LeBron James - Game 2 buzzer beater vs. Magic (05/22/09) HQ

LeBron James hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Cavs a 96-95 win over the Magic in Game 2 to tie the East finals.

Michael Jordan no longer has the most famous buzzer-beater in Cleveland sports history. The Shot has been topped.

DETAILS: James dropped a 3-pointer from the top of the key over Orlandos Hedo Turkoglu as the final horn sounded Friday night to give the Cavaliers, their season a heartbeat from major trouble, a 96-95 victory over the Magic that evened the Eastern Conference finals at one game apiece.

From 23 feet—matching his jersey number and Jordans—James hit a shot that will go down as one of the defining moments in a career thats just hitting its stride.

[MrSayoful]

@jwood504 woah now

didn't even attempt?

lebron took out so much money out of the salary cap, they brought in shaq when he was like 70 because shaq was the only guy willing for taking a low money contract, gotta know your facts before you criticize a team buddy

@jwood504 Very true statement, the Cavs could've surrounded him with talent and decided not to.

[jwood504]

Everyone needs 2 stop hating on lebron. He just left the 7 horrible years he had with the cavs behind. He wanted a better team so he went with Miami. And beside the people who hates the guy can't even do half the things lebron can do so just stop it. And anyway it's the cavs fault 4 not even attempting to surround him with decant players. For the record lebron is not my favorite player.
