LeBron James Completely Fooled A Pair Of Lakers Defenders With A One-Handed No-Look Pass

LeBron James‘ ability as a passer might be his single best attribute. He’s never led the league in assists or anything like that, but when it comes to being able to find teammates and get them the ball, James is as good of a player as the NBA has right now.

He’s also incredible at the flashy, highlight-worthy passes that few (if any) people can make. For the latest example of this, let’s head to Los Angeles, where the Cleveland Cavaliers are taking on Isaiah Thomas and the Lakers. Late in the second quarter, James had the ball on the perimeter and looked like he was going to dump the ball off to Kyle Korver.

This scared Julius Randle and Brook Lopez, because Korver is a good shooter. That led to a window opening up for this to happen.

It’s kind of hard to see from this angle — you can tell that he dumps it off with one hand to Ante Zizic, but you can’t tell quite how remarkable this pass is. So let’s look from another angle.

With one hand and his eyes, James scared Lopez and Randle into thinking they both had to jump out to Korver, which led to the easiest dump off he’ll ever have. It was quite the pass, as was this, in which James went right between Lonzo Ball’s legs with a bounce pass.

LeBron James is very good at basketball.
