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:
