LeBron disagrees with Wall: Game-tying shot 'not 1 in a million for me'

Some people need luck to hit big shots.

LeBron James isn't one of those people.

The Cleveland Cavaliers icon banked in this incredible contested, turnaround, fading 3-point shot to send Monday's game against the Washington Wizards to overtime.

Following the Cavs' 140-135 victory, Wizards point guard John Wall marveled at the regulation-ending shot.

"LeBron made a heck of a shot that you probably make one in a million times," he told reporters postgame, as quoted by The Associated Press.

James dismissed that notion.

"(It's) not one in a million for me ... maybe somebody else," he said Wednesday, according to Cavs play-by-play announcer Fred McLeod.

King James knows how hard he works, and how many times he practices plays like that.

That shot took preparation, not luck.
