Since entering the NBA back in 2003, LeBron James has been one of the best in-game dunkers in the league and often gets fans on their feet whenever he's on a fastbreak.

That was the case with 4:18 left in the third quarter of Game 4 between his Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, The King caught the ball from a good outlet pass from Kevin Love, and made his approach to the rim for a tomahawk slam, but he muffed it and sent the ball straight up into the air to the surprise of the sold out Quicken Loans Arena crowd.

As such, Twitter exploded with reactions as users did not hold back in letting their feelings known about seeing James miss the wide open dunk.

He may have missed the dunk, but it just goes to show that he is also human after all. James more than made up for that play by bouncing back from his poor performance in Game 3, and finished with 34 points, six assists and five rebounds on the night. More importantly for him and the Cavs, they now have a commanding 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Semifinals and will look to eliminate the top seeded Celtics team on Thursday night.
