LeBron James dunks on Rudy Gobert!

For now... but will he still be doing it at 35 years old, and be iconic with goat swagger?..

I think that was game 5 of the Atlanta series in 97. [COLOR="Red"]He'd just turned 34 then[/COLOR], I think.

You're splitting hairs over being 34 or 35?

This one was 3 weeks before Jordan's 35th birthday - at no point in Lebron's career is he capable of this - he almost never dunks off hop-steps and he's too wide-bodied to slide thru a no-spacing environment like in previous eras:





In the 1998 season, MJ got 89 dunks as a 35 year old - that would rank as 2nd highest in Kobe's career... Paul George's career high is 71... Westbrook's is 59...

In MJ's prime, he got 150 dunks a year, and there was a good balance of one-footed and two-footed dunks.... and most of his posters were in tight, HALFCOURT sets.. MJ is the greatest halfcourt dunker of all time (for non-bigs).

We disagree on the definition of "dunked on." If a defender decides to slide to the side instead of challenging the shot, you're not really dunking on him.

Thread/video should be re-named "LeBron dunks near Gobert."

Yep, so we should reward players who decide not to challenge the shot because they don't want to be on a poster.
