The 39-year phenom has done it again. The
Cleveland Cavaliers visited the
Los Angeles Lakers in one of the four games scheduled in this NBA Saturday. The King, despite playing in his 20th season, still continues to amaze the world with his insane conditioning.
A crucial matchup for LeBron's Lakers intentions to escape from the play-in tournament and earn a direct trip to the upcoming playoffs. Sacramento and New Orleans are above LA in the standings, however, both teams have been looking shaky the last few games so the Lakers must continue winning to put more pressure on them in order to climb up on the playoffs ladder.
Here we can appreciate how
LeBron James continues to play his heart out on the court. The patented chase-down block has been one of James signature moves throughout his whole career, but of course it became way more popular after that huge block against Andre Iguodala in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.
Today,
Darius Garland was the victim. Cleveland's point guard runs the fastbreak at full speed leaving Reaves behind without even knowing that LeBron is chasing him. What Garland thought it was going to be an easy lay-up ended up blocked and sent to the crowd. Excellent hustle and better defense by the 4-time NBA Champion.
