When he was young LeBron James used to take pleasure in dunking on opponents at every possible opportunity. James would barrel down the lane with such speed, power and ferocity that defenders would get out of the way instead of contesting his shot. As he got older though, LeBron started to shy away from those type of plays considering the toll it would take on his body. Recently that doesn’t seem to matter to him though, as James has been on a spree of powerful in-game dunks that hearken back to his first stint in Cleveland. On Saturday night Louis Amundson learned what it felt like.

Poor Lou. How exactly he was still standing after this is the first mystery as LeBron makes him bounce away like there was an invisible force field or something. Really though, Amundson was just being a great veteran teacher, by teaching young Kristaps Porzingis to never put himself in this position. Now Kristaps knows what will happen and it is safe to say he values his own safety enough to stay out of that situation.
