VIDEO: LeBron James Inexplicably Wanders Onto Court Instead of Inbounding Ball for Bizarre Turnover

The Los Angeles Lakers took down the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday in a game that was close right up until the end. LeBron James was a big reason the Lakers won. He also nearly hurt his team late in the game after a bizarre moment where he forgot the rules of basketball and wandered onto the court instead of inbounding the ball.

This came immediately after an incredibly long, momentum-sinking replay review that awarded the Lakers the ball, too. Of course it did.

Lakers beat the Pelicans 122-114 to sweep season series vs. New Orleans 4-0 and improve to 46-13 overall. LeBron 34p 13a 12r 2s (13th trip-dub); Kuz 20p 4r; KCP 12p 3s; Green 10p; Morris 10p; AB 10p; JaVale 8p 6b; Dwight 8p 6r. NOP: Zion 35p on 12-of-16; Lonzo 19p 9r 9a

What is he doing here? Any other player doing this late in a game may have caused James to lose his mind. Instead, he had to accept what he did and pray it didn't lead to a Lakers loss. A worse game from James may have made this a disastrous play for the Lakers instead of a brain fart that didn't matter in the end.

Is this a deleted scene from "Space Jam 2"?
