It’s rare LeBron James does something poorly on a basketball court. He is a 6’8, 250-pound cyborg sent to Earth to embarrass defenders and destroy rims.
LeBron James botches 2 dunks like the Monstars stole his basketball powers or something
He tried to argue he was fouled. He was not.
On Thursday, however, the rims fought back.
If you had never seen LeBron James play basketball before Thursday and based your opinion of him on only these two dunk attempts, you might wonder what this guy was doing in the league. You’d also be very misinformed, but that’s a different story.
First, LeBron did this.
Now, after this play, LeBron argued vehemently that he was fouled. But he was not. There was absolutely no contact from the defender. James just simply missed this dunk.
OK, but he’s LeBron James. Certainly that was just a one-time thing. It happens to anyone. Well, fast forward a quarter in the game and the rim was still getting the better of LeBron.
Again no contact from a defender. No he wasn’t fouled. That’s just back rim.
It’s almost like playing 38 minutes per game in his 14th NBA season is taking a toll on his legs or something.
The good news for Cavs fans is LeBron is still a 6’8, 250-pound cyborg sent to Earth to embarrass defenses and destroy rims. The rims just fight back sometimes.
