LeBron James has an arsenal of moves in his repertoire, and with the game on the line on Sunday against the hapless Wizards, he chose “the crab dribble,” which can also be called “taking three steps while going to the hole.” Result? A surprising traveling call and a win for the Wizards. Witness!
Unsurprisingly, LeBron was not amused.
“I took a ‘crab’ dribble, which is a hesitation dribble and then two steps,” James said. James believes he perfectly executed a jump stop on the play, but was still called for traveling. “It’s a play you don’t see much in the NBA,” he said. “You have your trademark plays, and that’s one of mine.”
Whatever, it’s a walk.
Oh, and DeShawn and LeBron still don’t like each other, blahblahblah.
The Wizards are now 7-25 for the season, but 1-1 in 2009. We can build on this!
