The Miami Heat were flaunting their new Blackout jerseys. D-Wade was dribbling at the perimeter in the first quarter against the Bulls. He spotted LeBron James cutting to the basket from the baseline. Even before Lucas could realize what was happening LeBron flew over him for a monstrous alley-oop.
The media and social networks went frenzy over the move and it gave Lucas name "that guy LeBron jumped over" for the infamous dunk. Lucas recollects the memory of the dunk and doesn't feel so good about it.
"Hey, it was a hell of a play. I mean, I haven't watched it in a while, but every time I walk into the locker room—they've got the big picture of him jumping before you enter into the locker room. So, I'm always reminded of what happened here. Juwan Howard pointed it out to me. But, you know, it's part of the game."
