LeBron James returned to old stomping grounds on Friday night in the Los Angeles Lakers' matchup with the Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena. After embracing former teammate Chris Bosh, it was time to go to work. James, 34, busted out his long-range passing skills, delivering a perfect full-court pass to new All-Star teammate Anthony Davis for a bucket and the foul.

Bosh must have been impressed by the pass, although he undoubtably is used to James' all-around talents during their time as “Heatles,” winning back-to-back championships.

James' full-court pass is also reminiscent to his time sharing the court with Kevin Love, the much-rumored power forward of the Cleveland Cavaliers who would trade outlet passes with LeBron during their stint together in northeast Ohio.

James and the Lakers were losing at halftime to the Heat, however, so it will take more than flashy, full-court passes to get the job done in South Beach.
