VIDEO: Rudy Gay catches Cavs napping with 360 jam

Leaving Rudy Gay alone in the corner is seldom a good idea, even if he may not be known as one of the league's premier 3-point shooters.
LeBron James found that out the hard way Friday, abandoning Gay and winding up on the wrong end of a highlight as a result.
James cheated way off of Gay in the right corner, where he's 4-of-11 on the season, to provide some early help on the weak side of a Sacramento Kings pick-and-roll. Ramon Sessions then fired Gay a terrific pass as Gay cut baseline, setting him up for an unimpeded 360 jam.
It's the Kings, and it's Gay. Short of a hard-double on DeMarcus Cousins, it's probably best not to leave Gay, the team's second-leading scorer, under any circumstance.
