Video: LeBron James' latest trick shot


Update: The video has been removed. To see the shot, head to the 19-second mark of this clip.

Sick shot. But what's more impressive is that LeBron called it perfectly. "Taking off my Nike shirt, grabbing some scissors, turning my track pants into manpris, making sure the camera's red light is on, off the fingertips, over the backboard — nothing but net." Good night.

    You're right, cause teamwork isn't part of Kobe's basketball IQ!

    #4 is a moron. Talking out your ass doesn't make you seem like much more than the garbage the lakers produced in three of their seven games

    IMO anyone who says LeBron is better than Kobe or that Kobe is better than LeBron is out of their mind. Kobe is a great playmaker and passer, LeBron is a great scorer and finisher, and vice versa. What's the deal with picking sides on this one? Anything you love about LeBron you should love about Kobe...cus they both kick so much ass. The question to me is who else is at their level? At this point no one is, but D-Wade is the closest.

    #14, I don't dislike Kobe, I dislike his hype. Kobe is just way overrated. Kobe is better than majority of the current basketball players, but had Joe Johnson and Kobe switched places, I guarantee you Joe Johnson would be hailed as the next Michael Jordan. ESPN is a LA-hype machine. ESPN has also positioned themselves as so that if you don't agree with them, you must be stupid. That's why people hate Kobe - I hate ESPN. People also hate Kobe because he's a rapist, which if you actually read the police interview, Kobe obviously did. How fortunate that Kobe's lawyers had the interview thrown out and how fortunate that Kobe's lawyers argued to invalid the victim's right and enable them to paint the victim as a whore.

    I cant speak for everyone here butt for me I pick sides cuz I HATE LA!! I can reconize that Kobe is a great player but I hate him bcuz hes a Laker. If he would have stayed in Charlotte when he got drafted I'd probably love him but that purple and gold to me is like a bull seeing red. Even though I hate LA, I totally feel he is the reason Shaq left. Becuz of Kobes bigger than life ego he had developed, he broke up one of the best teams ever. Mix in the cheating on his wife and all the comparisions to Jordan(which he'll NEVER be anything like Jordan), I cant stand the guy.
    LeBron, first of all, wears the 23 jersey. Best number in all of sports. His whole story, growing up in Cleveland, going to school there and playing for the home town team! He's put that team & city back on the map. The ultimate team player. The guy damn near averages a triple double!!! Mix in the size, speed, IQ(#4 is a moron), hes only 24!! Lets not forget LeBron hasnt had the "pleasure" of having Shaq or Phil Jackson on his team either. He makes other players better.
    Thats why I choose sides.
    Go Cavs!!!

    Yes blame ESPN for hyping Kobe. They NEVER did that with lebron. That guy rarely gets attention. Ohh ya except he gets a video made of him everytime he hits a half court shot in practice or this dumb video. You guys are so hypocritical. Most of the things you hate kobe for lebron is guilty of himself, and then you turn around and call Lakers fans idiots. Theyre both very very good. Get over it. Lol-ing like little girls everytime someone says something unfunny about kobe. "Ohh #5 youre so funny" "Lol so true #8" Like kd said in his brian grant posts. This was a great year for on the court basketball. Enjoy it while it lasts.

    ok yes that was an amazing shot i dont have a preference on the kobe lebron battle yes you can say lebron is a better teamate btu thats cause he has great role players they all know their job and yes the lakers are overrated because they havent learned how to play as a team yet kobe is still great but has leveled off in the past to years the only two that are on the rise is d-wade and lebron you have to look at d0wade and say he is amazing i mean 6-4 and averaged more blocks than lebron and kobe i dont compar lebron to jordan because its not a fair compromise i belive lebron reminds me alot of magic johnson and the person that reminds me the most of jordan is d-wade just by the way he carries himself on the basketball court and how smooth he is out there now granted lebron is a great passer and it does help to be 6' 8' but wade is 6 3 so if i had a dream match it would prolly be a bigger taller d wade against a and evenly big and tall lebron that would be someting special to watch but all three are great players and i dont think it is fair to criticize one or the other because one does someting better
