And this is why he is the best player in basketball...

[k0kakw0rld]

The smartest pass/play I've seen in a while.

Lebron no look pass to Irving (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6xbcrJH2Bs&list=UUWJ2lWNubArHWmf3FIHbfcQ) :bowdown:

He fooled everybody including Shawn Marion :lol

[JT123]

Best no look pass in NBA history. :bowdown: :bowdown:

[russwest0]

Damn, best play I've ever seen.

seriously though, that was pretty dope

[robert de niro]

:roll:

[magmo68]

Pretty awesome

[Le Shaqtus]

Jesus Christ he's like the Albert Einstein of passing.

Greatest pass in history.

[Spaulding]

It was funny too because James was yelling at Marion and he was confused.

What's impressive about peripheral vision?

Irving is the one who made that play by making a tough shot over a defender.

That's the benefit of playing with a Kyrie.

This is one of the few true "no look" passes I've seen Lebron actually throw. Typically he looks away after he's made the pass. This was nice. :applause:

Kids at my gym make plays like this on a regular basis.

He made up his mind he was gonna pass to Irving, and was overly obvious about his gestures toward Marion, which in turned fooled no one on the D, and Irving is forced to make a tough layup over Solomon.

[Done_And_Done]

Good stuff

yeah in this instance irving was wide open though.

Is this a troll thread? I'm a fan of Lebron and I don't see anything special in this. Everyone on the court and the building knew where that ball was going except Marion (who probably knew as well).

That is a great pass is It? :oldlol:

That's a straight forward pass with an unecessary no look added to it.

If you want to see some high IQ no look passes, Bird has a bucket load of them.

Didn't think there was so many posters on here who don't play organized basketball :facepalm

I thought this thread was about Marc Gasol.

Dude. Have another look at it.

8 to 10 feet away, Kyrie is wide open. There is zero adversity to that pass.

I've seen a pick and roll pass from Ginobili through a players legs, much higher difficulty and execution recently.

Just looked at it again, kinda agree. The pass it self is nothing special but the play is relatively nice, both in it's deception and execution.

Plus, the Cav's commentators say the same lines over and over again.

I would probably comment on the overall ball movement from the TEAM and swinging the ball all over the court as more impressive.

that play is just the commentators jerking off an average pass.

[pauk]

He fooled the hell outta me aswell watching the game, he waved Marion in, screamed, pointed and stared at him like "come on man, move here, fast!!", defense got that attention and got prepared for, then BAM! flicks it to somebody else inside, the way he wanted all the time......

You know, this is a new kindof no-look pass when you think about it.... usually someone would just look at somebody else and pass somewhere else, making the defense guess where you will get the ball between 2 sides.......

But when you do like this Lebron did here you make it very obvious where the ball will go, wave, point, scream at the teammate to make a move so he can pass and everything, this forces the opposing defense to totally commit to that play/pass.... thats where one guy starts sneaking behind in the background for a wideopen look........ its like baiting.... bait them in, they hook and then you do the opposite..... its kindof... genius.....

[Dragic4Life]

One of the best pass I've witness from the last decade.

[KingPush]

Quite possibly the greatest pass of all time

And ive been watching the NBA for over 3 years now

[Sakkreth]

Damn that was sick. Hard to rank it because it's very different.

[Overdrive]

Good pass for sure, but Kyrie came from the right side, where Lebron was looking. Not hard to project where he was going.

Beats down on Lebron's. He never was a good no-look passer as he would always force something that didn't come naturally to him, turning his head to the stands and to where he has no teammates as if that was where he was gonna pass the ball :roll:

I liked Kyries rebound/midair outlet to Marion more.

And Lebron had another nice pass but it didnt lead anywhere. Nice long lobbed outlet I think was to Marion but he didnt finish.

[lilteapot]

Not every player from earlier generations is better than the ones now you ****ing imbeciles.

No.

Just the usual "Bieber generation" fans like yourself are ignorant and stupid.

Right now, there are about 10 players better than Lebron alltime. Maybe more, depending on how lebron performs with the Cavs.

[IGOTGAME]

I've seen Rubio directing a player at half court while throwing a no look alley opp. All from half court.

[plowking]

Same people arguing the same shit.

Some of you can't appreciate a nice play by Bron, while others make too much of it. It was a nice play, regardless who it was. Now let us move on.

[Dragic4Life]

:facepalm @ these idiots arguing for Bird.

Dude was an unathletic player whose body can't keep up with the evolving pace of this game.

Lebron is by far the better passer, don't get me started on the other aspects of basketball.

