LeBron James Broke Thabo Sefolosha's Ankles (and Spirit) During Tonight's Cavaliers/Hawks Game

King James turns Thabo into a court jester.

1.

Last week, LeBron James addressed questions regarding his athleticism, saying, "I'm not the 18-year-old kid that I was before. But I can still do the things I need to do to be successful." During tonight's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks, James showed us exactly what he meant when he made that comment.

With the Hawks' Thabo Sefolosha on the defense, LeBron didn't try to overpower his way through or speed right by him. Instead, James used a little finesse and some fancy dribbling to force Sefolosha into some involuntary Riverdance, causing Thabo's ankles to crumble right where he stood.  

Sefolosha tried getting up real quick like no one was going to notice, but everyone noticed, fam. Ev-ery-one.
