LeBron James Made A Casual Layup Look So Easy That Even He Was Surprised When It Went In

There aren’t enough words in the English language to explain just how gifted and talented LeBron James is. ‘The King’ has been showing off athleticism and basketball abilities in the NBA for 18 seasons and has shown no signs of slowing down.

Despite being 36 years of age, LeBron continues to play at the highest level and is still one of the best players in the entire league. James’ dominance has been going on for almost his entire career and will continue perhaps till the end.

But there is consensus among fans that LeBron was at the peak of his powers during his stint with the Miami Heat. 

James moved to the Heat when he was 25 years of age in 2010, and had a successful stint, with 2 MVP titles, 4 NBA Finals appearances, and 2 NBA championships in 4 years.

Heat LeBron was the villain of the NBA, with many fans turning on him after his decision to form a super team by leaving Cleveland.

James leaned into that reputation and used that negative reception to improve his play. James was showing his true abilities in Miami, doing things that very few thought were even possible. 

One example of this comes from the 2013 NBA All-Star game. James was a starter for the East and put on a show during the game. At one point, James took the ball to the hoop and made a casual attempt at a layup.

Without any major motion to his layup, the ball still went in. Even LeBron was shocked by how he was able to convert the layup. It was yet another showcase for James as the best player in the NBA.

James was far and ahead of the best player in the league during his time in Miami and was on the verge of creating a dynasty in South Beach. And when he did things like this, it was just a further reminder of this fact.
