LeBron James drove to the basket and made a layup at the buzzer to give the Heat a 103-102 win over the Pacers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. NBA players immediately took to Twitter to react to James' basket and the Pacers' decision to keep rim-protector Roy Hibbert on the bench for the final play.

Right when Bron saw them take Hibbert out everybody in the arena knew he was going straight to the rim.

Mike Krzyzewski turned Team USA men's basketball around after a disappointing bronze medal finish in the 2004 games -- now, he's reportedly decided to remain on the team for the 2016 games, despite saying he planned on ending his international career after winning gold in 2012. Can you name every man to coach the team since 1984? Take our quiz now!

The draft lottery has been great to the Cleveland Cavaliers -- they got LeBron James out of it one year, Kyrie Irving in another, and now they've got the No. 1 pick in this year's draft. There's no true standout star from this class (although a healthy Nerlens Noel might qualify), leading to speculation that the Cavs might end up trading the pick -- a move that hasn't been made in 20 years. The Cavs have three other picks in this draft and a lot of cap space, but the lure of picking first might be too strong for them to resist, given how well it's worked for them in the past.
