Finally Warriors sign Superstar of Lakers for $185 Million…
The Los Angeles Lakers are fighting for their playoff lives, and LeBron James made a massive play that gave Bob Myers flashbacks.
As ex-Golden State Warriors Bob Myers was on the broadcast for ESPN, James had an epic chasedown block on the Nuggets’ Jamal Murray:
Said Myers during Game 4 between the Lakers and Nuggets, “That’s more impressive to me than the scoring. I mean, chasing down a blocked shot. I remember when he did that one time in Oakland. But I didn’t like it.”
Of course, Myers is referring to LeBron’s legendary Game 7 chase down block on Andre Iguodala in the 2016 NBA Finals. That block has gone down as one of the great plays in NBA lore.
As Iguodala took two steps as he powered toward the hoop before going airborne, James sized him up and sprung at Iguodala’s shot attempt from behind, blocking the potential layup off the glass with 1:50 remaining.
Had James not made the chase-down block, Golden State would have had the lead — and a raucous home crowd — on its side in the game’s final moments. Instead, The Block set up The Three by Kyrie Irving less than a minute later and, ultimately, the championship for Cleveland shortly thereafter.
The Lakers finally broke through in the win column against the Nuggets on Saturday night with a 119-108 win.
