The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the west coast right now, and it looks like LeBron James just decided he wanted to end the entire city of Portland.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in Portland on Thursday to take on the Portland Trail Blazers, and it was a lesson in what not to do when LeBron James is running full speed to the rack. Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic found this out the hard way.

Let’s be totally honest, at some point in time during your career you’re in all likelihood going to get dunked on that’s just how the game is. That being said everyone in the league knows that when LeBron James is full steam ahead you do not get in his way.

About midway through the first quarter, LeBron turned the corner and the rest is history.

Not only did Nurkic get in his way, but he paid the ultimate price for doing so. James turned the clock back all the way to about 2010 with this absolute poster. Let it be known that James in year 15 of his illustrious career. You should not be able to do this to a 7-foot giant in your 15th season.

What’s funny about this dunk is that this comes just a couple of days after James pulled out a windmill in Phoenix against the Suns that looked eerily similar to his Miami Heat days.

There are a handful of questions we have to ask now that we’ve seen the most disrespectful dunk of the season. Firstly, how is the rim not broken and secondly, is Nurkic’s soul still in his body.

My favorite part about this dunk is the Cavaliers commentator saying the James made Nurkic a screensaver. Forget the screensaver, I want a life size fat head of this dunk because we might not see anything like this from James ever again.
