WATCH: LeBron James Channels His Inner Steph Curry to Drain a No-Look Corner Three
Follow Us
Whether you accept it or deny it, over the last few years, LeBron James has elevated his game to the next level. Earlier in his career, he was criticized for not being a consistent 3-point shooter. But in the last couple of seasons, he has erased that flaw from his game as well.
In fact, James has reached another level in terms of his 3-point shooting ability. LBJ channeled his inner Stephen Curry against the Rockets. During the first half, James drained a dagger from the left corner, but there was something different about this shot.
Right after the ball left LeBronβs wrists, he turned around to the bench. We have seen Steph Curry do this over the years, but it was the first time James tried something like this. The end result? LBJ drained the shot and the Lakers bench was hyped!
