In the first quarter of the Miami Heat's Tuesday matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, a likely first-round matchup in the playoffs, James took to his role as showman.
On a play that appeared to be more innovative than a display of showboating, James threw the ball to himself off the backboard and pogo-sticked for a dunk finish.
With the ball in his hands off the fast break, James coasted midair from behind the left elbow—yes, behind the free-throw line—when he got a bit stuck in his decision-making.
The transition defender, Monta Ellis, had faded back to defend Miami's Mike Miller in the right lane, which led to James opting for the self-assist off the glass before exploding back off the hardwood for the slam.
