LeBron James wasn’t his superstar self yesterday, having a sub-par game 2 against the aging San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals. His offensive wasn’t flowing, so he tried to get things going on defense in the second half, and Spurs forward Tiago Splitter was the recipient of a block dunk or failed attempt of a dunk. LeBron could have made himself a highlight poster courtesy of Splitter.
“Basically, I told myself, you’ll end up on SportsCenter one way or another, either getting dunked on going to get a block,” James said. “Luckily I was on the good side of the top 10.”
In his attempt to dunk on LBJ, Splitter didn’t hesitate to attack the rim with power and what jumping abilities he had from a pass he received from Tony Parker. Reacting quickly from the weak side LeBron jumped with Splitter and at that moment he was he had the hang time to win the battle in the air. Watch the video below.
