JJ Redick’s been watching LeBron James play basketball for decades at this point. There’s hardly anything he hasn’t seen James do on the court. The 41-year-old forward proved his Lakers coach wrong on Saturday night in the team’s 127–125 overtime win over the Nuggets.
With just under a minute left in regulation, Denver led Los Angeles by one point. After the Nuggets’ Cameron Johnson hit the rim on a three-point attempt to take an even bigger lead, players on both teams fought to get the crucial rebound. It was James in the end who won that battle—and he had to make a heroic dive in the process.
