LeBron James had 12 assists in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ blowout win over the Boston Celtics on Saturday night, and the difficulty level on some of the passes was off the charts — if he does say so himself.
Following the Game 3 victory, ESPN’s Dave McMenamin gave LeBron a great opportunity to pat himself on the back over his passing ability and some of the assists he had. LeBron had no problem “indulging,” as McMenamin put it.

“It seemed easy, right?” LeBron said sarcastically. “They’re all pretty difficult. Don’t try it at home.”
LeBron’s passing ability has always been something that sets him apart from some of the other great offensive players in NBA history. He prides himself on getting his teammates involved and making sure he’s not the only person putting up numbers.
As we know, James has also never been afraid to toot his own horn when he feels it is warranted. McMenamin made it easy for him, but a 12-assist game in the NBA playoffs is a good time to call attention to that part of LeBron’s game.
