Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, at nearly 40 years old, continues to amaze basketball fans with his exceptional athleticism.
During Thursday night’s game between Lakers and the Orlando Magic, James delivered a jaw-dropping poster dunk over Orlando big man Jonathan Isaac.
The highlight immediately went viral, sparking a wave of reactions from fans and analysts alike. The Lakers captured the moment and shared it on their official Instagram account.
“Add another poster to the collection, king,” the Lakers wrote in the caption.
Sure enough, fans flooded the comments with admiration.
“39-year-old dunked on a 7-footer… that may never happen again,” one wrote.
“He lied on his birth certificate 😂😂😂,” another joked.
“Man, LeBron is superhuman… people don’t understand the mileage on those legs,” a fan pointed out.
The dunk also energized the home crowd, underscoring why LeBron James remains a key player for the Lakers. Despite his age, the four-time NBA MVP and 20-time All-NBA player continues to perform at an elite level.

Unfortunately for the Lakers, they ended up losing to the Magic, 119-118, after a Franz Wagner game-winner.
James finished with 31 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, but he and Anthony Davis missed crucial free throws towards the end of the game that could have secured them the win.
The Lakers now prepare for tougher matchups, including games against the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns. The good news for LA is that LeBron James continues to defy Father Time.
