Being selected for the All-Star Game 20 times in a row is a unique distinction for LeBron James, who made history with his 20th consecutive NBA All-Star appearance. In Indianapolis, the 39-year-old played 14 minutes in the Eastern Conference’s victory over the West. Well-known for his amazing shots, James never would have imagined going for airball.
This historic 20th visit did not include the LeBron James that supporters have been familiar to seeing over time. Against the East, he scored eight points and was eliminated. James, who has previously demonstrated amazing effectiveness with the move, unexpectedly found himself in an unusual struggle at 9:17 of the first quarter while attempting a solo alley-oop.
Unguarded beneath the basket, James misread his shot and botched the score. The four-time league MVP attempted a deep three-pointer but missed the mark by a wide margin. Fans in Indiana could be heard gasping aloud, and they flocked to social media to talk about the miscalculation.
Not only did he miss the shot, but he also failed to make his trademark slam. Los Angeles Lakers star James, who is renowned for his incredible dunks and mind-blowing athleticism, tried one of his signature moves: he threw the ball over the backboard to himself for an incredible dunk. But once again, things didn’t exactly go as expected. The incident acted as an indication that mistakes are unavoidable, even for the best players in the game.
