LeBron James called Tyus Jones ‘Tyler,’ so he responded by dunking on him

The Timberwolves guard dunked on him so he won’t forget his name again.

LeBron James is straight-up disrespectful. .

Earlier today during a Cavaliers’ shootaround, LeBron James forgot Tyus Jones’ name. He called him “Tyler.”

Then, he sent his shot flying into Lake Winnibigoshish. No, I don’t know how to pronounce that — but it is, in fact, the very location of this ball.

It went flying out of the arena during in this exact moment.

That’s extremely mean of James to do, but as the best player in the NBA it’s what he does. He picks on players every night, but poor Tyus Jones didn’t ask for any of this. He just wanted to play ball.

But after tonight, no more shade shall be thrown in Jones’ direction.

Jones remembered the pain he suffered when James sent his shot into that aforementioned lake. With that pain, he summoned up the energy to yam the ball with James right on his back.

TUH. Ain’t no more games with Jones for LeBron. We don’t shoot floaters anymore — we’re dunking now.

Good on Jones for showing James up one time for the one time. He may never do it again in his career, but all you really need is one moment against The King. Plus, the Timberwolves are currently beating the Cavaliers by 30 points at halftime, so it looks like Jones will get the last laugh.

From this day forward, in the words of the dubious Bryan “Birdman” Williams, LeBron will put some RESPECK on Jones’ name.
