LeBron James disrespects Kelly Olynyk, turns back before layup (Video)

LeBron James was already the King before the playoffs began, but he cemented his legacy as “King of the Troll” with his disrespect of Kelly Olynyk.

Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics has, as expected, been a blowout. So, as he normally does in blowouts, LeBron James is already back to trolling his opponents.

In the last few series, James has had some fun on the court. Between his beer gag against the Raptors, spinning the ball in Serge Ibaka’s face before nailing a three, and everything in between, The King is making things interesting.

Well, you can add this little clip to his highlight reel from this postseason. James sees Kelly Olynyk, Boston’s Game 7 hero against the Washington Wizards on Monday night, getting ready to guard him, and just prepares to go to work.

James literally turned his back to Olynyk, dribbling between his legs in the process, and drove to the rim with ease like he was playing against a third grader. He made the layup, and it perfectly summed up the first half for the Cavs on the road in Boston.

James dominated the first half, recording 23 points in the first two quarters alone for the Cavs, as they took a 61-39 lead into the locker room. James was 10-15 from the floor, and just couldn’t be stopped on offense by the Celtics.

Hopefully the Celtics can turn the series around and make it interesting, but the Cavaliers and Warriors might as well just start the NBA Finals now if this pace keeps up. The Warriors are up 2-0 against the Spurs, and aren’t looking like a collapse is inbound at all, while the Cavaliers dominate the Celtics in the East.

Unless the Celtics can come back from down 22 in Game 1, we may see James have some more fun on the court in the second half.
