LeBron James throws sick half-court bounce pass to Richard Jefferson (Video)

Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James showed off his passing prowess early against the Atlanta Hawks.

Despite having plenty of time off after sweeping the Detroit Pistons in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers showed no rust early on in Game 1 of the second round against the Atlanta Hawks. The Cavaliers were hitting shots from all corners of the floor and they were also throwing some tremendous passes.

No one threw a better pass in the first half of the game, than LeBron James. As the Cavaliers got out in transition, James noticed Richard Jefferson streaking up the floor toward the hoop with the Hawks defenders trailing him.

That’s when James decided to throw a massive half-court bounce pass that was directly on the money to Jefferson.

Jefferson would take the sick pass and would finish it off with a huge one-handed slam to ignite the crowd early. The Hawks came into Cleveland with the intention of trying to steal Game 1, after the Cavaliers did the same thing to them last season.

However, the Cavaliers appeared to have Atlanta’s number early on just as they did then.
