Durant on LeBron's Game 7 block: 'He looked like Batman'
LeBron James' chasedown block on Andre Iguodala Sunday night will go down as one of the iconic plays in both NBA Finals history and as a signature moment in James' legendary career.
Even fellow NBA superstars like Kevin Durant were left in awe.
"He looked like Batman coming out of nowhere," Durant said about Game 7's most defining moment, via ESPN's Royce Young. "Seriously. They got the all black on and he came out of nowhere."
James' Cleveland Cavaliers were decked out in their black, sleeved jerseys for the title-deciding contest.
James was in the right corner on the offensive end when a Kyrie Irving miss sparked a Golden State Warriors fast break featuring Iguodala and Stephen Curry in an 89-89 tie. When Iguodala passed to Curry with 1:54 remaining in the fourth quarter, LeBron was just behind center-court. Less than three seconds later, he was pinning Iguodala's layup attempt against the backboard, while almost smacking his own face on the glass.
The only made field goal to come would be an Irving 3-pointer, before a James free-throw produced the game's final scoreline of 93-89.
