Luckily for him, the latest thing he did for the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> happened after a whistle.<\/p>\n

There will be no statistical record of this time that the King shot up a left-handed 3-pointer.<\/p>\n

The normally righty James caught the ball on the right wing at the end of a play and figured, “Why not?”<\/p>\n
