It was only a matter of time before LA Lakers players figured out this gimmick. LeBron James recently addressed this trend during the postgame conference after their 119-115 loss vs. the Houston Rockets, using Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving's example.

With the Los Angeles Lakers closing in on the Houston Rockets’ lead late in the fourth quarter, the Lakers trapped Rockets guard Jalen Green in the corner. Green launched a desperate 3-pointer, a would-be airball until Rockets teammate Amen Thompson soared to the rescue and transformed it into a jaw-dropping dunk.
