LeBron James likes the way Leo Messi passes in crunch time

Just two guys who love to pass.

LeBron James is a fan of all sports. He doesn’t always watch them all, but he’s HEARD some stuff. On Tuesday he heard about Lionel Messi, and he’s really quite fond of the way he finds a teammate when the game is on the line.

It really is impressive that when there’s a clutch situation that instead of trying to take the glory himself Messi is willing to find another guy. It’s all about the team after all, so why would anyone continually try to be “the guy” when there are other players who can fill that role? Sometimes you just need to trust the rest of the roster.

Here’s to you, LeBron and Leo: The passing bros
