LeBron suffers embarrassing dunk fail

Cleveland superstar LeBron James showed he is actually human in Game 4 against Boston, horribly missing an easy dunk he'd make 99 times out of 100.

The Cavs comfortably won Game 4 112-99 to take a 3-1 series lead, but LeBron suffered an embarrassing mishap he'd rather forget.

Late in the third quarter with the Cavs trailing by one, Kevin Love found LeBron with a brilliant long pass down court.

James went up for the finish we all know and love, but somehow bricked it and watched on as the ball bounced off the rim and out.

Luckily for LeBron the blunder didn't prove costly as he helped his side take down the Celtics.

Kyrie Irving took over in the second half and finished with 42 points as LeBron added 34.

Irving stayed on the floor despite rolling his left ankle in the third quarter, when he scored 19 in less than five minutes, and James shook off early foul trouble.

The defending NBA champions can wrap up their third-straight conference title - and a "three-match" against the Warriors - with a win in game five on Thursday night in Boston.
