LeBron James earned some major praise from opponent George Hill on a night when he uncharacteristically blew two plays at the end of a playoff game.
James turned the ball over in back-to-back possessions to end the Miami Heats 97-93 loss to the Indiana Pacers. On both plays, he threw passes that were snagged by Indianas defense. After the game, Hill was asked how the Pacers were able to defend James in those situations, especially after LeBron burned them twice in a row at the end of Game 1.
George, is there any player in the world more dangerous with the ball in that situation, facing the floor, looking at the defense, than LeBron James? And how do you guys pick him off not once but twice in that situation? a reporter asked him.
Hill responded by comparing James to God.
Yeah, its only like one person thats like more scarier than that, and thats God, said Hill. Im sure if were looking at him in the face wed be very nervous. Im sure he could make all the plays that we want people to make.
But LeBrons a great player. Hes the MVP for a reason. Hes one of the best that ever played this game. Hes a big focal point, and we know that when hes up there probing the floor and looking at everything, that we cant just focus on him. We have to focus on the people around him because hes a great playmaker. He has our full attention.
When asked about Hills remarks, King James said he was far from being a deity.
