LeBron James’ game-winner recreated in NBA 2K15 is awesome
If you misses LeBron James’ game-winning buzzer-beater against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night, NBA 2K15 recreated it for you, and it’s awesome.
It’s pretty rare that you see back-to-back game-winning buzzer-beaters in the NBA playoffs by opposing teams, but that’s the case in the Chicago Bulls vs. Cleveland Cavaliers series. This is looking like a matchup that could easily go to Game 7 and no one would be too upset about it.
Derrick Rose hit a game-winner to beat the Cavs in Game 3 before LeBron James did the same to beat the Bulls in Game 4. I wonder how Game 5 might end. Heck, maybe it will go into four overtimes before a winner can be declared.
In case you missed Sunday night’s thriller and perfect shot from LeBron in the corner to win it, NBA 2K15 has you covered.
The video game recreation of this buzzer-beater, along with a flashback to Derrick Rose’s, is a pretty cool thing to see as it’s so lifelike that it’s actually kind of scary.
Just check it out for yourself:
Everything was perfectly remade, down to the color of the jerseys and the location of the game-winning shot in the corner.
The best part of the video was probably the flashback to Rose’s shot, which was also perfectly remade all the way down to the bank-in, in which LeBron seemed motivated to leave his mark in Game 4.
Who would have thought that head coach David Blatt almost cost his team the game with a Chris Webber-like timeout but the Cavs would win on a shot at the buzzer.
What a crazy series.
