LeBron James, though still dominant in his own way, has not been shooting his best during the playoffs.

James is shooting only 32.2% from three during the postseason, and is also shooting a subpar 63% from the free-throw line. James’s shooting struggles made it all the more surprising when—during media day for the NBA Finals—James casually sunk a jump shot from half-court.

James hardly loads up before turning around and swishing home the shot from slightly behind the half-court line:

James will take part in his sixth straight NBA Finals—and seventh overall—beginning Thursday.
