It was another game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs.
LeBron James and Russell Westbrook showed incredible coordination during the game. LeBron picked the ball that Austin Reeves slid to the ground. He ran quickly and alley-oops it to Russell Westbrook who pulled the same trick and gave it back to LeBron. The finish was beautiful, as LeBron dunked the ball with calculated aim and with force. The crowd erupted.
Fans on social media also couldn’t keep calm. They were in awe of this veteran who is close to 40 years old and leaping on the court like that. One user wrote, “40-year-old man jumping like that”.
