Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski channels LeBron with emphatic chase-down block

Brandin Podziemski never will be confused for LeBron James, but for a 20-second sequence during Tuesday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Warriors guard did his best impression of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar.Early in the second quarter at Chase Center, the Warriors turned the ball over and veteran point guard Chris Paul thought he had an easy fastbreak layup. But Podziemski had other ideas.

When he came up empty, it opened up a clear path to the basket for Podziemski, who drove and finished with an up-and-under layup around Clippers center Ivica Zubac.Podziemski had a solid first half against the Clippers, finishing with seven points on 3 of 5 shooting from the field and 1 of 2 from 3-point range to go along with two rebounds, one assist and the emphatic block.His lone 3-pointer beat the first-quarter buzzer.
