Avery Bradley isn’t quite on LeBron James’ level, but for one brief moment Saturday, the former got the better of the latter.
With the Boston Celtics attempting to hold off a furious Cleveland Cavaliers comeback in the second half at Quicken Loans Arena, Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas found Bradley on the left wing.
That’s when Bradley went to work, shaking James with a mean crossover before burying a deep jumper.

That’s one way to score on one of the best basketball players in the world. As it usually does, Twitter enjoyed watching James get exposed.
Bradley, of course, victimized the Cavs in their last meeting by drilling a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from the corner to help the Celtics pull off the upset win.
Fortunately for Bradley in this case, the officials didn’t notice Thomas delivering a pretty solid elbow to Cavs guard Iman Shumpert to clear the way for Bradley’s highlight-reel crossover. Nice work, Isaiah.
