This dunk is also known as the Statue of Liberty dunk and that title could not be more apt for any other move. Now, Tim Duncan is an absolute basketball legend. His team has won two finals against teams LeBron was in and has impeccable stats.

The Cavs had just taken a rebound on the far end of the court and the ball was in LeBron's hands. He calmly dribbled to the other end of the cour and drove in for what looked like a normal layup.

Little did anyone know that this would be the shot where LeBron would not only absolutely crush Tim Duncan but also become one of the most recalled dunks of all time. LeBron soared through the air, ball in one hand (just like the statue of liberty) and dropped it into the ring, no effort required.
