Video: LeBron’s Latest Trick Shot

He pulls these ridiculous shots off so often at this point, that it’s almost difficult to be impressed by them anymore:

    I don’t think they’re difficult to be impressed by. Damn.

  • Eboy Posted: May.18 at 12:06 pm
    If he had skill instead of just brute strength, this would be remarkable. *cough, cough*

  • Jukai Posted: May.18 at 12:14 pm
    Someone’s getting bored.

  • GotHandles? Posted: May.18 at 12:45 pm
    i don’t care what ya’ll say. that is a dirty shot.

  • Darksaber Posted: May.18 at 12:49 pm
    This even made CNN. WHY?! Far as i know Cavs weren’t playing any game 7′s last night. They couldn’t wait for game 1 of the Ecf to air this? Love Bron, getting of the media stuffing these irrelevant tidbits down my throat.

    There was shooting going on? All I noticed was the shirtless part.

  • Kas Posted: May.18 at 1:35 pm
    lebron has a huge butt

  • Eboy Posted: May.18 at 1:52 pm
    It’s blatantly obvious the two guys in Ryan’s link are our SLAM commenters, Bryan and Jukai.

  • jk_light Posted: May.18 at 1:55 pm
    This was the Finals after Jukai beat you 4 Games to 1 in the Semis.

  • Gerwin Posted: May.18 at 2:38 pm
    Ryan,
    Was that you ;-) .
    Funny!

  • Tzvi Twersky Posted: May.18 at 3:12 pm
    Ryan’s video was remiscent of Perkins on one play last night where he missed a whole lotta layups.

  • Allenp Posted: May.18 at 3:22 pm
    Lebron is so hood. Have y’all noticed how often he is shown walking around the Q with no shirt on? That is hood behavior…
    Also, it’s amazing that he doesn’t shoot a better percentage from 3 considering how easily he makes these trick shots. Clearly it’s not a depth perception problem. Must be mechanics.

  • Jukai Posted: May.18 at 3:31 pm
    I’ll take that wager and raise, Ryan

    Dwight Howard never wears shirts, and he’s about as hood as Abercrombie & Fitch.

  • $DAVID$ Posted: May.18 at 4:05 pm
    this dude is sick

  • Jukai Posted: May.18 at 4:12 pm
    Allenp’s trying to find hood in Lebron James so he can like him more.

  • Exist4eva Posted: May.18 at 4:27 pm
    Allenp you dingbat. Not wearing a shirt doesnt make you hood. Have you ever seen a practice or pick up game lots of pl dont wear shirts. Thats some racist bs right there. I bet ur cracker ass is white

  • Fat Lever Posted: May.18 at 4:29 pm
    I think he made that because he gets his vitamins.

  • Allenp Posted: May.18 at 4:40 pm
    Exist
    Hi there homie.
    I’m black. In fact, I’m the resident black radical. So, no, I’m not a racist cracker.
    By the way, calling people racists crackers is not a good move.
    Finally, in my “hood” the cats who walk around constantly without shirts fit a certain profile. Notice, Lebron is not wearing basketball shorts, he wasn’t really practicing when this happened. This is the second time I’ve seen him just chilling at the practice arean with no shirt on, the last time was when he was shagging balls for his son.
    My point was not to say anything negative, but more to say that despite his money and exposure to different stuff, Lebron still retains some things he clearly picked up in his childhood. Like walking around with no shirt on often. Maybe I’m totally off, but I doubt it, since there was also a friend o Lebron’s walking around with no shirt on in the same video.
    Unfortunately, you took it as something racist and made several assumptions. That’s too bad. Fortunately, it only makes you look stupid, not me.
    Cheers.

  • Ryan Jones Posted: May.18 at 4:40 pm
    Allenp just got called a cracker.

    Russ
    Dwight Howard also likes to flex his pecs and look at himself a lot. He is clearly not wearing shirts because he likes to admire his own body.
    On the other hand, I get the sense from Lebron that his lack of a shirt is just the way he’s comfortable hanging out and chilling, something he brought along from his youth. Of course, this is a massive assumption on my part, but it is what it is.
    I understand why some of you thought my comment was ridiculous, but I disagree, particularly when you consider the other gentleman in the video walking around with no shirt on, and the fact that Lebron was not still wearing practice gear. But hey, that’s just me.

