LeBron James threw down one of the dunks of the year on Thursday night and WOW do we have proof of it.

The 17-year vet looked like his vintage self in a 121-111 loss, posting 18 points, 15 assists and 9 rebounds in 37 minutes. But it was one play in particular that left fans with their jaws dropped both during, and after the game. In case you needed a reminder, LeBron is still the most vicious dunker in the league... just look at this vicious reverse windmill dunk if you don't believe us. As he was soaring through the air, NBA photographer Andmanaged to snap the perfect picture of him before he absolutely punished the rim. Think it’s safe to say this one is the photo of the year.

Can we just remember for one second here that LeBron is 35. 35!!!! Just take another look at this one… Ridiculous.

 

As nice as this was… let’s just remember that sometimes those who posterize get posterized. Like when Jaylon Brown dominated LeBron on January 20th.

 

This one's going to go down as one of the better photos of James' career.
