LeBron James and Kevin Love have teamed up on full-court passes to tomahawk dunk sequences more times than most can count. So this signature, fading overhead pass to a streaking James should have been the most iconic outlet pass of Love’s career.
LeBron James ruined the best Kevin Love pass ever
Close but no cigar.
Not so fast.
Here’s another angle, slowed down for your viewing pleasure:
James cocked back as far as possible and blew the tomahawk jam right off the rim, into the air, and into Avery Bradley’s arms during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Game 4 matchup against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. It was the worst possible outcome of a picture-perfect heave from Love that normally ends in two points.
Maybe next time, guys.
