers have dominated as the Western number one for four consecutive years."
