If you’re of the thought that LeBron James second- guessed himself a bit too much during the NBA Finals and shied away from making big moves in the moments that mattered, this video of him sheepishly taking minutes to jump off a diving platform in front of a large crowd in Barcelona, Spain, won’t please you.
Despite a giant crowd chanting, “Jump! Jump! Jump!” the King spends about two and half minutes walking up to the edge, walking back, and contemplating the dive into the pool below. He doesn’t jump until one of his friends takes the leap before him.
Maybe we’re reading way too much into this, but we kind of want a guy leading the Miami Heat who walks right up to the end of the diving board and takes the plunge without thinking. Then again, maybe we should be thankful James is extra-careful about not hurting himself during the lockout.
