Even at 35 years old, Los Angeles Lakers superstar is at the top of his game. The 17th-year pro is able to do things that some players can only dream of, especially at his age. James showed yet another example of this against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.
Early in the third quarter of Wednesday's game, James took Nuggets forward Torrey Craig off the dribble where he was able to muscle his way into the paint and take off for a powerful one-handed slam.

James' dunk was so emphatic that the game had to be momentarily stopped in order for officials to inspect the rim for damage. Perhaps the 35-year-old was still fuming over the trash-talking by Nuggets point guard Monte Morris earlier.
The four-time NBA MVP is having another fantastic season for the Lakers averaging 24.8 points, a career-high 10.7 assists and 7.7 rebounds per game while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 35.0 percent from deep.
James, along with superstar big man Anthony Davis has pushed Los Angeles out to a conference-best 40-12 record through 52 games.
