The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics met tonight for Game 3 where Jae Crowder brought the defensive pressure for Lebron James

Jae Crowder forced a back court violation on LeBron James during Game of the playoff series between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers. Crowder made LeBron look foolish when he stepped up to play some tight defense around half court. LeBron went into panic mode and lost his dribble, which bounced away from him. LeBron chased it down but unfortunately for him it was a backcourt violation.

It was certainly one for the LeBron James blooper reel. It is strange to see such a dominant player make such a basic mistake on the court. However, those who strive to play like LeBron can now emulate him much more easily. Just lose your dribble and commit a backcourt violation and you are that much closer to playing like King James. Try it the next time you hop in to a pick up basketball game. Your teammates will undoubtedly love your new moves and you will become the envy of everyone on the court.

Jae couldn’t keep LeBron down for long though.

Despite the botched half court crossing, James went on to put up 31 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists for the Cavs. LeBron and company ended up with the win as well, bringing the series to 3-0 in Cleveland’s favor and putting them one win away from advancing into the next round.
