LeBron James has made a reputation out of the chase-down block. Many have credited the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar with popularizing the spectacular defensive play.

But LeBron might want to pick his spot a little more carefully, especially after Tuesday night. With the Cavs holding on to a six-point lead, Milwaukee Bucks rookie Malcolm Brogdon took James off the dribble and appeared to be attempting a reverse layup. At least, that might have been what LeBron was thinking.

As Brogdon attacked the rim, James followed in the hopes of pulling off another chase-down block. It didn’t go as planned.

Brogdon, a second-round pick out of Virginia, gave everyone a glimpse of his leaping ability earlier in the game, when he jammed on Kyrie Irving in the first quarter.

Brogdon is definitely making a name for himself.
