LeBron James with the nasty block on Jimmy Butler to save the game in overtime, JR smith calls the timeout with one second remaining. LeBron then hits the game winning shot over Butler
Every time I watch I am absolutely flabbergasted by the defense on the last shot. Genuinely baffling
Seriously! You have a guy guarding the in bounds from so far away he’s useless. Single coverage on Lebron because you have two people guarding guys beyond half court and a guy falls to the corner to guard a shooter instead of doubling LeBron on the catch. It’s terrible use of space and a terrible set-up given the time and game situation
They should have just fronted LeBron. Why are you letting him catch???
That’s just Timberwolves basketball baby!
It’s just theatre, no need to be appalled.
I was told Lebron is not clutch
People still say that?
Yeah. For plays like this they like to say “he only took the shot because it was a tied game. He’d have made someone else shoot if they were down”
He is not if you ignore the hours of clutch footage available, and just believe in what the Skip Baylesses of the Internet say.
2018 LeBron is something else man
I’m surprised JR smith didn’t dribble out the clock
He was definitely thinking about a heave there haha
He knew the time beforehand this time.
seriously, he could have called timeout at least 1.5s before he actually did
Nah. Caught it with 2.7 left, turned to the ref to call timeout with 1.7. Took until 1.0 for the ref & timekeeper to call it and stop the clock.
Took one second flat to turn upcourt, get ready to heave it if need be, look at the game clock and realize he had time to call the timeout, and call it. Exactly what he should’ve done
No killer instinct
Kobe woulda stabbed Jimmy there
mamba mentality
Teague always there
Absolutely incredible inbound defense from the Wolves. Have three players pushed up past half-court in a tie game and still leave the other team’s best player wide open inside the arc to catch the ball anyways in a routine spot.
2018 bron gotta be a top 3 season all time
One of the worst jerseys I’ve ever seen in my life. Can’t believe they made my glorious king wear that bullshit
Ahh yes LeFather Time or Hour Glass Hair Lebron what a demon he was
LeNastyFuckingBlock
LEBRON OVER ME!?
Yes Jimmy. Yes
Oh but Bron is not a good defender blah blah.
Famously great late-game-decision maker JR Smith with the dribble so the Cavs can’t advance the ball.
The lebron James isn’t clutch argument will never make sense to me.
This dude has insane defensive and offensive highlights on game winning plays
He’s arguably the clutchest player off all time he has the most clutch shots in league history. People just hate on him for no reason.
I know Jimmy considers LeBron his greatest rival. In my head I think LeBron respects Jimmy.
Guy who supposedly had no killer instinct
Then bro did the same thing in the playoffs that year
look at that average defender. LeBron with another clutch defense
I haven’t seen this in ages, but the last possession Jimmy appears to be fouled. The defender has his hand on Jimmy’s hip during that layup attempt. I know refs don’t want to call the games, but this one could have been a foul. Though, I’m glad that they didn’t call it, because we got this LeBron game winner.
Jeff Teague spotted
Enjoy him while he’s still playing. It’ll be different without a goat anywhere in the league.
What’s up with all those LeBron highlights here lately ? Did he died ?
Worse, he’s in Philly
Gonna get hit by stray snowballs when they pelt Santa on Christmas
No fate more worse than that.
