Damn. (And a Gripe.)

This clip, from LBJ’s 55-point eruption last week against Milwaukee, will melt your face. We all know that LeBron was created by the basketball gods to obliterate the ceiling of hoops greatness. But come on. It just isn’t fair that he can do that.  Iif he starts making threes with regularity, he will become completely unguardable.

But also?

What is a dude who came into the game shooting 26% from three doing taking 26-foot pull-up jumpers in transition? They’re just not smart basketball plays. What the hell, mayne? If he’s anyone but LeBron, people call out this tomfoolery for what it is: stupid. 

The problem is he’s, well,  LeBron.  Which leads me back to my initial reaction: Damn.

    That dude is so serious.

  • What makes this more amazing is that the Bucks are playing him really well. Jefferson was draped all over him. It just didn’t matter.
