Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James soared for what could be his best dunk of the year.
Late in the second quarter of the game and with the Sacramento Kings leading 48-45, LeBron attacked the basket without hesitation and threw down the ball with authority. Nemanja Bjelica, unfortunately, was on the wrong end of the King’s highlight reel as he stood in front in hopes of distracting LeBron.
LeBron hasn’t not shown any signs of aging even at 34, and it is clear his athleticism is still there.
Entering Friday’s showdown with the Kings, the Lakers are 9-2 on the season. LeBron, for his part, is averaging 23.9 points, 8.0 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game so far in the season.
While the Lakers did miss the playoffs last year, it’s obvious it helped LeBron rest after years of postseason and finals appearances.
LeBron is healthier and more determined than ever, and he is showing it.
