LeBron James has put forth poor defensive effort all season long, but this is a new low. Watch The King simply decide against contesting a Wes Johnson corner three-pointer – which the swingman made, of course – early in tonight’s game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers.
We’ll just let our real-time tweet do the talking:
Jesus, Bron. Not even a half-hearted contest on that corner 3 by Johnson.

Spurred by an energetic offensive performance in the second quarter from James, the Cavs have clawed their way back from a deficit to make things competitive with the Lakers just before halftime.
