LeBron James · Consult the NBA’s all-time history books, and they’ll confirm that there are two things LeBron James has been elite at from the moment he arrived: climbing the leaderboards and climbing the ladder. Camped along the defense’s weak side with the opportunity to deliver an early-game message quickly looming, the 20-year veteran rotates into the paint to challenge the Denver Nuggets’ cut to the rim. Timing his leap through the air perfectly, James wins the high-profile, at-the-rim battle against Jamal Murray, swatting the dunk attempt away with emphasis before capping the moment with a celebratory staredown. Ultimately falling one bucket shy in the two-point defeat, James remained a must-watch during the Game Two thriller on April 22, 2024. Active and productive across the board, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar put together 26 points, eight rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, two blocks, and three 3-pointers. · State of Mint
