Brooklyn Nets big man Nic Claxton hasn't been in the NBA all that long, but he's done one thing that many never have: Dunk on The King, LeBron James. On Christmas Day, Claxton rose above to slam an alley-oop from James Harden that sealed the deal for the Nets in a crucial win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

By no surprise, Claxton was asked about the posterization of LeBron and he revealed that it was hands down the highlight of his career:

Brooklyn somehow managed to beat the struggling Lakers without their scoring machine, Kevin Durant. Patty Mills and Harden alone combined for 70 points while Claxton was massive defensively, registering five blocks.

There's no doubt that he grew up watching LeBron light up the NBA on a yearly basis. Just playing against him is probably a surreal feeling for Claxton but to actually dunk over him is another. You can't blame Claxton for being totally hyped. We also gotta give credit to The Beard for putting up a perfect lob. All the Nets youngster had to do was the dirty work.
