LeBron James is one of basketball’s biggest ever stars, and it’s buzzer beaters like this that ensure he’ll go down in the record books.
In the first round of the NBA Playoff finals, James’ Cleveland Cavaliers are taking on the Indiana Pacers. Because America loves overkill, each round is a ‘best of seven’ showdown, and heading into game five the teams were tied at two apiece.
With the clock ticking down, and the scoreboard at 95-95, LeBron stepped up to the plate.
Nailed it:

Here’s the real kicker – just moments earlier, LeBron had denied the Pacers’ Victor Oladipo with a pretty dope block:

He’s never been short on confidence, which was clear from the instructions he gave to his teammates in the huddle with seconds left on the clock.
Via AOL:
“Just give me the ball,” he said. “Give me the ball. They had a foul to give, so I wanted to go quick so they couldn’t give up that foul, because we had no more timeouts. So I was able to turn and get to my spot.”
