VIDEO: New Slo-Mo Angle of LeBron's Opening Night Fadeaway on Kawhi Leonard is Incredibly Cinematic
By Adam Weinrib

As if the real-time look at LeBron James taking on Kawhi Leonard one-on-one, for the first time after the two stars officially signed a co-lease on the Staples Center, wasn't enough, the NBA proudly presented us with a better look at things. James scored the deuce here, choosing to cook his adversary all by himself, fading away with a vintage beauty.
This view of Bron's fadeaway on Kawhi. Cinematic.

The mid-range J is dead, unless it's LeBron on Kawhi, mano a mano. That's the rule, we didn't make it.
Though LeBron gave his enemy the work here, Kawhi actually owned a good portion of the first half action, entering the locker room with a lead, and posting 20 points on an effortless selection of shots.
Kawhi was near perfect for the Clips in the 1st half ?

LeBron's main first half highlight, other than this beauty, was losing his mind and firing himself up for the showdown with a scream of all screams during the anthem.
