WATCH LeBron James embarrassed as Evan Turner leaves him in splits during Hawks vs Lakers

Evan Turner put LeBron James on skates during the LA Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks game on Sunday night. The Hawks were then trailing by 59-36 when Turner scored his driving lay-up. Though the Lakers won the game 122-102, Turner managed to sneak in a highlight. Turner used a behind the back dribble to evade LeBron James, who had assumed that Turner was moving to his right and slipped on the court. Turner went on to score 2 points after a right-handed lay-up over Dwight Howard.
