Even By LeBron James' Standards, This Move Was Mind-Blowing
He couldn’t have pulled this off better in a video game.
LeBron James’ slick scoring move Thursday added another amazing highlight to his formidable reel.
He basically dribbled the ball around his back and through the legs of Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Tristan Thompson en route to a left-handed layup.

Even James himself tweeted about the bucket.
🤷🏾♂️ The young generation would say I was in my bag and haters will say it’s fake. https://t.co/hCXa7OctWR

The visiting Philadelphia 76ers prevailed, 108-97, but James’ moment won the Internet. Some commented that at least part of the maneuver might have been unintentional, but let’s just enjoy it anyway.
