Not luck, that was the only way that play would have worked. He didn't have enough space to do a behind the back otherwise. He saw Tris shift his legs on the screen and decided to go for it. As for telling me to chill...
LOL. come on, man. You aren't serious. Lebron is not even looking at Tristan's legs when the ball is around his back.. Lebron has made the move before Tristan sets the screen. Lebron is looking where the ball is supposed to be, not where Tristan's legs have parted. Lebron is great enough, we don't have to start saying his lucky plays are deliberate. There is no shame in being lucky.
Some of you must have never played basketball. He meant to go behind is back but going through Thompson's leg was an accident. It still looks good, but I'm just saying.
He was probably trying to squeeze the behind the back dribble between him and Thompson. There was just enough space. And the handle went wider than it should. I don't think he intended to put it between Thompson's legs.
Because no-look, through another player's legs has never happened right? Oh wait, we have seen stuff like that plenty of times from both Harden and CP3. A simple behind the back with that little space would have been dumb. It's simple for me, there was no way he could have squeezed the ball between those 3 players. A guy of LBJ's intelligence would immediately recognized that. He would have been more likely to just bull dribble it through.
If I saw this from Lebron as often and DELIBERATELY as Harden, I MIGHT give Lebron the benefit of the doubt. Harden does these behind the back, between the legs, passes way too many times for it to be an accident. You can tell Harden is trying to do exactly what he is doing.
That's one bogus ass assist. NBA better take that assist away from him cuz Bron had to create that for himself.
