LeBron James ran over Kyrie Irving and completely forgot about the game to help his friend up

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

LeBron James grabbed the rebound, tried to push the ball up court, and then, in a moment, his world stopped.

Kyrie Irving found himself in LeBron’s way, and accidentally got steamrolled. How would most players resolve this? Well, they’d likely continue down the court and apologize at the next timeout or between plays.

Not LeBron, he went full #TeammateGoals mode and ignored the game entirely.

Jokes aside, this was a really cool moment. Of course, it helps when your team is up by 30 points in the third quarter so you have the luxury of being able to ignore the ball altogether.

So ends today’s chapter of “LeBron James: Ultimate teammate.”
