    He was channeling some Larry Hughes on those head bobs.

    it’ll break ur heart but i expect to see the Josh Smith block on Bosh soon too

    I love the announcer’s call (which doubles as your headline, so I guess you did as well), but isn’t that a rather ho-hum move?

    I mean I can do the same thing (except instead of catching and dunking one-handed I might be able to catch and lay-up one-handed).

    Full disclosure: I greatly dislike Jesus Bron Bron.

    Definitely a Court Cut (the Score still does that right?)

    That was sweet. I’d be surprised if he can’t touch the top of the backboard.

    I remember MJ could place a dime on top of the backboard, and then take it down on his next leap. Clyde Drexler dunking on an 11 foot ring was a sight.

    I just want everyone to know that I do that same move in warm ups for our in dorm competition in which we hook up a nerf basketball set to a door and we have “dunk offs.”

    Yes, none of us have to jump, becuase the door is only like 6 foot tall……but I can still pull that move off.

    Hmmm, I think it looked even cooler because he was wearing pants.

    Someone needs to do their dunks with baggy pants on at the dunk contest this year.

    […] EDIT: I feel guilty electing the above clip the “dunk of the week” when LeBron busted out this one during warm-ups. […]

    […] J.E. Skeets at The Basketball Jones unearthed this clip of LeBron goofing off during pregame warmups at a recent Cavs game. When normal people screw around on a basketball court, they throw up a half-ass shot from behind the backboard or something. When LeBron James goofs off, he throws a behind the back pass off the backboard, and then one-handed tomahawks the goddamn thing like Dominique Wilkins. It just looks like the most natural thing in the world to him. […]

    […] 4) Maybe the nastiest pre-game dunk of all-time: Reader Knots sent this in to J.E. Skeets of the The Basketball Jones. Check it out. […]
