Fans at Oracle Arena were treated to a real show on Wednesday night as they watched LeBron James and Stephen Curry trade baskets in the final minutes of the game, but it was the league’s four-time MVP who came out on top.
Working in isolation against Andre Iguodala, LeBron dribbled down the clock and then hit a step-back 3-pointer with 0.1 seconds left to give the Miami Heat a 111-110 win over the Golden State Warriors.
After making the big shot, LeBron gave a hearty staredown to the Warriors fans in attendance and pounded his chest:
When you make a shot like that in someone else’s building, you’ve earned the right to do a stare like that. And when you just proclaimed that basketball Mount Rushmore needs to make room for you, you sure as heck have to back it up by knocking down a shot like that.
James went 14-of-26 for 36 points and added 12 rebounds and 9 assists in the win. He is most definitely back in the MVP conversation.
