LeBron’s Mind Games DESTROYED Him… 😭🏀

Gilbert Arenas will never forget the mind game LeBron James pulled on him during one of the biggest moments of their legendary 2006 NBA Playoffs battle. In Game 6 between the Washington Wizards and Cleveland Cavaliers, Agent Zero had already dropped 36 points and forced overtime with a huge three, then stepped to the free-throw line with Washington leading by one and only seconds remaining. After Arenas missed the first free throw, LeBron walked over and told him that if he missed, he knew who was going to hit the game-winner. Gilbert knew LeBron was talking about Damon Jones, a Cavaliers guard who had barely played in the game. Arenas missed again, Cleveland got the ball, and LeBron drew the defense before finding Jones for the jumper that gave the Cavaliers a 114-113 win and sent them to the second round. Years later, Arenas still tells the unbelievable story of LeBron’s confidence and basketball IQ in that clutch moment. From Gilbert Arenas and his Agent Zero prime with the Washington Wizards to a young LeBron James beginning his legendary NBA Playoffs career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, this remains one of the wildest examples of NBA trash talk turning into reality.
