LeBron James helped the Cleveland Cavaliers complete one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the NBA Playoffs by blocking Andre Iguodala's shot in the closing minutes of Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

During a recent interview on Uninterrupted's 'Open Run' podcast, James credited one of his teammates for helping make the, now iconic, play happen.

"I always tell J.R. and Shump and Kyrie and all our guards, if you see me running, if you can just make the offensive player just change his momentum just a little bit, it’ll give me enough time to track it. It’ll give me enough time to track it down. "Buy me a second. If you look at the play, J.R. swung over top, and Iguodala had to scrunch just a little bit instead of going up and jamming. And he had to scrunch just a little bit, and that gave me the split second to either – and I was ready."

In addition to giving Smith credit for allowing him the time needed to get back into the play and make the block heard 'round the world, Joe Vardon of cleveland.com reported that James admitted he was worried the referees would whistle him for goal tending.

On James' famous block of Andre Iguodala, he feared the referees would call goal tending.

Fortunately for Cavaliers fans, this is not how the play went down as there is no doubt that sort of call would have help swing momentum back in the favor of the Golden State Warriors.
