LeBron James on his reverse dunk in Game 2 versus Rockets

LeBron James simply refuses to age normally. His hairline may be receding a bit, and he may be developing a bit of a bald spot on the crown of his head, but on the basketball court, the 41-year-old is playing more like a 31-year-old. On Tuesday, James had another excellent performance as the Los Angeles Lakers took a 2-0 series lead over the Houston Rockets with a 101-94 victory .

He tallied 28 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, and he consistently looked to create pace and attack the basket. On one play in the third quarter, the Rockets' defense broke down, and he saw an open lane. He came barrelling down the paint and threw down a reverse dunk that reminded everyone that he still has plenty left in his tank.
