Fantastic shot!!!!!
Simply Epic.

Simply put, a brilliant shot.

The only thing that I would change under the most ideal circumstances is to snap the exact same photo minus the cat in the UNC shirt and James with his jersey showing instead of the warmup.

Of course, don't take that as a negative whatsoever; this is better than anything I'll dream of shooting and is an awesome capture.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. Had I taken this shot, even if it was the first shot i took that night...I would have gone home knowing I couldn't beat that.
wow.

Complete and utter awesomeness.

best part is HE IS IN PITTSBURGH!
everyone from pittsburgh hates everyone from cleveland and vice versa
so yes this shot is freakin awesome

KILLER. Though didnt need iso 2500 if you were at 1/800 :-P Might think about dodging him a bit more for some pop, just minor. Overall killer shot

aF

Love this.

Awesome shot, love it.

both are great shots, I would have been proud to have taken those photographs.

You have to take his word for since since he was kinda standing behind him in the tunnel when he took the pic. Besides, even if its not him....its still a fantastic photo.

Because he's not in Cleveland and EVERYONE is trying to touch him. Only legends get that treatment.

funny the difference in opinions from the "People" vs. "Sports" forums of this same image.

I love the dichotomy between the two. I thought People would rip it apart, but instead it was the Sports guys that did. Surprises are fun but it's really interesting to hear what people think and then try to figure out why they think that based on what they shoot(as far as sports vs pj vs portraiture)

And yes, I definitely should've lowered the ISO, fast moving environments will be the end of me, I was shooting inside the tunnel where its pitch black moments before I turned as Lebron walked past.

I don't know why I know it's Lebron, other than to say that I would know what his silhouette should I see it. Plus the Cleveland gives it away for me, who would post a picture of anyone on the Cavs but Lebron?

To those whom it appears tilted, which way? I can't make it out, the edge of the wall on the left looks straight, minus a little pincushion distortion.


it needs a slight counter-clockwise rotation is all.

fantastic capture.
