LeBron James isn't ashamed of botching a dunk.
... even if it was a wide-open breakaway attempt, like the one in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics.
"I think I missed one in Boston before," the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar told reporters following Tuesday's 112-99 victory at The Q.
"I've missed a couple of dunks in my career. Think I've made more than I've missed, though, so the percentages are pretty good."
He's correct. That misfired slam marked only his seventh this season, while he successfully threw down 160 dunks in 2016-17 entering the contest.
