LeBron James on Jarrett Allen's Block: 'It's Probably All Over Social Media'

Nets second-year center Jarrett Allen did something incredibly rare on Tuesday night in his team's 115–110 win over the Lakers: He blocked a LeBron James dunk.

According to ESPN Stats and Information, Allen, 20, was just the eighth player to block the King. James has only been denied nine times in 1,850 dunk attempts in his career.

James told reporters after the game that he knew it was a big deal–big enough to wind up all over social media (which it did).

"He's in his 20s; I'm in my 30s," James said.
