Did you watch the Heat/Knicks game on National TV yesterday? There was a play in the second half where LeBron James went up to catch a fast break alley oop. The only Knick back was J.R.

Here’s the thing though: As great of an athlete as Smith is, he’s only human. Everything we’ve seen out of LeBron over the last month+ tells us he’s not of this basketball universe.
On this particular play, LeBron couldn’t finish and actually came down awkwardly on his knee. Regardless, the athletic display is incredible. Check out this larger shot:
