LeBron James credits Steph Curry after sinking no-look 3-pointer

After hitting a no-look triple against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, Lakers forward LeBron James credited Warriors guard Steph Curry.

During the Los Angeles Lakers’ tilt against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, LeBron James added a new highlight to his already deep catalog. During the second quarter, James drilled a triple from the corner in Houston. While it may look like a normal 3-pointer, the four-time Most Valuable Player added a different wrinkle.

Before the shot swished through the bottom of the net, James turned his back to the basket. The successful no-look jumper from James set the Lakers bench into a frenzy. The Lakers forward later explained Dennis Schroeder made an in-game bet with James about the no-look shot.

If you’re a fan of the Golden State Warriors, the turn-away 3-pointer from James might have looked familiar. Throughout his career, Steph Curry has drilled his fair share of no-look jumpers.

Following the Lakers’ 117-100 victory over the Rockets, James credited the Golden State Warriors sharp-shooting point guard when talking about no-look 3-pointers. When James was asked about who he associates the turn-away style shot with, the reigning NBA champion praised Curry’s shooting talent.

Steph [Curry] has definitely probably done it the most in our league. When you shoot the ball as beautiful and effortlessly and precisely as Steph does, he has the ultimate ultra-green light to do that because 10 times out of nine, it’s going in for Steph.

After closing out a seven-game homestand on Tuesday, Curry and the Golden State Warriors will meet James and the defending NBA champions on Monday for the final game of a three-stop road swing.
