Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James made a huge steal and put down a huge dunk against the Atlanta Hawks.
In the NBA, it takes a leader to lead by example for his team. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, that man is LeBron James. On Monday night, the Atlanta Hawks jumped out to a huge lead against the Cavaliers and it was James that set the tone to make some noise for the Cavaliers.
As the Hawks brought the ball down the court, James leaped into a passing lane to steal the ball and get out into fast break with nobody in front of him. With a free hoop and being at full speed, James decided to get some air and throw down a huge slam for everyone in attendance and the millions watching at home.

With the NBA Playoffs right around the corner, it will be up to James to once again lead by example and set the tone for his team. That means he’ll be making plays on both ends of the court and hoping that his teammates follow along.
If they don’t, James might have to put the team on his back yet again.
