LeBron James, 39, is still capable of playing like he did when he was at least a decade younger. This was proved once again in the LA Lakers' most recent matchup against their hometown rivals, the LA Clippers, as he soared over Paul George for a monstrous one-handed poster.

The play occurred during the third quarter of their Jan. 7 matchup at the Crypto.com Arena. With just a little over 11 minutes left in the quarter, James received the ball in the backcourt and took off running for a fast break.

He was able to beat most players down the court, only to be met by George in the paint. It appeared that a shot attempt would be well-contested by the Clippers forward, but LeBron rose for his signature one-handed tomahawk slam.

The highlight was loved by Lakers and LeBron fans everywhere, and has been reposted countless times. In fact, the NBA superstar himself has taken the time to add some of such posts to his own Instagram story.

One post had a caption asking James how he was able to do this, to which he simply responded:

"I have no idea man!" LeBron said, along with the shrug emoji.

Other Lakers players who stepped up were D'Angelo Russell and Taurean Prince with thirteen points each.

Meanwhile, the LA Clippers were led by Paul George and Ivica Zubac who had 22 points each. Additionally, Zubac also had a monster night on the boards, coming away with 19 rebounds.
