You Be The Judge

Did LeBron get this from the free throw line? Even if he didn’t, could he take off from the stripe and bang one in game?

  2. king joe says:

    half a step in the paint

  3. Austin Burton says:

    It looked like at least part of his foot was touching the line.

  4. Christian Grant-Fields says:

    Geez!
    Can we get ‘Bron in a dunk contest PLEASE!?

  5. heckler...formerly 'yallallreadyknow' says:

    he was on the line.
    but he prolly could get it from behind the line.

  6. fallinup says:

    In game…quite impressive. And it looked effortless.

  7. E$ says:

    Far enough…In a game situation, this is the record

  8. fallinup says:

    Stop it at :18 secs. His heel was on the line. He took off right in front of it.

    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    that was ridiculous.

  11. Jim says:

    good look j

    A little bit inside and he could easily get a legit one, that looked easy.

    thats nuthin . . . back when I played . . .

    :sarcasm smiley:

    the guys an alien.

  15. Sho-Nuff says:

    Look at LBJ tryin’ to be James White…..kidding of course..

    LBJ is ridiculous. I think he’s going to average somewhere around 35/8/8 this year.

  16. turambur says:

    That is the most amazing thing that I’ve ever seen on a basketball court.

  17. Michorizo says:

    is there really any doubt whatsoever that if he doesn’t get a major injury throughout this career (knock on wood) and Ferry manages to assemble a decent cast around him, LBJ will go down as the greatest player in NBA history???

  18. turambur says:

    Michorizo,

    I’m as big a LeBron fan as there is (he is the reason that I became and NBA fan again after years of just not caring), but he needs a consistant jump shot and an automatic free throw (80%+) before there is zero doubt.

    My money is that if he develops both of those things in the next 2-3 years he could take a good NCAA team to an NBA championship, considering what he’s done with some truely awful Cavs teams recently.

    bron can bang from the free throw line.. no question

  20. Drink the Haterade (KB24 Chip 09) says:

    @ CGF– LBJ won’t join one, all he does is tomahawks, as nasty as they are he’s not creative enough and if he lost…

  21. advocate says:

    i was at the game last night, his heel was about an inch or two in front of the line but it was an insane dunk. definately not enough rap about in on tv (espn), they even showed the floor angle too. that definately doesn’t do it justice…what a game, what a talent,…unreal to watch. later fellas,…also, just in: LeBron is now 6′8”, 274 lbs….peace.

  22. thomasmmm says:

    lebron is more than 6′8″. and his dunk isn’t better than Eddie Jones’ near-freethrow dunk over Vin Baker. And 1 no call!

  23. MOVEZ says:

    LEBRON IS THE MAN HE SHOULD BE PAID WAY MORE WHAT HE IS GETTING NOW THAT DUDE GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY WORTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I WISH I COULD MEET HIM AND REALLY SEE IF HE IS HUMAN……..(PAUSE)LBJ23!!!!!!!!! ALL DAY

  24. Kermit the Washington says:

    Speaking of James White…
    Would you guys agree that James White is the best free-throw-line-dunker of all time?

  25. itsakademiks says:

    6′ 9″ 250 ppl…..nuff said

  26. Jim says:

    @Kermit I think that 2H side to side dunk he did from the line is the best one I’ve seen by a lot, sure.

  27. tealish says:

    @post4: What dunk besides the tomahawk does Bron do? He will get straight 7’s across the board for every single dunk.

  28. nick says:

    damn

    lebron could easily dunk from behind the free throw line. he easily still would have the elevation to do that dunk. he just makes it look easy.

  29. Marci says:

    Why did they change the fuckin’ camera angle?!

  30. ERIC says:

    Good looks on the .gif file j. LeBron is a freakish athlete at his size/agility/quickness. He could definitely throw one down from the FT line – just look how easy he glided to the hoop with room to spare.

    @thomasmmm – great call on the Eddie Jones cram on VB. Back in ‘97 – that was a SICK throwdown.

    And James White is DEF the best FT-line dunker of all-time. He does it all one-hand, two-hand, windmill, between the legs.

  31. Mamba says:

    That oop he caught in the game was effortless as well – LeBron is just dirty – best athlete in the NBA bar none,

    The go ahead stuff Ariza had in the Lake show game was filthy as well,

    Im sayin LeBron could go from behind the foul stripe if he wanted too,

  32. MKE Slim says:

    Eddie Jones took off from the stripe years ago against the bucks and dunked on andrew lang.

    Right at the :58 second mark

  33. MJ says:

    Is that the worst possible camera angle for that dunk or what?

    Thanks, Cavs television. Your turd is in the mail.

  34. otto says:

    why do producers switch to that angle every time a player has a breakaway dunk. The only dunks that look better from the rear angle are the baseline ones. MJ over Ewing, Starks over Olajuwan, B-Diddy over AK47.

  35. MSkittle says:

    True, Otto. Bad camera angle

  36. KanDman says:

    Yeah the dunk was great and effortless, but notice how Bron Bron goes from half court with just one dribble, INSANE!!!
