NBA Finals: LeBron kicks off Game 4 with ridiculous no-look pass to Mozgov (VIDEO)
Inserting Andre Iguodala into the starting lineup is a nice way of countering the presence of LeBron James and to try to boost the offense some for Game 4, but it's not going to make much of a difference if James spends the night doing things like this.
Less than two minutes into Game 4 on Thursday, James made the Golden State Warriors pay for giving him too much attention. Matthew Dellavedova found James in transition, and when Iguodala moved to help Draymond Green on the coverage, James threw a ridiculous no-look pass to Timofey Mozgov for an easy jam.
A pass like this borders on the unsportsmanlike. As if James averaging 41 points in the finals so far wasn't enough, his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates have been stepping up. That's in large part because of the positions James puts them in. Here's another angle:
What can the Warriors do here? James is controlling the pace of the game by dominating the ball for incredible stretches of time, and the odd time they opt to give him more than one-on-one attention, he does things like this.
