LeBron James is currently playing in his 20th professional season. He is 37 and less than two months away from celebrating his 38th birthday, yet he hasn't slowed down.
LeBron's shooting percentages aren't ideal, but he's still a fantastic all-around player. Unfortunately, he is not surrounded by great players, which is why this will most likely be another catastrophic season for the LA Lakers.
Whether the Lakers pick it up or not, there is no doubt that we will see many more fantastic performances by James. This article will reveal some of the best age-defying dunks that he's had lately.
LeBron James puts his former teammate on poster
On March 22, 2022, the 37-year old LeBron posterized Kevin Love. James received the ball while cutting to the basket and ended up dunking over his former teammate, who was just outside of the restricted area.
The Lakers forward torched his former team with 38 points on 17-for-29 shooting. He also finished the game with a triple-double, adding 10 rebounds and 12 assists to his final stat line.
The King will not be denied
During his final season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James averaged 27.5 points and was one of the league's most efficient scorers. One of his biggest highlights came against the Portland Trail Blazers and Jusuf Nurkic.

LeBron called for isolation and ended up driving to the rim and throwing down a monster dunk on the 7-foot center. Nurkic tried to meet James at the rim, but was completely obliterated by King's powerful slam.
Fast and Furious
In late October 2022, the Lakers traveled to Colorado to face off against the Denver Nuggets. They ended up losing the game by 11 points, which was their fourth straight loss to open the season.
While LeBron James had a subpar performance with 19 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists, he had an impressive highlight. During the second quarter of the game, the 20-year NBA veteran rocked the rim with a thunderous dunk.
While the dunk itself was not contested, it was impressive how quickly he cut to the basket and how hard he threw the dunk down.
LeBron vs. Portland - Part 2
LeBron James joined the LA Lakers in 2018. His first game as a Laker was against the Portland Trail Blazers, and his first points were dunks.
The superstar's first points with the Lakers came with 9:22 left in the first quarter. He stole the ball off the inbounds and then threw down a breakaway dunk. Just 20 seconds later, LeBron drove to the rim and had another big slam.
What a way to start the season with a new team!
