LeBron dishes delicious behind-the-back pass

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James can do it all on the court. He can shoot, pass and even bring a championship to Cleveland.

We shouldn’t be surprised at anything James does anymore, but we can help but notice when he matches a career-high. He did exactly that during Tuesday’s 123-114 win over the Atlanta Hawks, picking up 17 assists.

James distributed the ball with ease. And if you need proof of that, just check out one of his fourth quarter passes, in the clip above.

With the Cavs already up 98-81, James went behind-the-back to find Kyle Korver for the wide open three in the corner. Since it was Korver, you know he nailed the shot from long range.

That was James’ 14th assist of the night. He went on to dish out three more during the contest, tying his career-high. As you might expect, he also did a lot of scoring, leading the team with 25 points.

Given how well things were going for LeBron, you couldn’t blame him for trying to make things harder on himself in the quarter with the behind-the-back pass. But even when he does that, he winds up making it look easy.
