Watch LeBron James Run Down George Hill for Insane Fastbreak Block

Jesse DorseyMay 28, 2013

The Indiana Pacers rode a huge third quarter to a seven-point lead over the Miami Heat in Game 4, but LeBron James walked away with the highlight of the night thanks to a bad decision from George Hill.

With the Pacers picking up one of the few transition opportunities that they get on a game-to-game basis, it seemed as if an easy jumper was in order as Hill led the break.

Instead of picking a spot and knocking in a short jumper, Hill decided to challenge LeBron, who was standing ominously at the rim.

Now, if you've seen any defensive highlight from LeBron within the past five or six years, you know that it's a terrible idea for a 6'2" guard to challenge the 6'8" behemoth that is James.

You know how things go from here. Hill takes the ball into LeBron's chest, which, of course, leads to a heinous block.

LeBron needed to fingerwag after that one.

Don't bring that Kool Aid to a gin party, Hill.

Even crazier, the block forces the ball toward the sideline, leading Paul George to commit a foul on Allen.

Frank Vogel doesn't like that call, so he earns himself a technical foul. So yea, it was kind of a big play.

We could have a five or six-point swing just because George Hill wanted to challenge LeBron with a layup.

Next time, just settle for the jumper. Or better yet, go ahead and set up the offense.
