In a stellar performance where D’Angelo Russell’s 34 points led the Los Angeles Lakers to a dominant 134-110 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, one highlight stood out—a mesmerizing behind-the-back fake pass by Russell to LeBron James on a fast break, culminating in a layin.
Following the game, LeBron James expressed his admiration for Russell’s unique move.
“His skillset is obvious and his ball handling is very shifty and very nonchalant but he always tries to keep guys off balance with his game, slow-to-quick game definitely keeps guys off balance,” James said.
