Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is one of the most physically gifted athletes in the world. Despite being 37 years old, he put in phenomenal performances last season while maintaining a top physical shape.
Standing at an incredible 6-foot-9 inches frame, LeBron is usually among the tallest players on the court. During an appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, the height difference between the host and the NBA star was very evident.

Meanwhile, Jimmy and LeBron decided to play a game on the set which did not end well for Fallon. The game was called ‘Faceketball’ and the winner would get a chance to dunk on the other.
After a while of trying, neither of them could get a clear lead over the other. Therefore, the game had to be called a draw. Since there was no clear winner, the two decided to dunk on each other while taking turns. Fallon went first and dunking on LeBron was no easy feat for him. As for James, not only did he dunk on Fallon twice, he broke the rim of the miniature basketball set during the process.
After making the dunk, James exclaimed, “And I broke the rim!” LeBron’s rim-breaking ability is not restricted only to the sets of The Tonight Show. James has executed numerous poster dunks spanning his phenomenal career.
LeBron James’ dunking ability makes him stand out
Dunking during the game is one of the best feelings for any basketball player around the world. Along with the thrill of the move, the audience’s excitement adds to the adrenaline rush.
Lakers superstar LeBron James is one of the best dunkers the league has ever seen. During a match against the Phoenix Suns in 2017, King James was all about domination.
A fast break during the first half between the Cavaliers and the Suns left a rookie from the Suns to defend against the King. As expected, the rookie stood no chance as LeBron executed his massive dunk.
