Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James currently has a lot of time in his hands, and one of the things he's doing is reminiscing on one of his dunks from nine years ago.
The three-time NBA champ, who is currently sidelined with a groin injury, took to Twitter to react on a post by Timeless Sports, looking back on an insane alley-oop finish by James back when he was with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010.
Unfortunately, the dunk didn't count, but it was still a highlight nonetheless.

We could probably do a 10-year Challenge with this one and still not notice any difference. LeBron James, at the age of 34, amazingly still hasn't lost a step, and certainly hasn't lost his hops.
As mentioned, though, James is currently recovering from an injury that has kept him out of the Lakers' lineup since he strained his groin in their Christmas showdown against the Golden State Warriors. The best player in the world has missed 14 consecutive games since. The LeBron factor is still very much in effect, as the Lakers are now 5-9 without their superstar leader.
The Lakers will certainly need his presence back as they have fallen to ninth place on the West standings during his absence. Before his injury, Los Angeles was sitting at fourth following the huge holiday win over the defending champs.
