LeBron James is one of the greatest players in NBA history. LeBron has used his popularity and following to speak out on social issues and injustice. He is also a staunch supporter of the WNBA and has previously expressed an interest in buying a WNBA team. LeBron James and his Lakers side even came out in support of the WNBA teams by wearing dedicated t-shirts for pre-game warmups.
LeBron has recently shared a clip of WNBA star Erica Wheeler on his social media. In the video, Wheeler tied up Atlanta Dream guard Odyssey Sims in a 74-68 win on Thursday night. Wheeler did a crossover during the game that sent Sims away towards the basket. This left a lot of space and all the time in the world for Erica to score.

It was a wonderfully executed crossover from Wheeler. However, it is not the first time she has buried her opponent like that. Earlier this week, Wheeler sent WNBA veteran Sue Bird the other way with a smooth crossover step-back at the elbow. Bird ended up with her face on the floor. However, she didn’t injure herself due to the fall.
