Every game in basketball comes with so many ups and downs. As the downs left everyone with disappointment, the ups left everyone with surprise, which is something that Lakers fans have recently witnessed, as Lakers King LeBron James made a jaw-dropping poster dunk in their recent game against the Wizards.
LeBron James is now 40 years old, and while some people worry about his age, he’s still amazing on the court. Even though he didn’t play all 82 games this season, whenever he steps on the court, he surprises everyone with his speed, skill, and agility.
During the Lakers’ big 111-88 win over the Washington Wizards, LeBron made an unforgettable alley-oop dunk that had fans buzzing. It happened in the second quarter when Austin Reaves grabbed a rebound and passed the ball to LeBron, who was moving toward the basket.
