LeBron James missed an easy dunk as the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Denver Nuggets in Game 2.
Lakers was up by eight points early in the second, James had a clear run to the basket after being found by Rui Hachimura in transition.
The Lakers bench rose to their feet, the crowd inside Ball Arena held their breath, and the eyes of the world stared more intently waiting for a big King James dunk.
But as the four-time MVP began his ascent to the hoop, the ball slipped out of his hands and rolled off the court towards the front row much to the delight of the home crowd and to the disbelief of the Lakers bench.
LeBron blowing the easy dunk was just one of the many uncharacteristic errors made by the 19-time All-Star in the Game 2 loss.
Despite shooting 9-for-19 for his 22 points, the 38-year-old was freezing cold from three-point range.
Despite adding nine rebounds and 10 assists to his stat line, James went 0-6 from beyond the arc and his playoff woes from deep continued.
After the game, LeBron James reflected on the 0-2 hole the Lakers find themselves in and said that it wasn’t the end of the world.
Denver now prepares to face a desperate Lakers team that hasn’t lost at home since March 26. In fact, Los Angeles hasn’t dropped consecutive contests since mid-March.
But it’s worth pointing out the Lakers are 0-3 in conference finals series after falling behind 2-0.
As a passionate fan, I'm eagerly hoping to see LeBron James bring his A-game in the next match. His exceptional skills, leadership, and determination have always impressed us.
With each game, he continues to elevate his performance, and I can't wait to witness his improvement and inspire his team to victory.
His the GOAT but I think it's time to retire
