Lakers star LeBron James has set a remarkably high bar for what constitutes a highlight play in his incredible career, but his dunk on Monday is going to be on just about every highlight reel for now until the end of days. After an offensive rebound by Austin Reaves, a cutting LeBron received a bounce pass down the middle of the lane, looked straight into former teammate Kevin Love’s soul, and destroyed it all in a split second.
Even by LeBron’s standards, it was a remarkable play. And that it occurred against, over, on top of and through his good friend was not lost on LeBron.
