The Los Angeles Lakers carved right through the heart of the hapless and fangless Golden State Warriors. LeBron James and Ci. played around the injury-riddled team as they won, 94-120 in front of an adoring Staples Center.

There were plenty of highlights that can be taken from the game, but one of those is LeBron's one-handed tomahawk that showed just how powerful he still is as a basketball player at the age of 34.

The play started with McGee making a terrific steal and passing the ball to an unguarded James. The King immediately elevated for the beautiful slam.

While his vertical is no longer where it used to be, the fact that he can still do this in a time where his athleticism is supposed to go away is nothing short of incredible.

James finished the game with 23 points, six, rebounds and 12 assists. His condition this season will determine whether the Lakers make the Finals or not, so this is a good sign for the Purple and Gold faithful.
