Cavs Star Goes Viral Imitating LeBron James

Originally posted on Athlon Sports  |  By Paul White  |  Last updated Apr 3, 2025 10:43 AM ET

The Cleveland Cavaliers took on the New York Knicks on Wednesday night in a highly anticipated matchup between two of the Eastern Conference’s top teams. 

Unfortunately, the Knicks star point guard Jalen Brunson has been dealing with an ankle injury and missed the contest, but it didn’t take away from the game at all.

The game was tightly contested for three quarters with Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Josh Hart giving it their all trying to keep the game close. 

Eventually in the fourth quarter, Cleveland pulled away and secured a 19-point victory. 

In a game that was rather uneventful due to Brunson’s injury, Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen went viral with a hilarious play.

During the game, Allen got the rare chance to run the fast break and he made the most of his opportunity by throwing down a tomahawk dunk. 

After the game the Cavs big man commented on his play and said in his mind, he wanted to imitate Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James’ famous tomahawk.

He then admitted that when he saw the replay it “wasn’t close.”

It definitely wasn’t bad enough to be a “Shaqtin a Fool” contender but it was a far cry away from being reminiscent of the king.

Allen has had a number of viral clips and pictures over the years, but this one might take the cake. 

It isn’t often that he gets to run out in the open court and show his athleticism, but the one chance he had he made himself a viral sensation.
