LeBron: Save and Assist

Saving the ball from going out-of-bounds under your own basket is a dangerous play, and often discouraged by coaches.

The alternative?

You can throw the ball to the opposite end of the court to give your teammates a chance to claim the rock in safter territory. Well, LeBron James did just that last night off a beautiful Chris Bosh block, and wound up hitting Dwyane Wade in stride for the breakaway dunk. 

Perfect play? No doubt. Strategic? We'll let you decide. Check it out above.
