LA Lakers superstar LeBron James is doing all possible things to get the team on the winning track again. He scored an insane no-look finish against the Spurs. Let us have look at it.
Los Angeles Lakers are in deep trouble, even after forming a mega team with the addition of Russell Westbrook, Dwight Howard, and Carmelo Anthony. Westbrook is getting his scoring touch back but more than 1/3rd of the season is already gone and the Lakers are just above the “play-in” situation.
The burden is once again on the LeBron-Anthony pair to deliver night in and night out for a win. Anthony Davis’ recent injury will keep him out till 10th January 2021, which means the added load on James to carry the team offense.
Despite all these issues at the Lakers front, James has never failed to amuse fans with his high IQ plays and unimaginable shots. One such insane play was seen in the Lakers recent game against San Antonio Spurs. Watch the play carefully,
It was just the 2nd minute of the game and James was handling the dribble for the Lakers. Derrick White was defending LeBron which is a size-mismatch on James. LeBron James scooped past the defender and went for the reverse dunk.
Spurs’ Center Jacob Poeltl stepped in to protect the rim, but James quickly made the adjustment in his shot and converted an insane no-look shot that perfectly goes into the basket – without touching the rim. Commentators were also charmed by the impossible shot from the king. The Lakers official Twitter also has got many positive replies for the shot.
This is not the first time LeBron has made such a so-called “Circus-shot” in his career. Take a look at some of the incredible shots and plays James has in his career.
The Lakers lost 110-138 against the Spurs, and are on 4 games losing run. James scored team-high 36 points along with 9 rebounds and 6 assists for the Lakers. Westbrook managed 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. Other Laker players were struggling against the Spurs team defense.
San Antonio managed to overcome Murray and Poetlt’s rough night on the court, with Keita Bates-Diop and Derrick White scoring 30 and 23 respectively. Spurs have beaten both LA teams in their back-to-back games and are now 10th in the Western Conference with a 13-18 record.
The Lakers will have their Christmas day matchup against the Eastern Conference top seed Brooklyn Nets. San Antonio Spurs will be playing against the Pistons on Boxing Day.
