No matter how many times a basketball star cuts down the nets, plays in an All-Star Game or is praised for their talents, the fact remains that true legends carry an unquenchable love for the game that is obvious for all to see.
That much is clear for LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, who is readying for yet another chance to represent his home country against the world.
James may have tapped into the Fountain of Youth by being teamed with his oldest son, Bronny, for the coming season.
Or, he may just be having fun and utilizing his considerable talents to delight fans in attendance.
Either way, the NBA posted a video of King James throwing down spectacular dunks despite the legend approaching his 40th birthday.
James and company are readying for the Summer Olympics in Paris by holding camp at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center in Nevada.

The first clip showed James driving the lane and demonstrating a one-handed slam that would posterize any defender.
The second was an impressive toss off the backboard back to the player for another one-handed dunk.
The lineup for Paris is rock solid and includes such decorated NBA veterans as Stephen Curry, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard, among others.
Team USA will be in France looking to win its fifth straight gold medal in the Summer Olympics, but international competition against the NBA’s finest gets tougher every time around.
For LeBron James and company, anything short of gold would still be a major disappointment.
