Eddie House Spanks LeBron to the Ground

It was a moment soaked in drama.  The Bulls, trailing 2-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals, switched into desperation mode as they trailed by 6 points in overtime with less than a minute left.  The reigning MVP blew past LeBron and soared to the rim, only to be detonated by Dwyane Wade at the rim.

Expect to see this clip again in all manner of NBA highlight reels and compilation clips.

But there's something else going on here.  What was that going on in front of the Heat bench, shortly after the scramble that netted the Heat possession of the ball?

Eddie House comes over to celebrate with LeBron.  But the play is still live, and James is trying to get set to head back down court.  That's when the fun begins:




Well done, Eddie.  I knew they would find a role for you on this Heat team.  We just didn't know that it would be designated spanker.  You should be proud; not everyone is strong enough to knock over LeBron.  Boozer wishes he could foul him hard enough to prevent the And-1's.  Here's a grainier closeup:
