Indians SS Francisco Lindor 'Dunks' on Reporter During Live Shot

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor has NBA Finals fever.

With the hometown Cavaliers having already locked up their Finals berth, the 22-year-old from Puerto Rico did his best LeBron James impression by posterizing SportsTime Ohio reporter Andre Knott during a live shot in Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Lindor saw an opportunity and took advantage. An off-screen teammate lobbed him what appears to be a piece of gum, and he whacked it off Knott’s head.

King James would be proud.

Give credit to the reporter here, too. He barely blinked and managed to use the “dunk” as a segue.
