LeBron James brings out a baseball assist during a battle against the Rockets

The Los Angeles Lakers close out their first-round series in convincing fashion, with a reminder that LeBron James is still capable of delivering moments few players in league history can replicate. In Game 6 against the Houston Rockets, James produced one of the most talked-about plays of the night with a full-court “baseball pass” that cut through Houston’s defense and set up an easy scoring opportunity for Rui Hachimura. It was the kind of play that blended vision, timing, and arm strength, and it quickly became a defining highlight of the Lakers’ 98-78 win.
