The Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> now have a commanding 2-0 lead against the Houston Rockets<\/a>. LeBron James<\/a> continues to baffle the NBA world with his performances, as he had 28 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists after 39 minutes.<\/p>\n

Considering he is a 41-year-old player, seeing LeBron play at this level is yet another impressive achievement. He stamped this performance by adding yet another highlight to his reel with a reverse dunk.<\/p>\n

LeBron James finds the humor in the reaction to his reverse dunk<\/p>\n

James has already had one of the greatest careers any player could ask for. However, he keeps adding onto it with legendary performances and highlights, even at age 41. Now, he adds another athletic dunk to his name, even when people thought he could not jump as high as before.<\/p>\n

That was put to rest because James had yet another highlight with his reverse dunk. It was one of the most impressive plays of the night, as LeBron led the Lakers<\/a> to another victory as the underdog.<\/p>\n

Since Kevin Durant<\/a> returned for Game 2, most people thought it was time for the Rockets<\/a> to match expectations. Unfortunately, that did not work out for Houston because LeBron and Marcus Smart<\/a> led the Lakers to another victory.<\/p>\n

After the game, LeBron was pleased to hear more about how people reacted to his reverse dunk.<\/p>\n

“I don’t even know what that was about. I got to sit the hell down. I got to sit down somewhere,” LeBron said after the game about his highlight dunk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It seems LeBron is in good spirits after two wins for the Lakers. This is a good sign because if they can keep winning like this, they could get even better when Luka Doncic<\/a> and Austin Reaves<\/a> return from injury.<\/p>\n
