LeBron James is obviously an incredible basketball player, so even his bad mistakes on the court are better than most player’s successes.

LeBron James is widely known as one of, if not the best basketball player in the world, and he’s pulled off some of the craziest plays and performances on the court throughout his career.

However, even The King has to make a mistake once and a while. But, when you’re royalty, even those mishaps can prove to be beneficial. In a game where Kyle Korver dunks, nothing else should be considered weird for the Cleveland Cavaliers. And when the Cavaliers find themselves down 2-0 in the NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors, you’ll take whatever you can get.

Regardless, in the second quarter, LeBron pulled off some real wizardry reminiscent of Kevin Durant’s circus shot from Game 2, and scored even when he wasn’t trying to.

On an alley-oop pass attempt to Kevin Love, LeBron’s pass went juuuuuust a bit too high, and missed pretty horribly considering the level of play the star forward usually has on the court. Love was fouled on the pass, but the attempt actually somehow went in for LeBron, giving him two points and Love a free throw attempt for his troubles.

LeBron registered 21 of his team’s first 43 points, and doesn’t look like he’ll be stopping his incredible performance anytime soon. He’s already averaging a triple-double in the series, but still finds his team clawing to stay in the series and to avoid a sweep.

Even after an early collision in the first quarter with Tristan Thompson that scared every Cavaliers fan in attendance and watching at home nearly to death, The King is leading his team in their comeback attempt. LeBron is truly putting his team on his back, even when he isn’t trying to.
