It was a revelation to the media and the paparazzi. Almost all of the new drafts wanted to dunk on LeBron James. Taylor Hendricks said, “I want to dunk on LeBron.” So did Keyonte George, in different words though, and Brandon Miller who chimed in with LeBron’s name.

Now, dunking is what any NBA player does all the while, as it forms the very essence of the game. But sometimes, iconic players assure their friends that they won’t dunk on them. But it seems that the young crowd is going all out to dunk over LeBron.

On the other hand, LeBron has nothing left to prove. The only battle he’s not winning is the one nobody does – the one with Father Time. LeBron is 39 years old and is very close to retiring. So, it now depends on LeBron, whether he will want to give a chance to the newbies to play with him, let alone dunk on him.
