James got the bucket thanks to a great outlet pass from Kevin Love.
Watch the play below:
Get used to seeing that. Love is perhaps the best outlet passer in the league and LeBron, well, he’s the best player in the league.
The Cavaliers drafted LeBron with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2003 NBA Draft. He spent the first seven years of his NBA career with the Cavs before signing with the Miami Heat in 2010. LeBron signed with the Cavaliers this offseason following four years with Miami.
LeBron averaged 27.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game this past season with the Heat.
Love averaged 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds per game last year with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Cavaliers traded for Love this offseason as part of a three-team deal that sent Andrew Wiggins to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
