Lebron's behind the back crossover is arguably better than the crossover Harden performed on Wesley Johnson the night before. One reason is splitting the defense with a behind the back crossover is extremely hard, especially with Embiid being the big hedging the pick & roll. Splitting the defense is not an easy thing to do, but to do it using a behind the back crossover that went between the legs of his own teammates legs is impressive. The fact that the ball had the perfect angle to slip between the narrow space of Tristan Thompson's legs is unbelievable. I'm not sure if Lebron intended for the ball to slip between Thompson's legs, but nonetheless it's still an amazing play. Here's Lebron's reaction on Twitter earlier today: https://twitter.com/KingJames/status/969443373068292097
Today in college women's basketball, Aina Bagur had her own Harden moment against Colorado: https://twitter.com/GoDucks/status/969690615494541312
I guess it's breakin' ankles week.
