It seems like we get plays like this out of LeBron James once a month or so. There isn’t a better passing forward on the planet, and he reminds us of the fact just about every time he steps out on to the court.

James and the Cavaliers got off to a hot start in Wednesday’s Game Two against the Hawks, jumping out to a 35-20 lead after the first quarter. LeBron had a major say in that early surge, finishing with 7 points, 2 assists, a steal and a rebound in the first. He didn’t get an assist on the following play, but this left-handed bullet pass he fires at Kyrie Irving all in one motion was a thing of beauty (via @World_Wide_Wob):

The hockey assist will do, I’m sure.
