Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is out here doing what LBJ does best.
While not quite an off the backboard rejection like he has done several times throughout his career, James blocked another layup attempt from behind, this time on Miami Heat rookie Tyler Herro.

LeBron showed his strength and agility in the play, emphatically rejecting the attempt while avoiding contact with anything other than the ball so as to not draw a foul. This will not be the last time the Lakers star makes a play like this, though, as he he has always been known as a great defender.
This is one of many facets of LeBron's game that has made him one of the greatest players in NBA history. With another title, even some of his most ardent detractors will have to acknowledge his greatness.
Prior to Game 3 of the NBA Finals, the Lakers took a 2-0 lead after dominating their first two matches against the Heat. The Purple and Gold have been the odds-on favorites to win the championship throughout the season and playoffs, and they have not disappointed yet.
Barring something miraculous happening, it looks like LeBron James will win the fourth championship of his professional career. That will solidify his place in NBA history, as he has already made more Finals than two-thirds of the league's other franchises.
