Imagine having to guard LeBron James one-on-one.
He can dribble by you with his speed and handle. Shoot over you and connect with his linedrive shot from three. James could then post you up and body you until he's right underneath the basket. Oh yeah, and if you foul him, he can also shoot free throws. He can hit turn around jumpers and fade away jumpers. James can dunk from deep outside of the restricted zone and wrap up some monster alley-oops.
What happens when a superstar and gifted player like LeBron James begins to develop trick shots?
The NBA is doomed.
Here is a look at James' trick shot. It would be scary to see if he busts it out on the floor during a game.
International players WATCH OUT!
The play actually looks legal when looking at his footwork and since the ball never touches the floor when he swings it over his head it can not be called a carrying violation.
The only issue is if the defender doesn't bite on the fake, then he can strip the ball away from you.
He is showing it to youngster Kevin Durant, who misses on his attempt. James proves he has worked on the move as he connects on 2/3 times.
The only thing I would recommend James not to do is continue teaching Durant anymore moves. The two might continue to meet in the Finals in the next couple of years.
