LeBron James holds own dunk contest during NBA All-Star Game (Video)

LeBron James continues to show that he is the most impressive athlete in the NBA today. Here he is dominating on a slick reverse jam in the All-Star Game.

The 2016-17 NBA season has had a ton of interesting storylines that have carried into the 2017 NBA All-Star Game. While the awkwardness associated with the Kevin Durant/Russell Westbrook divorce has taken center stage, we might be seeing another MVP season from Cleveland Cavaliers small forward LeBron James.

Westbrook, Durant, and Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden have been in the mix for NBA MVP. All of whom were former teammates with the Oklahoma City Thunder, all of whom are without a ring. James is the ringleader of the NBA and showing everybody who’s king with this powerful reverse jam in the All-Star Game in New Orleans.

Everybody got out of the way of James, knowing that he was going to destroy whoever got in the way of this slick slam. No, James wasn’t done. He would later pull off a ridiculous backboard pass to himself on a ridiculous dunk in transition.

James might be the second-oldest player in this year’s All-Star Game, only months younger than New York Knicks small forward Carmelo Anthony. Well, that doesn’t really matter because everybody deep down knows that James is clearly the best player in the NBA today. He is the reigning NBA Champion and could very well win All-Star Game MVP this season.

Sure, James will have serious work to do to prevent the hometown guy Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans from winning it, but James has put together quite the first half in the Big Easy. On the biggest of stages, James almost always seems to come through and put on a show for all of us that wish we could hoop.
