LeBron James isn’t in the 2014 NBA Dunk Contest. He has never been part of the festivities like a participant and likely never will be. But this video of LeBron dunking after practice today in Phoenix is why everyone wants to see it happen.
‘Bron and his teammates decided to have a little fun in practice and the result was video of King James throwing down three pretty crazy dunks. On the first two throw downs, he casually decided to fling the ball off the walls of the gym and emphatically threw it down. He went a little more traditional on the final alley-oop to himself attempt, but it would still garner high scores in a dunk contest.
It could be pure coincidence that LeBron dropped this video just days away from the actual dunk contest, but we highly doubt it. We respect the man’s troll level, and will watch it again, because we will never get to see it at NBA All-Star Saturday.
Peep the video after the jump.
