Likewise, Bron’s former teammate Channing Frye joined the bandwagon in taking a cheeky dig at the four-time MVP over his no-look three. Frye is the voice of NBA TV’s ‘#Handles’ segment, and this is how he reacted to LeBron’s incredible no-look three-pointer.
“At the ripe old age of 57, LeBron is still doing amazing things,” Frye exclaimed. He then added humor to it by posting a meme that said the Nets created a super team in Brooklyn a day after LeBron hit the no-looker!

After winning $100 from Schroder, LeBron then maintained a humble approach when asked about the crazy no-look three-pointer in the post-game presser. Furthermore, he also revealed that Steph Curry is the guy who has mastered the no-look shots and credited the Warriors’ star for inspiring him.
“Steph has definitely done it the most in our league,” LeBron said. “When you shoot the ball as beautiful and effortlessly and precisely as Steph does, he has the ultimate ultra-green light to do that. 10 times out of 9 that’s going in for Steph.”
