LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have shown no rust in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarerfinals against the Atlanta Hawks, despite having a fair amount of time off after the dispatched the Detroit Pistons in round one.

It’s remarkable that a dunk by 35-year-old Richard Jefferson is the less impressive part of this play. James not only hit Jefferson in stride from halfcourt on the bounce, but also threads the pass through two Hawks defenders. He continues to amaze even after having been in the league and playing at this incredibly high level for over ten years now.
