There are just no words
By now, we’ve all experienced that “witness” moment. A “witness” moment is when you realize, whether you love or hate LeBron James and/or the Cleveland Cavaliers, that King James is the most ridiculous basketball player on the planet, and probably the most freakish athlete in the game–all due respect to Russell Westbrook.
If you’ve yet to have your “witness” moment, have it now. Watch the above Vine clip, in which LeBron James–preparing to face-off with the Celtics in Boston in Game 2 of their opening round series–picks up a basketball, palms it as if he’s in the MLB and not the NBA, and effortlessly tosses it the full-length of the court at TD Garden. Nothing but net.
Before the ball swishes through the nylon, you can hear James demand, “give me my money,” which sounds like he and some of his teammates had a little friendly wager going on. They probably thought their money was safe, given the degree of difficulty.
They were sadly mistaken.
UPDATE: Dwight Howard couldn’t just sit back and let LeBron have all the fun. Check out his underhanded response below.
