LeBron James makes amazing passes so often that sometimes you forget just how amazing it is. James had a couple of those moments last night for the crowd in Brooklyn, doing them in a way that looks so casual, it would be hard to believe if it didn’t happen so often.
Anthony Davis also had an amazing shot from halfcourt on Thursday but James had a couple of incredible passes, including one the length of the court as he emulated the quarterback Frank Vogel says he is for the Lakers. After tapping a made basket out of the net to inbound it, James chucked a full-court bomb to Anthony Davis, who got fouled.
LeBron also had another amazing pass in the second half to Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on a play the Lakers run often, the baseline hammer. Kuzma set a screen for KCP and James led KCP to the spot like Patrick Mahomes.
LeBron had 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists in last night’s win as the Lakers went 2-0 in New York City.
