Add the San Antonio Spurs guard to the list of players LeBron James has sneakily blocked in transition.
On this play, Dejounte Murray corralled a rebound before racing down the court. Murray had only Lakers guard Danny Green to beat up court, although a lion was lurking behind him. Dejounte eurostepped to his left past Green, but this move gave the King just enough time. James spike blocked the rock off the backboard to the surprise of Murray, but literally no one else who has seen James do this before. (-cough cough- Game 7 of the NBA Finals.)
The sneaker James wore for this rejection were the Nike LeBron 17. This sneaker features a heel Air unit; the largest bag ever seen on a basketball shoe, providing maximum impact protection. The two large volume Zoom units in the forefoot for extra responsiveness. Knitposite graces the upper, with heat-molding creating the scaly look. As a result of the heat, the upper features more structure and durability.
LeBron rocked a gold and purple player edition for this moment, which is not available for sale.
You can find the Nike LeBron 17 at StockX, GOAT, Stadium Goods, and Flight Club.
