Reminder: LeBron James Plays Basketball In The Matrix
For all the shit everyone rightfully gives LeBron for some of the stuff he does, says, and doesn’t say, it’s always nice to get a reminder of just how insanely good he is. A human MonStar if you may. And this highlight is just another example of that. He’s so good he can even make Tristan Thompson useful. Granted he was just using Thompson’s big ass body as a nutmegged distraction to offset another freak in Joel Embiid. But still, that play just leaves you in awe. I am on an airplane right now and I yelped when I saw this like a little puppy trying to bark. Can you imagine how ridiculous someone my size looks when they yelp? But that’s what LeBronnnnn Jaaaaames does to people. If this was almost any other player, I’d say it was luck. But LeBron sees the basketball court the same way Neo sees The Matrix or PFT sees Hitler jokes.
It’s just too bad LeBron gives us shit like Zero Dark Thirty 23 and a different subtweet at a teammate every other week to make us roll our eyes. Because when our eyes aren’t rolling through the back of our heads, he is fun as fuck to watch and has been since the millisecond he entered the league. I just hope this wasn’t LeBron putting on an audition for joining the Sixers next year. I need the world to autocorrect back to normal and for Philly to stop drowning in Ws ASAP.
