This was a very similar move to one he had against the Pacers, where Monk again just threw it up and LeBron climbed to the roofs to throw it down.
NBA Twitter was just in utter shock as they saw a 37-year-old Lakers talisman doing this for the second time in as many games. The year 19 veteran has been playing some exceptional basketball, and he has had some ridiculous posters over the course of the season. The NBA fans had to talk about LeBron James’s dunk and they shared what they thought on Twitter. Here are some of the best reactions.
