LeBron James running the break is a sure sign to get your popcorn ready. The King was off to the races after he scooped up a loose ball on the defensive end and passed off to an in-transition Dennis Schröder, whose eyes lit up when he realized he and James had the Charlotte Hornets’ defense beat on a 2-on-1 fast break. Schröder lobbed an alley-oop to his superstar teammate, who wowed the Charlotte crowd with a high-flying reverse windmill slam. James shot 16 for 26 for a game-high 43 points while mixing in 11 rebounds and six assists in a 121-115 Los Angeles Lakers victory on January 2, 2023. During a season when he became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, James was named an All-Star for a record-tying 19th time. · Jan 3, 2023
