LaMelo Ball lets his play speak for itself against LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers

Kyle Kuzma cocked his arm back like a quarterback about to hit a tight end on a go route. His target was LeBron James, and the Los Angeles Lakers ' star had a step on LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets.

Not many defenders in any sport are going to stop James when he gets a step ahead with a head of steam going downhill. But Ball gave it a shot, reaching his arm out behind him to try and slow James down while simultaneously pivoting and sprinting back on defense.
