Yes, the best basketball player in the world really made a statement by blocking the shot of a really awkward white guy who averages 6 points a game. :wink:
And then he posed for the cameras instead of getting back on defense.

Hey, all I know is that was an amazing block at a time when that building (and my house) was already on fire and he did get back on offense and got the assist on Ray Allen's 3. And Miami was up 19. For all the times I get pissed about Wade not getting back on D I had zero problem with LeBron posing after just completely and utterly destroying the really large awkward white guy who thought he was gonna throw down a tomahawk on LeBron.

Besides, after LeBron posterized Jason Terry weren't people saying he could only do that if it was on somebody bigger than him? ;)

I LOVE that Miami did that to the Spurs on a night when they were going insane from 3 point range.

I was kidding. I saw a lot of people criticize his posturing on Twitter.

I figured you were. I'm probably overly excited about it, but man that was exciting. As a purely physical feat I think it's one of the most impressive blocks I've seen. The pure strength to be able to do that was insane. It looked like with all that force and momentum Splitter had going it should have broken LeBron's wrist or something.

What can I say?.....it was a supremely nasty block. It will be remembered for a long time and is maybe Lebron's signature finals moment if they go o to win the series. Jordan has the sweeping layup against the Lakers, the shot against the Jazz and the shrug against the Blazers.....Lebron is going to have this nasty ass block.

Lets not get carried away though. Splitter is clearly losing control of the ball as it is squirting out of his little baby hands.

Thanks for the .gif! :thumbsup:

Watching Splitter's face is the best part.

That was painful.

Lets see if that wake up call works....

I'm not at all a fan of Spolestra.

Parker having an MRI on his hammy is pretty alarming if you are a Spurs fan.

I didn't like Spo last year either....or the year before that. Last night was simply an ass whoopin'.

If Parker is out, that's huge....

Clearly it's his fault that the Spurs couldn't miss from 3.

Going into this series I figured each team would blow out the other once. I just wish it happened with the Heat up 2-1. Oh well. I think Miami needs to win both 4 and 5 or I really don't like their chances.
