Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James' vicious spin move has been on full display during the 2020 playoffs and it's helped the team rack up a 7-2 record thus far entering Saturday's Game 5 against the Houston Rockets.

During an interview with Dave McMenamin of ESPN, James talked about his deadly spin move, admitting he has no idea when he started to use it as part of his arsenal.

“I have no f—ing idea,” LeBron James says when asked about his increase in spin moves.

“I'm going to be completely honest. I have no idea when that became such a big part of my semi-transition. It's a very effective move because of my size and my speed. [The majority] of the time, it's successful. I've been unsuccessful with it a few times where guys have gotten a block or I haven't gotten enough body contact and they've been able to challenge it a little bit more. But … it's a pretty successful shot for me. Very balanced.”

James may be 35 years old and in his 17th season in the NBA, but he's still a freight train in the open court. This spin move he's been using is pretty much unstoppable since it's hard for opponents to time it.

LeBron and the Lakers can advance to the Western Conference Finals by defeating the Rockets in Game 5. James is averaging 26.3 points, 10.2 rebounds and 9.0 assists in the playoffs while shooting 55.9 percent from the field, 37.0 percent from beyond the arc and 71.2 percent from the free throw line.
