But even he was blown away by what his teammate J.R. Smith was able to pull off against the New York Knicks on Sunday.
With a little help from Iman Shumpert, Smith hammered home a double clutch reverse alley-oop, a dunk so good that LeBron could not believe what he saw.
Take a look at the dunk and James’ reaction below:
The J.R. Smith experiment in Cleveland certainly appears to be working so far. He’s averaging 12.8 points (41.4 percent shooting from the field, 35.6 percent shooting from beyond the arc) and 2.5 assists per game with Cleveland.
More importantly, Smith has James in his corner. On Saturday, LeBron told the New York Daily News that Smith has brought the Cavaliers, “Everything we needed and more.”
It’s easy to see where LeBron is coming from when Smith is showing out with dunks like Sunday’s alley-oop.
