Did LeBron James just throw shade at the greatest basketball player to ever live?

"Don’t start that,” he said when asked during the post-game press conference. “Absolutely not, man, absolutely not."

The Miami Heat were leading the Charlotte Bobcats 66-49 when James was able to break out for an uncontested dunk.

The Heat went on to win the game 98-85 to take a 3-0 lead in this playoff series.
