LeBron James may have done something completely by accident on Thursday night. Then again, he’s LeBron, so just how much of what he does is up to chance?
Especially when you consider how ridiculous this move was.
As the Cleveland Cavaliers took on the Philadelphia 76ers in Ohio, James went to split a double team off a pick-and-roll while being defended by Joel Embiid and Robert Covington.
James took the inside route, going behind-the-back and also through the legs of teammate Tristan Thompson.
It just might be the best move of the year, and that includes Wednesday’s ridiculous James Harden crossover on Wesley Johnson.

Accident or not, that’s one of the best things I’ve seen all year in the NBA.
