Everyone has always wanted to see LeBron James take part in the Dunk Contest at All-Star Weekend, but unfortunately it has never come to pass. Luckily, he’s pretty good at throwing down in-game dunks -- something he proved for the 847th time Thursday night against the Pistons.
The Cavaliers and Pistons are still in the second quarter, but LeBron has already rocked the rim five different times. Let’s take a look at a few of the best efforts.
First, there was LeBron showing off his elite strength as he rumbled past the defense for a towering one-handed slam.

Just a minute later, he took a nifty pass from his buddy Kyrie Irving and hammered home a thunderous two-handed effort.

But he was far from done, as he then showed off his post moves, spinning past the defense for a baseline slam.

UPDATE:
Yep, LeBron James is still good at dunking. He did not lose that ability during halftime.

We are all so lucky to be alive at the same time as LeBron James.
