Get All the Way Out of Here With This Pass, LeBron

LeBron James fired a no-look between-the-legs bounce pass from the three-point line—while in transition.

I mean, just shut up already with your stupid basketball awareness and vision that you have somehow combined with the ability to make the things you see actually happen. There are so many things going on here, and they all went right. And that's before we even get to the between-the-legs part, which I don't even know if you meant to actually humiliate Andrew Wiggins like this, but I am in no position to doubt it so I must give you the benefit of the doubt.

Here's how it went down. LeBron got the rebound off some lesser chump's missed shot. He casually turned up court and began basically floating, moving quickly, but also like he was simply on a conveyer belt. He got to the top of the three-point arc, briefly looked at Kyle Korver to his left, and then whipped a no-look bounce pass to (the recently cut and now 10-day Cavaliers experiment) Derrick Williams at the baseline for what wound up being a three-point play. The bounce pass, when executed properly, is easily the prettiest play in basketball. When executed like this? It's a physical and emotional experience.

Wiggins had himself a night with 41 points, by the way. But he also got posterized from the three-point line, so, you know. The Cavs beat Minnesota 116-108.
