LeBron James with the steal and dunk vs Pacers (Video)

LeBron James took the ball right away from the Pacers on Monday and then he made a statement. 

There are a lot of things that you can say about LeBron James, and certainly as of late people have been making their opinions known. However, one thing that you do have to say is that he is still one of the best basketball players on the planet, and he proved that on Monday night once again.

As the Cleveland Cavaliers were taking on the Indiana Pacers Monday night, the Pacers were looking to get the ball into the hands of their playmaker, Paul George. Well, that plan quickly went awry, thanks to the efforts of LeBron on defense.

The King took the ball right away from George, and then he proceeded to take it down the other end of the floor and throw it down with authority.

That right there is another example of why LeBron James is one of the best in the business. He might not always be this efficient on the defensive side of things, but he can get the job done when he needs to, which is what we see right here.
