LeBron James doesn’t seem ready to lose his first series to a Eastern Conference opponent since 2010. In Game 3 against the Boston Celtics on Saturday, facing a two games to zero deficit in the Eastern Conference finals, James brought his team out to a quick start and took a 20-point lead into halftime.
This LeBron James reverse dunk was totally unnecessary and totally great
So much for Marcus Morris, LeBron stopper.
The exclamation point on that whole half was this James dunk, which was both totally unnecessary but also completely necessary. Thank you, James. Thank you.
That’s a legitimate rock-the-cradle reverse dunk right there, with James basically swinging it out in a windmill motion before hammering it down behind his head. These are the moments where we get mad that James never appeared in a dunk contest, because if he can do this in a high stakes playoff game, imagine what he could do in that setting a decade ago when his legs were even fresher.
One more look:
James: he’s good at this, folks.
