We mentioned this play in our first Olympics recap, but if you happened to miss it during the game, check out LeBron’s 50-foot bounce pass to Kevin Durant. If no one’s ever said that LeBron would be the best soccer throw-in artist ever, let me be the first.
Wow, in a world where people fantasize moves, LBJ/D-Wade continue to do them in real game situations.
A pass like that even makes Magic Johnson jealous…
Let’s give KD some credit. it wasn’t the perfect pass but he handled it well.
it’s already been removed…
Hmm… Now granted I heard about the pass before I saw but for a GREAT pass it’s a little underwhelming. Does he thread the needle? Yes. But Lebron isn’t moving when he throws it, and it has all the charm and flair of a throw-in. No, you can keep this pass. Instead, I’ll take this pass from Rubio every day and twice on sunday:

Ya that page is down too. This one works if you can get past the commentary and poor video quality.