  • RBGdUP Posted: May.18 at 4:43 pm
    thas ridiculous, think of the elevation he needs on that shot from 40 feet away. Just ridiculous, there really aren’t many people strong enough to make that shot, let alone skilled enough

  • Ryan Jones Posted: May.18 at 5:00 pm
    I think this is what Allen was talking about:

  • Diesel Posted: May.18 at 5:03 pm
    Allenp – your cracker a$$ has put way too much time into analyzing the shirtless reasonings behind these folks.

  • Holy Baller Posted: May.18 at 5:20 pm
    Man you people are some dang racists today. Not to mention harsh. I’ma back Allenp up on this one. I see what he’s saying. Let’s not go around calling people racist crackers. Isn’t that more than a tad hypocritical itself? By calling him a cracker, you’re being racist.

  • Diesel Posted: May.18 at 5:24 pm
    Its a joke Holy – Its pretty well known around here that Allenp is black.

  • Esco Posted: May.18 at 5:27 pm
    And that shirtless dude next to LeBron is none other than his own teammate Tarence Kinsey. Tatted out to the max. But skinny as hell.

  • Allenp Posted: May.18 at 5:33 pm
    Ryan
    Exactly. Everybody knows Obama is going to downing 40s and smoking blunts in the Oval Office pretty soon. Then he and his baby mama are going to try to get some more of that corporate welfare, I mean bailout money.

  • Jukai Posted: May.18 at 6:57 pm
    Remember that picture that kid took of Lebron in a Chinese club, decked out in gangsta hoodwear like a peacoat and scarf. Pure street in that kid.
    But really, all that counts is that Allenp got called a racist cracker.

  • Ryan Jones Posted: May.18 at 7:55 pm
    Finally, Allen and I see eye to eye.

  • Wanu Posted: May.18 at 8:31 pm
    is wondering y they had no shirts on….weird

  • CP34MVP Posted: May.18 at 8:59 pm
    is he a beast, or is he a beast?

  • Cheryl Posted: May.18 at 10:31 pm
    Nasty scar. Wonder how he got that?

  • Holy Baller Posted: May.19 at 12:19 am
    Lol I’m not gonna lie though, it is HILARIOUS that Allenp got called a racist cracker. Of all people. Man that’s funny.

  • Anton Posted: May.19 at 12:42 am
    This topic should have a giant “NO HOMO” after every comment…bunch of dudes discussing other dudes shirtless.
    Just glad it wasn’t Big Baby shirtless.

  • German Reignman Posted: May.19 at 3:23 am
    the scar is from the different operations they had at the NIKE lab were he was engineered

  • Hisham Posted: May.19 at 3:53 am
    Weapon XXIII

  • German Reignman Posted: May.19 at 6:08 am
    Oh and btw:
    Big Baby shirtless …. we are definitely talking widescreen or even cinemascope ….

  • Hursty Posted: May.19 at 6:09 am
    Lol @ Allenp.
    @ Cheryl- thats a tattoo… if you are referring to the wrinkles down his armpit to lower ribs.
    Cool shot too I guess.

  • Gerard Himself Posted: May.19 at 9:37 am
    I like the clip, amazing shot. But the comments here are down right embarrassing. It’s a great shot, and not for one moment I thought “LeBron doesn’t wear a shirt”, for one simple reason: I don’t care. I checked the shot, thought it was cool, and that’s it.

  • B. Long Posted: May.19 at 11:02 am
    Now I’m disappointed. I thought I was the resident “racist cracker” at slamonline. Maybe Allenp is a blind black white supremacist like in that Chappelle skit. Or maybe Exist is just an idiot. Either way, good times.

  • Blinguo Posted: May.20 at 3:11 am
    This exchange is something you want to forget right away, unlike Khalid being asked if he was British, both hilarious and not discriminatory. Unless Khalid doesn’t like those British taxation w/out representation-ers.

  • Blinguo Posted: May.20 at 3:12 am
    ESPN probably owns that JalenRose.com too
