Lakers’ LeBron James goes lefty to posterize Thunder’s Chet Holmgren

Age is just a number, but for LeBron James, it’s apparently just a suggestion. In the closing moments of Monday night’s showdown between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, the 41-year-old superstar proved he still has plenty of flight left in his legs.

With less than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and the Lakers trailing by five, James delivered a play that will live on highlight reels for the rest of the season, casually strolling towards the rim before posterizing Chet Holmgren with a massive left-handed slam.

The sequence began with Marcus Smart, who found James on an inwards pass near the top of the key. LeBron James didn’t hesitate, attacking the heart of the Oklahoma City Thunder defense.

Even with the 7-foot-1 Chet Holmgren rotating over to contest the shot, James rose high and used his off-hand to finish the play, drawing a roar from the Crypto.com Arena crowd. The dunk cut the lead to just one possession, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a late surge from the visitors.
