Is there anything LeBron James can't do? The 36-year-old Los Angeles Lakers superstar turned back the hands of time once again with a monster putback jam off the backboard against the Denver Nuggets.
The King timed his run to perfection and cleaned up a miss from Dennis Schroeder as he punched in a slam in transition.

The four-time league MVP is definitely aging like fine wine, as he's been spoiling Lakers fans with highlights almost every time he steps on the court. Despite the miles on his body, James continues to dominate and is showing no signs of aging, averaging 25.6 points per game this season.
LeBron James has carried the load once again for the Lakers in their pursuit of defending their 2020 NBA title. Prior to Sunday's showdown with the Nuggets, they've won their last seven games. For what it's worth, the reigning Finals MVP is logging in an average of 39 minutes per game in the said last stretch that saw LA play in three overtime contests.
With Anthony Davis being in and out of head coach Frank Vogel's lineup due to an Achilles issue, James has put the Laker squad on top of his broad shoulders. They sit at the second spot of the Western Conference behind the red-hot Utah Jazz.
