LeBron Tried To Imitate Michael Jordan’s Eyes Closed Free Throw, But Missed Badly

Last night it was announced that LeBron James has been placed into the NBA’s health and safety protocols after testing positive for Covid-19.

So LeBron will likely miss the next 10 to 14 days (at least), and wasn’t available to play last night’s game against the Sacramento Kings.

But during Sunday’s game against the Detroit Pistons, LeBron appeared to channel his inner Michael Jordan when he attempted to shoot a free throw with his eyes closed. Unlike Michael Jordan, who shot 83.5% from the line over the course of his career, James isn’t an elite free throw shooter at 73.3% for his career.

Just like in these past three seasons, where LeBron failed to hit the 70% FT mark, James also missed his ‘blind’ attempt.
