LeBron James makes a crazy pass to Joel Embiid

LeBron James is a basketball savant and there is no other way to speak about his overall greatness on the court. The Team USA star can read the game, make an insane pass and score as good as anybody in the world.

The second quarter against Puerto Rico was a testament to James' overall greatness. He made an impossible pass to Joel Embiid and did it with such ease that it seemed like an easy one.

During one of the plays, James had the ball and was being defended on the play. With his back turned towards the basket, James did what he usually does; wait for the defense to make a mistake.

Once the defender lost his attention from Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers star cut to the basket and James made an insane pass. With his back still turned towards the basket, James made a pass behind his back. Embiid caught the ball and scored an easy point.
