LeBron James is an excellent dunker. But sometimes, even excellent dunkers miss. That apparently came as a surprise to LeBron, who doinked a dunk on the break on Thursday, but somehow felt he was due a foul call from officials.
That’s what happened at Chesapeake Energy Arena as Cleveland Cavaliers squared off against the Oklahoma City Thunder. While James was out in transition, his missed dunk was so surprising that he tried to take it out on poor Mitchell Ervin.
