LeBron James: WATCH Lakers star produce INCREDIBLE dunk pre-Miami game
LEBRON JAMES turned the Los Angeles Lakers’ pre-match warm-up against the Miami Heat into an impromptu slam-dunk contest and produced a spectacular display.
The Lakers take on the Heat for the final time this season tonight at the Staples Center.
The game is also a personal one for James and his old team-mate Dwyane Wade, however.
At the end of this season, Wade will retire after 16 years in the NBA.
Having won back-to-back NBA titles together, tonight will be the final time they share the court.
And James appeared to be in mood to celebrate pre-match, as he put on a show for the packed out crowd.
Whilst warming up, James produced a slam-dunk-contest-worthy display as he bounced the ball high, before sprinting at the basket and leaping to smack down a dunk.
The Lakers fans in attendance were as loud as ever in showing their appreciation for the display.

Afterwards, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and Moritz Wagner got involved, before the team returned to the locker room.
James admitted he was emotional about playing against Wade for the final time.
“It's bitter, and it's sweet,” he said.
“It's sweet and sour.
“The sweet part about it is I've always loved being on the same floor with my brother.
“We struck up a relationship together at the combine in 2003, and it started from there.
“And the sour part about it is that this is our last time sharing the same court."
