Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James might be one of the best basketball players of all time, but he’s also human.
During Thursday night’s Game 2 of the Western Conference finals against the Denver Nuggets, James tried to go up for a dunk and whiffed in the most spectacular way possible.
It’s just bizarre to see a player of James’ magnitude so epically miss an easy bucket like this on such a big stage. It’s not to say a player as talented as James can’t post an in-game blooper like this, but it’s still one of those surprising moments that make you do a double take.

As you could imagine, the internet lit up like a firework at the sight of James making such a hilarious blunder on national television.
He’d already inspired a new meme during the game, and now he’d given NBA fans something else to talk about.
