"You know he about to shoot when he stare at the motherf***er" - Paul George calls LeBron James's move the toughest shot to guard in the league
Paul George and LeBron James have had great battles against each other throughout their careers in the NBA. When asked by some of his friends about which LeBron's move was hard to stop, George had an interesting answer.
PG-13 has shared some interesting stories on his podcast, Podcast P with Paul George. He recently shared with his listeners the move that the LA Lakers All-Star forward does that can't be stopped by anyone.
The LA Clippers forward claimed that James' look-down three was the toughest shot to stop.
"It's so effective, though. What's the percentage on it? Like, I've never seen him miss it," George said. "You know he about to shoot when he stare at that motherf*****. He knows what time it is."
PG agrees that LeBron has the best signature move in the NBA 😂🔥

"I've never seen him miss it," he added. "Cause when he do it, like, 'What the f*** you looking at?'... It's so effective bro. Funniest clip with Bron, have y'all seen that? It was like a meme where, 'This how old players score or this how old players throw you off.' He dribbling like he's tired and he just blow [by you]."
Unlike other signature shots, LeBron's look-down three can be seen by defenders from a mile away. But it still often catches defenders off-guard, which results in a made basket for the 19-time All-Star. The four-time MVP has made the move countless times, but defenders haven't figured out a counter for it.
Aside from the look-down three, James also has a tomahawk dunk that he usually brings out on a fastbreak opportunity. Another signature move that the four-time NBA champion is known for is his chasedown blocks. His chasedown block on Andre Iguodala in the 2016 Finals has become iconic.
