Jones scored the match-winning shot with less than 5 seconds to go and then proceeded to pointed directly at NBA’s all-time scoring leader before going off to celebrate with his teammates.

“I pointed directly at LeBron and he just shook his head up and down,” Jones said via the Daily Breeze. “He couldn’t say nothing.”

Jones went onto say that “I just shot it and it was just cash.”

Jones also posted the incident on TikTok, which included the reaction of LeBron James. LeBron appeared to nod in approval.

Jones captioned the video “POV: you hit a game winner in front of Lebron” and added several hashtags, including #ipointedatlebron.

Jones scored 7 points during the game, while Bronny James notched up 11.
