In his 17th appearance in the NBA All-Star Game. Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James continues to dazzle fans with his athleticism. And not just that, but he also guided his team to a first-quarter victory.

On the break, James casually spiked the ball with a reverse slam. It's an impressive dunk, especially the mileage on James' body. It would've been understandable if he just sat out to rest. But James wanted to continue entertaining the fans tuning in to the All-Star Game.

Apart from the flashy dunks, James also got his All-Star teammates involved. As Chris Webber said, James is known to be one of the best passers of all time. And he showcased his passing in a bounce-pass alley-oop to Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert.

Thanks to James' efforts, his team won, 40-39. For those not updated, the NBA modified the All-Star Game's format. The team that wins a quarter will receive $150,000 for its charity of choice. Team LeBron chose Thurgood Marshall College Fund as their charity.

It's a little tweak that the league made to make sure the All-Star game remains competitive the entire game. While it's nice to see a million highlights, fans would love to see what it's like when the best of the best are going at each other.
