Well, that didn’t take long at all.
Two minutes into Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game, LeBron James dribbled alone into the frontcourt, chose his angle to the basket, took off like an Airbus, rocked the cradle and threw down a reverse, two-handed jam.
Just like that, everyone at the United Center got their money’s worth.
There’s still no one else in the game quite like James, a 16-time All-Star. For one thing, no one else on a one-man fast break elicits such sounds of breathless anticipation.
Michael Jordan did that, and then some.
Kobe Bryant did it, too.
