LeBron James Can’t Be Expected To Play Defense On Every Play

During the 1st quarter of Thursday night’s game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James was caught dogging it a bit on defense on Wesley Johnson’s 3-point attempt. And by “dogging it a bit”, I mean not even attempting to challenge it and simply turning away and jogging back to the other side of the court. It was truly magical.

To be fair, LeBron finished with 36 points and helped the Cavs snap a six-game losing streak as they beat the Lakers 109-102, but hopefully this play isn’t an indicator of how he really feels.
