00:19just sort of, like, ambling

undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsubstitution on the fly.
00:31- Very cool.
00:32If anyone is gonna do it, it's him.
00:34- It was November of 2015.
00:36Third quarter, halfway through.
00:37Cavs are up 26 points.
00:40A teammate passes him the ball.
00:41It's a little off target.
00:43Turnover, Hawks' ball.
00:46And LeBron has just had enough
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770

undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined- and he gets up
01:02and he just, he's already
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770

undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand runs to get on the court,
01:23but the play's already started.
01:24Hawks have already inbounded the ball.
01:26- Sure.

undefined:undefinedfour guys, that's a technical.
01:55- Yes. And so this-
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined56
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsure. And they bury it.
02:08Errors involving the
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined62
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined- And there's a totally
02:20different rule for if
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined66
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedme that it feels like
02:28I understand why neither team
02:30should have six players on the court.
02:32But I think if the defensive team
02:35has a player who just walks off the court,
02:38that is their choice.
02:39Their penalty should be
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined76
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddisadvantage to begin with,
02:55where it does seem like more of a penalty
02:58to just let that team continue
03:00to try to play with four people.
03:03Big ups to the Hawks also to just kind of,
03:06just keep playing.
03:07It's very possible they didn't
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined85
undefined:undefined86
undefined:undefined87
undefined:undefined88
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpart of this moment
03:25comes as LeBron is approaching the bench.
03:29There's not an open seat.
03:30- (Ryan laughs) Right.
03:31He's sort of like, "Yo, my guy,
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined98
undefined:undefined99
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof like, yo dude, you're up.
03:47Do you think he meant to call
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined103
undefined:undefined104
undefined:undefined105
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhave probably gotten up,
04:06very confused, I'm sure.
04:08But he would have the seat.
04:10He would have the chair.
04:11- The coach would know the drill.
04:12There would be a tearaway suit,
04:14uniform already on underneath it.
04:17He would be the Jefferson in that scenario
04:19'cause I think you are totally right.
04:21Like, whatever chair he was going to,
04:23that was gonna be his
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined120
undefined:undefined121
undefined:undefined122
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto see what would happen
04:51if like a really terrible
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770

undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined138
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined- Oh, classic!
05:16- The ball is missing?
05:18Like the rest of that GIF,
05:19being him just walking
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770

05:44because he was just that done.
05:46The only thing that

undefined:undefined156
undefined:undefined157
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand the blimp shows him
05:59going from stadium to
undefined:undefined00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,770
undefined:undefined162
undefined:undefined163
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedjust walking away from it.
06:17- There is no clearer
