LeBron James Drops Hilarious Response to Cavaliers Star

Allen will probably never quite be able to resemble LeBron on a fast break (or on any part of the court, really), but hey; you have to appreciate the effort.

Allen still managed to put together a fantastic game against the Knicks, scoring 21 points off 10-of-11 shooting while chipping in eight rebounds.

On the season overall, the 26-year-old is averaging 13.9 points and 10 rebounds over 28.6 minutes a night while shooting a league-best 71 percent from the floor.

Cleveland originally acquired Allen in a blockbuster four-team trade in which the Brooklyn Nets landed James Harden back during the 2020-21 campaign.

Allen went on to make the All-Star team in his first full season with the Cavs the following year and has been a stalwart for the Cavaliers ever since arriving, registering 14.9 points and 10.2 boards across 31.1 minutes per game on 65.6 percent shooting.

Cleveland signed the University of Texas product to a three-year, $90 million contract extension last summer, quelling all of the trade talk surrounding the big man.

The Cavs are closing in on the No. 1 overall seed in the Eastern Conference thanks much in part to Allen's contributions.