[LBJ 23]

Pass itself was nothing special. The whole play however was pretty smart and unique and it certainly influenced Indiana's defense. It was not some unnecessary move like so many fake no-look passes we see today.

[MP.Trey]

That has to be the first time I've seen someone simultaneously bark orders at one player while throwing a no look to another player. That's a great basketball play and a nice pass, some people are getting carried away but you can't deny that. The same people who complain about LeBron's pass then look away passes are in here complaining about or downplaying this. It's a fantastic play, one I've never seen done before in that particular way. Gotta give credit where it's due even if you don't like the man.

Turns out you know nothing about Larry Bird.
You're stuck in the past. Your impression and recollection of Bird is warped.

Don't you remember all the back injury and getting abused physically by other players? He was never athletic enough to thrive in this game. Don't get me started on the era differences. Bird is lucky he doesn't have to play in today's league.

I remember the back injury and him dropping a damn near 50 point triple double with a game tying 3 point floater on 2 very athletic dunk contest finalists, another long good defender who was still a good defender in 2005, and and all d first team tough bigman.

Old bad back...13 games left in his career Larry Bird...has a 49/14/12 game guarded by Clyde drexler:

And

Jerome Kersey:

http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/o524/aloncho11/Kersey.gif


And all D Buck Williams who nobody ever called soft....and a little by Cliff Robinson who was still All D team as late as 2002(with Kobe, Duncan, and KG)) and ive seen guard Lebron well.

Bird matched up with these 4 people...much healthier...younger...and more athletic. 2 of them all D teamers.

Hes on his last legs. Would play like 2 more weeks.

He hands out a near 50 point monster triple double. as the 4th winds down...he hits Drexler with a spin move and nails a 3 point floater to tie that today would be a 4 point play.

Celtics go on to win.

Past his prime with a soon to be fused back he can serve up teams full of long athletic defenders...but not todays long athletic defenders I suppose....

[Bandito]

Nice troll Lebron:lol

sigh...
Solomon hill KNEW he had to leave his man to cover Kyrie. He even turned around to communicate it to Ian Mahinmi. Mahinmi was just too slow to rotate because his momentum had carried him out of bounds earlier and he was slow to return to the play.

[Blue&Orange]

Ish basketball forum for retards.

Straight line 2 meters pass with no one even close between the two players. Even someone with down sindrome with motor skills affected would make that pass, the fact that someone thinks that this shitty play proves anything about LEbron and provoked a five page discussion is mind-boggling.

Pop called Durant the best player in the world in 2012 so I guess he doesn't know basketball.

Durant was knocking at the door for a long time and last year, he was statistically more dominant and his team record without Westbrook and the fact that he's plays in the West pretty much negates anything you just said about LeBron being the best.

I guess you have nothing better to do but troll away your Sunday. School in the morning kid.

He said he was arguably the best and Durant has improves significantly as an overall player since then. And Durant surpassed Lebron statistically last year, and he was always better when you gave him the "eye test"

But hey, anyone who says LeBron isn't the best doesn't know basketball! LOL... you spew the stupidest shit on here. I didn't feel bad for you until you said "Im probably older than you" :facepalm

LeBron is not the best. You can't just hold on to the past or else Kobe is the best... Duncan is the best........ hell, Jordan is still the best because there was once a time when he was. Times change kid, and they change fast. Durant was widely considered the second best until last year where he took the next step. It's not like he came out of no where and is all of a sudden proclaimed the best like an Anthony Davis or whatever.

And to sit here and act like people don't know basketball because they don't slurp up the LeBron hype like a dumb troll like you? Like I said, I feel bad for a dumb guy like you. Probably never played a sport in your life. But you're a bball expert because you've been watching ESPN for the past year or so.

You can't even remember stuff that happened two years ago. You're the very definition of "casual fan"

:oldlol:

[NZStreetBaller]

It just went from good pass to most overrated pass of all time. Irving was open as hell but far away from lebron enough for him to see on a 180 axis. He just looks at a different player and makes the basic pass. Its really that simple.

I understand that lebron stans are starting to lower the bar but geeez

[NZStreetBaller]

If somebody is within ur 180 vision then its not a no look pass. Because you can still see them. Behind the back and stuff is a no looker.

This was just a no f

This is one of the few true "no look" passes I've seen Lebron actually throw. Typically he looks away after he's made the pass. This was nice. :applause:

I've always thought the same thing, not necessarily just with Lebron's passes, but more no-look passes in general. Most no-look passes are pass the ball and look away passes.

And yes, cool play.
