Rui Hachimura said LeBron told him ‘it’s coming to you’ before his game winner ๐Ÿ‘€ | NBA on ESPN

Mike Chardell. All right, Ruie, I think that might be your first game-winning shot. Take me through the emotions of the moment trying to stay centered as you see LeBron passing the ball. I don’t even know. But that was crazy. I never I never a game winner, but yeah, you know, Braun got there. You know, he he told me that before right before this, they said, “I got you.” Say he’s going to come to you. So, yeah, that’s it. That was it. So, Austin has the basketball. Uh they bring the attention his way. LeBron gets the ball at the top of the key. He could have pulled up and shot it. He could have taken the drive, but it sounds like he already had told you what was going to happen. So, so where at what point did you know where exactly to go and be ready to shoot? I don’t know what it is, but that position I knew it was going to be it was going to come to me. So, I was ready, you know, I kind I got to I had to imagine like how we going to shoot it, whatever. But it was exactly what I what I what I felt it. So, yeah. How do you stay in the moment and make sure that you get your lift with your legs or is it something you don’t even think about? It just kind of happens naturally. Oh, yeah. I just got to you just got to imagine, you know, that’s that’s all I got. All right, let me ask you about Austin Reeves tonight. That was one of the few times that he didn’t score for you. What did he bring? It was crazy. He he he told me that before the game he said he’s a little tired, but I guess he wasn’t. You know, he’s 40, right? Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, that’s crazy. All right, last one for you here, Ruie. You know, Luke is not here. No, Marcus Smart. You guys really had to fight. Toronto’s been second in the East this year. What does this give you to start the road trip? You know, we just we just got this tapped up. We got a hard one coming tomorrow. So, we just got to focus on that. You know, I know Luca’s not going to be here tomorrow. So, we got to get stick together and then we got to get this dub next next one, too. All right. Thanks. Thank you. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

  2. Bron will come to form soon, didnโ€™t get a chance to work out or play ball, these are his first reps back and he always starts slow then gets in rhythm. If he plays like this in January we may have a problem till then no need to overreact.

  3. To see LeBron haters is crazy,๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ when you unselfish playing team organize ball THE RIGHT WAY he still receive negatively can't loose for winning SMH

  5. ใƒซใ‚คใใƒผใƒผใƒผใƒผใƒผใƒผใ‚“๐ŸคฉใƒŠใ‚คใ‚นใ‚ทใƒฅใƒผใƒˆ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

  8. THE REAL STREAK ENDED 2 YEARS AGO AT THE ALLSTAR GAME WHEN LEBRON FAILED TO SCORE 10PTS !! AND THEY STOPPED COUNTING PLAYOFF GAMES WHEN HE SCORED ONLY 4POINTS IN THE FINALS VS DALLAS!.

  13. ใชใ‚“ใฆๅฎŒ็’งใช่จ˜้Œฒใฎ็ต‚ใ‚ใ‚Šๆ–นใชใ‚“ใ ใ€‚ๅ…ซๆ‘ใŒใ“ใฎใ‚ทใƒผใƒณใ‚’็”Ÿใฟๅ‡บใ—ใฆใใ‚ŒใŸใ€‚

  14. Plot Twist: LeBron wanted Rui to miss so they could go to OT and keep his double digit streak aliveโ€ฆ but Rui actually made it ๐Ÿ˜‚

  15. it's wild two days ago the haters had their first time of the year they could hate, and Lebron? immediently shut it down ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ lebron is the GOAT

  18. I do believe Jordan is the best pure basketball player. Kobe is my all time favorite and Lebron has the highest Basketball IQ. My personal Top 3. In no order

  22. I drive and kick it out to a spot up shooter. Lebron is a basketball computer. Weโ€™ve never seen this before. That right there made him the greatest ever. He should send out a tweet and congratulate himself if Klutch hasnโ€™t already done it

  24. No one cares about these meaningless streaks. Wanna be goat. Hes been stat padding all season. Lebron fans are simps. His son is complete trash. Faked his injury because of no extension. Losing finals record.

  27. โ€œโ€ฆcause none of my shots are going inโ€๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
    4/17 on the field,0%behind the arc and they make it seem that he โ€œsacrificedโ€ his streak for that pass?!
    That wouldnโ€™t have hone in and he wouldโ€™ve been laughed at again๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
    GTFO Here with that goat shot๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  33. That's what makes LEBRON the GOAT over Jordan.
    Scoring is easy, but for me ( a long time basketball fan) assists ( willing to share your greatness with others) so that they to can shine.
    The old saying is, when you're blessed, you pass it on.

  36. This record ended in 2014 in the ECF against the Pacers when he only scored 7pts. MJ has the record with 1,041 games INCLUDING THE PLAYOFFS. The media is not including the playoffs for Lebullshit. MJ has this record and there wasn't any hyped about it. Also, in 2011 Lebullshit scored 8 points versus the Mavericks in the Finals too. But, hey who's not counting the Finals or the playoffs? Lebullshit fans!

  38. Good to see LeBron always making the right play it's crazy how people call him selfish it's obvious that he's reserving himself for later in the season he knows he can go out there and score 10 points every game if he likes but it's better to make sure the team stays in rhythm and the other guys exceed in their rules and have confidence it's all about the W

  39. And this is why we don't get rid of Bron. He bailed AR out who got trapped. LeBron made the extra pass for the win. Basketball IQ is the last thing to go. Duncan won 2 rings post prime like this.

  44. ESPN canโ€™t even get the quote right and they have it on VIDEOโ€ฆ he said โ€œitโ€™s gonna come to youโ€
