Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was initially questionable to play in Sunday night's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, but he sure looks healthy enough.

James has been everywhere throughout the length of the contest, flying around the court and throwing down vicious dunks. He also showcased some of the vision and basketball IQ that have made him one of the greatest passers in NBA history, dropping a between-the-legs to Dwight Howard for a massive jam.

LeBron knew exactly where Howard would be as he trailed the play, looking off Danny Green in the corner and feeding Howard with an on-time delivery that led to the dunk.

James has been at his very best as the Lakers' pseudo point guard this season. In fact, LeBron entered the game as the leader in assists at 10.8 dimes per game. His willingness to make Anthony Davis the focal point of the offensive attack has made the Purple and Gold one of the most dangerous and versatile teams in basketball.

A lot of credit has to go to Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and head coach Frank Vogel.

Pelinka hit on almost all of his free-agent signings, as Davis, Howard and McGee are elite at rolling to the rim and forcing defenders to choose between guarding James or conceding a potential layup or dunk. LeBron also has more perimeter options, with the likes of Danny Green, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Rajon Rondo shooting efficiently from beyond the arc.

For his part, Vogel has not messed around much with his rotations, letting James control the floor and use his combination of athleticism and basketball smarts to dominate the flow of the game.

Those attributes have been on full display for LeBron in Atlanta.
