Iguodala Speaks On LeBron’s Chase Down Block

[@mr.balawis9948]

its true. ..j.r. smith was the reason lebron blocked that shot.

[@lafayettefleur]

even JR acknowledges this

[@volourn9764]

No, lbj is why he got the block. Listen. Lbj gives his advice to help his teammates help him set up that black. That is court iq. You think j.r. thought of that himself? :D

[@RecapRico]

@@volourn9764u think Lebron thought of that himself??? It’s literally been a thing since before he entered the league 😂😂 1st man makes you chop up ur steps 2nd man jumps. Ya Lebron fans be wild

[@yahiamohamed7809]

The full story Before the shot iggy missed 2 free throws so he could have tried to get contact and maybe finish through the contact or at least get to the free throw however because he had just missed those free throws he shied away from the contact

[@ybquis9201]

Hearing Lebron say exactly what Iggy said about changing the shot just enough to block it is absolutely incredible💯

[@213ingrid]

ya ya 😂 I'm thinking about that one too

[@drew31dm]

I never knew Lebron had a strategy behind his come from behind blocks with his teammates assistance with making the opposing scorer shift their shot so he could get a better chance at cleaning it off the backboard. Smart thinking

[@thenames_maiz9769]

He practiced with them alot at training

[@salem927]

No, The strategy wasn't to get them to lay it off the backboard. It was to get them to slow down a little if he wasn't close enough

[@morningvillains]

it was basically make them adjust that shot, doesn’t matter how much you make them adjust it just make them adjust it

[@adu11]

I think it was just to slow them down and ideally go for the lay that was he would have time to get back in the frame and a lay is easier to block than a dunk

[@londonjennings9608]

Timing is a huge factor in chasedowns too

[@lafayettefleur]

even Jr acknowledges in a interview he knew if he just ran thru iggy bron would clean it up

[@themilkmansfuckinyawaaaf]

Yo pause lol

[@smartomar4536]

It’s actually part of Bron’s blocking procedure. If Bron wanna do a chase down block, one of his teammates gotta distract the offensive player who have the ball only for 0.5 half a second, then LeBron is coming from behind to clean it up. It’s hard to do a chase down block when you’re the only player there.

[@orlandowilliamson691]

​@@smartomar4536Facts!!! Chasedown blocks people don't know how difficult it is to do. But if you have a guy there to distract it makes it alot easier Jr did a good job of disrupting his dunk.

​@Goodvibezisaac what that number 1 seed get them? Oh yea bounced before the chip time. The bulls had an offensive system that they used and that's why they were still effective without mj, they just weren't as good obviously as with him..LeBron needs the LeBron system for his team to be effective, literally every team he's formed had done the same thing. He can't operate in an offensive system and be coached like other greats

And people say "LeBron isn't clutch", as if this wasn't one of the most clutch defensive plays of all time.

[@laynebrock]

Ppl don’t say lebron isn’t clutch anymore. He started to change that narrative right around 2013-2014. Before 2013 he was a choke artist tho

[@edwinyounes4934]

Forget that one play lol Bron has the most buzzer beaters in playoffs history. Ppl who say he isn’t clutch are just delusional haters

[@aaryasharma4940]

​@@edwinyounes4934 he is a great clutch player but I have to say just coz he has the most buzzer beaters also doesn't mean he's the most clutch player ever (which is the argument MANY Lebron fans make) he also has played the most playoff and finals games amongst other leading scorers in playoffs and finals (and approximately 70-80 more playoff games than MJ as well who I think is 2nd leader in pts in playoffs after Lebron)

[@edwinyounes4934]

@@aaryasharma4940 you right. It’s because he makes them at a higher % than most if them that he is clutch.

[@aaryasharma4940]

@@edwinyounes4934 yeah he and MJ are basically Gods in playoff time, I've never seen such impressive performances ever especially MJ a bit more coz he just elevated his game. He actually averaged like way better stats in playoffs and even better stats in finals, Lebron as well he's very efficient with it and he makes some of the most clutch layups I've seen, he misses one in the 4th and next thing you know he makes like multiple consecutive layups in OT

Yep. That's exactly what Bron said

That block needs to be framed in gold in the cavaliers basketball arena somewhere

It's already framed, unless if salty owner Dan Gilbert removed it after Lebron left for lakers... but it was there at the visiting team locker.. so GSW could see it when heading to their locker

I've been saying this for years, if jr doesn't make Iggy adjust lbj wouldnt have had that extra time to get there, all lbj needed was that split second since he covers so much ground with his strides

[@kingralo5954]

Why people saying if, this and if that! There is a lot of ifs that happens every day. If kobe didn’t have shaq only 2 rings possibility less, if Scottie didn’t lock down magic lakers win that series, if Kerr didn’t hit the 3 bulls prolly lose series.. see how it makes no sense y’all act like other nba players are not suppose to do their jobs

[@kelvinmcknight4274]

I think the big reason this happens is that Klay didn’t run on the opposite side of Steph. If he does that this play is totally different.

Леброн такой универсальный игрок, он может забивать, пасовать и подбирать, но его самым запоминающимся моментом в карьере стал этот Блок. Куда логичнее ведь с Кайри Ирвингом - лучший момент это трехочковый через Стефа в этой же игре. Или защита Лава против Стефа в концовке.

[@mikephillips1043]

Lebron was shooting TERRIBLE this night. Kyrie hit the shot that won it. Lebron after that had a chance to dunk it and end it and flopped his ass instead to go to the line and missed the FT to ice the game. We got lucky Love locked down Curry after that but outside of this block Lebron wasnt carrying shit. Kyrie the last 3 games was the key to the cavs. The reason the cavs lost the finals the year before and this wasnt back to back was Love had a cheap shot against him which destroyed his shoulder needing major surgery and Kyrie blowing out his knee needing major surgery. The people that think Lebron carried forget that when he had a chance to carry we lost. When Kyrie and Love were there they won.

I don't get the big deal about this block. Cause the Cavs got the ball back and Lebron missed. Then after Curry missed a 3. It wouldn't have been that crazy if Steph hit that 3. Technically the series was done from the miss 3, not cause of this dunk.
