Miami Heat

LeBron James has done a lot of amazing things. This, however, might be the best. 

LeBron James has done many amazing things during his 17-plus seasons.

There’s overcoming the 3-1 deficit with the Cavaliers, back-to-back championships in Miami and his current sustained level of greatness. But saving someone’s life might be his best move yet.

Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade recounted LeBron’s ‘MacGyver’-like exploits on Saturday while the two were on Instagram Live.

“That s--- got me sweating just now thinking about it,” Anthony said before diving into the story.

The group of friends were in the Bahamas and decided to go swimming in a grotto. Everything was all good — until Anthony got wrapped in a current.

“We couldn’t see you,” Wade chimed in.

“I know,” Anthony replied. “... All type of s--- was going through my head.”

Then LeBron Raymond James happened.

“I look up at the boat and I see Bron jump off the boat like he’s MacGyver,” Anthony continues.

“No like the commercial he did,” Wade quipped.

“Exactly,” Anthony said with a smile. “He jumped off the boat into the water and he was bringing me back with one arm. He swimming with the other arm.”

Ranking LeBron’s accomplishments is difficult. This, however, has to be at the top of the list. Just ask Wade.

“I’ve seen LeBron do a lot of amazing things on the court,” Wade explained. “Off the court, when he went and saved Melo’s life...”

Melo, of course, agreed.

“That was special,” Melo said. “... He saved my life. Yo ‘Bron I appreciate that.”
