LeBron’s Buzzer-Beater Against The Raptors Had NBA Players Freaking Out On Twitter

LeBron James enjoys tormenting the Raptors more than you or I enjoy anything in life. After stealing the first two games of the series in Toronto, the Cavs and Raptors headed to Cleveland for Game 3 and the end result was more pain for Toronto.

The Raptors rallied from 17 down to tie the game with eight seconds to play on an OG Anunoby three-pointer, but that left more than enough time for LeBron to come up with some heroics. The result was one of the most incredible and casual game-winners in recent history, as James took it the length of the court and hit a right-handed runner, fading to the left with a gentle kiss off the glass as the clock hit zero.


It’s simply ridiculous and the arena went into full on pandemonium as one would expect as Cleveland secured a 3-0 series lead and all but locked up a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Raptors reaction was predictable as well, as players were left dumbfounded and hurt, trying to figure out what just happened, and the team Twitter account summed up the fan’s perspective pretty well.

When LeBron’s shot fell, fans watching on TV lost their minds as well, but they weren’t alone. Other NBA players had tuned in on Saturday night and erupted on Twitter when LeBron hit the shot with a variety of emotions from empathy for the Raptors to pondering if LeBron truly is the GOAT. The best, though, came from his former teammate Channing Frye.
