Even for James, the one-legged buzzer beater was an incredible display of peak physical performance at the most clutch possible time.
Moments after the shot, basketball players from across the NBA couldn’t contain their excitement and took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the epic game-winner.

Even before his final shot, the four-time MVP dominated all night. He finished the game with 38 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and three steals.
Thanks to James’ game-winning shot, the Cavs have taken a commanding 3-0 lead over the No. 1 seeded Raptors and will look to close out the series at home on Monday night. While the Raptors are sure to not go down without a fight, considering the way James is playing right now, they may not have much of a chance at avoiding the sweep.
