But now we&#8217;ve learned that the reason why LeBron took the shot and turned to the Lakers&#8217; bench was because teammate Dennis Schroder threw out an instantaneous challenge to James, a bet that LeBron took.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I told him to bet a Benjamin on it, so he shot it,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/30702626\/lebron-james-channels-inner-steph-curry-hits-ridiculous-3-pointer-win-bet\">confessed Schroder after L.A.&#8217;s 117-100 victory<\/a>. &#8220;Shot it and turned around and said, &#8216;Bet.&#8217; Then, it went in. It&#8217;s just legendary.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bet was for $100, which probably what James makes in the time it takes to simply turn around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I took the bet while I was still shooting the ball,&#8221; said James. &#8220;A bet isn&#8217;t official until you look a man in the eye, so I had to look him into the eye, and I was able to win that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After staring at Schroder, the shot dropped, LeBron got some dap and ran down the court as his excited teammates tried to mob him.<\/p><div id=\"first-1815745332\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Everybody had fun,&#8221; said Schroder. &#8220;Everybody was talking about it, even during timeouts.
