On Thursday, LeBron James bent people’s minds and the laws of nature when he uncorked a brilliant move that only players like LeBron James have the ability to pull off. Sandwiched between two Philadelphia 76ers defenders in Joel Embiid and Robert Covington, James pulled his dribble and went behind his back.
Sure, even Dwight Howard can do that, but not even Dwight Howard after five years of rigorous dribbling training could even think of doing what James did next, as the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar managed to throw the ball between Cavs big man Tristan Thompson’s legs to get away from the Sixers’ trapping defense.
Whether it was a pure stroke of luck or that LeBron James truly intended to do that is now a hot topic because apparently, all this society needs to debate on even the most trivial of stuff is the internet.
Even LeBron James chimed in on the conversation by going to Twitter and reacting to his own masterpiece.
Anyone who is on social media is most likely aware that no matter what James does, even if he discovered a cure for cancer, there will always be folks who’ll find a way to criticize him, so James having people still doubt him even after he just gift-wrapped the world with an insane highlight should not really come as a surprise.
What’s undeniable, however, is that James is having a spectacular season in which he is averaging close to a triple-double stat line of 26.7 points, 9.0 assists, and 8.4 rebounds per game.
Watch the play again below.
