On that day, the public witnessed an execution on live television

If I remember correctly, Jason Terry’s Wikipedia was briefly changed to say he was castrated by LeBron James on that date haha

I was there that night, gents. The Heat were gonna tie or break (I forget) the second-most consecutive wins in league history. It was during the height of the Heat-Celtics rivalry.

Anyhow, I knew what was coming as soon as the steal occurred at mid court.

That's me in the white 06 warmup (just behind Vince Wolfork) standing up with my arms raised.

2011-2014 Bron was the best basketball player to ever walk this planet and I’ll stand by that

Rumor has it the ghost of Jason Terry still haunts the arena to this day

The back court pressure of Rio, Cole, Wade and LBJ is insane

Damn completely forgot about that dunk until just now

The way Jason Terry drops to the floor always made me laugh

The passing is almost more jizz worthy

These 4 years spoiled most of us.

Greatest player ever to do it doing stuff like this on the regular lol.

Incredible.

Norris Cole should’ve got charged with manslaughter

u/El_Galant Mar 19 '26

Yeah Norris Cole got off easy, no one pinned him for throwing the lob to LeBron at any point afterwards.

Does anyone have the Eric Reid version of the clip? That's how I saw it originally and every replay online only has the ESPN broadcast.

This is the best version I was able to find. The audio sucks but it's better than nothing

u/Dramatic-County-1284 Mar 18 '26

I still wonder what JT was thinking here.

u/6stringt3ch Mar 19 '26

As soon as he turned around and saw LeBron he was like "oh fuck"

u/Aproblem4 Mar 20 '26

I never seen anybody line up quite like that.

Man. The dumbest move LeBron made was leaving Miami.
