Beyond the physical abilities, this is what separates LeBron from so many others (re: dishing to Korver at the end of the game last night):

"If I could have the play over again, I would come off a screen situation. Draymond [Green] would switch on me with five fouls. I would get him leaning. I would drive left. I would see [Durant] step up. I would see Stephen Curry drop on Kevin [Love]. And I would see Kyle Korver in the corner, one of the greatest 3-point shooters in this league's history, and give him an opportunity in the short corner," James said, explaining what he saw on the play.

"I would do the same exact thing."

Korver shot 59 percent on left corner 3-pointers during the season, the best in the NBA among players with at least 40 such attempts. In the playoffs, Korver was 7-of-14 on 3-pointers from the left corner before taking that shot.​

His court vision and awareness is unparalleled. As always, he makes the right play - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It was still the right play.

***Disclaimer: this thread is not about Michael Jordan. I don't care if you think Michael Jordan is better than LeBron James.***
