Jody Genessy: LeBron James' pain is the internet's gain

If anything has become clear during the NBA Finals, it's that LeBron James’ pain was the internet’s gain.

Though the series has moved on — Game 3 is Wednesday night in Cleveland — the moment from Game 1 that will remain etched in sports’ fans memories continues to be the hot topic of the championship duel between the Cavaliers and Warriors.

Even Bill Buckner, Wrong-Way Marshall, Steve Bartman and the NBC employee who infamously allowed the "Heidi" movie to interrupt the end of the Jets-Raiders thriller couldn't believe J.R. Smith did what he did.

Heck, Chris Webber even knew Smith — or anyone on the Cavaliers — should have used up the final timeout after it became painfully obvious that the Cleveland guard seemed as confused as the Browns' front office.
