Is LeBron James' sprained ankle okay? Is he finding comfort in the LeBron 11? Ben McLemore would probably answer 'yes' to both questions following last night's game between the Sacramento Kings and Miami Heat.
Early in the first quarter, LeBron took advantage of some defensive miscommunication and cut straight to the basket. There, he met a waiting McLemore, who was content trying to take the charge over making a play on the ball. LeBron made him pay for standing still with a one-handed jam that brought the entire Heat bench to its feet. Not the fans, because they don't start arriving until the second half.
Further evidence shows McLemore side-stepped the full effect of the dunk, but it looks great in photos and he still ended up on the ground. No escaping this one.
"It sucks that it was him too because I like him," James told reporters after the game.
