Basketball Twitter Loses Its Mind Over ‘CRAZY’ LeBron James Play: ‘HOW???????’
It cannot be said often or emphatically enough: LeBron James is really, really good at basketball.
The latest proof, as if more were needed, came Thursday night in Cleveland — where James and the rest of the Cavaliers played the Philadelphia Sixers. Midway through the first quarter, James pulled off an absolutely incredible remove. He split two Sixers defenders, while simultaneously dribbling through the legs of his own teammate — Tristan Thompson. He then picked up the ball and drove to the hoop for a layup.
Basketball Twitter lost its collective mind. Here’s a sampling of the reaction, including from James himself.
