LeBron James is hardly immune to making a scene while watching his kids' basketball games. Like so many other parents, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar has been known to occasionally get a bit too excitable, inspiring meme after meme about “LeDad.”

On Saturday, though, James scratched his competitive itch in a far more direct manner, hopping in the layup line with his son Bronny's AAU team to show out for some highlight-reel dunks.

It makes sense that James would feel the need to get in some extra work on the court. He was at home watching the playoffs for the first time since 2004 last season, and had taken part in each of the last eight NBA Finals. His summers are normally spent recovering from the rigors of playing postseason basketball at its highest level rather than taking in the action from the couch and getting a head start on preparation for the upcoming season.

It's a good sign that James is feeling spry enough for an impromptu dunk-off, by the way. He missed 17 straight games last season after straining his hamstring on Christmas, by far the longest stretch he's been forced to the sideline during his 16-year career. Though James later returned to the floor, he clearly wasn't 100 percent, and shut it down shortly thereafter as it became clear the Lakers, who fell out of playoff position when he was injured, weren't going to advance to the postseason.

At 34, is LeBron James no longer the athlete he was 10 or even five years ago? Absolutely. But as he made abundantly clear on Saturday, he can still get up like few others in the NBA – and far more importantly, seems fully healthy, too.
