IT WAS a shot that launched a thousand tweets.
As Game 5 came down the wire, LeBron James kicked the ball out to Danny Green, who froze time for Lakers fans as he launched a wide-open three — that thudded solidly off the rim.
Now, he's a trending topic on Twitter, along with the keyword 'Danny Brick.' Ouch.
The hotly contested Game 5, which saw both teams put up a spectacular show as they fought each other to the end, was a showstopper for the ages. The Twitter trending charts are on fire right now with hoops-related Tweets, including 'HeatTwitter', 'LeBron', 'Kobe', 'Heat in 7', 'Kuzma', and more.
Pack up the confetti and champagne for another day, Walt Disney World. The Heat survived this one.
