Los Angeles Lakers duo LeBron James and Anthony Davis

Following Team USA’s Olympic gold outing, a viral video has emerged that shows Los Angeles Lakers Anthony Davis jokingly claiming that teammate LeBron James made his first dunk at just two years old. The question was posed to Team USA players, including James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry, about when they achieved their first dunk.

While AD’s claim was clearly an exaggeration, James revealed that he actually made his first dunk at 14 years old. The ages varied among the players, with Curry being the oldest to achieve his first dunk at 19 years old, and Bam Adebayo being the youngest at 11 years old. Other players like Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday, and KD all reported making their first dunks between 13-14 years old. 

Nah, I was 14.
LeBron James said

Furthermore, at 14 years old, LeBron James was already showcasing his incredible athleticism, which would have now become a hallmark of his illustrious and trophy-laden NBA career. Meanwhile, Curry’s relatively late development as a dunker is a testament to his unique playing style, which focuses more on shooting than slashing, as he is known to have revolutionized the game.

LeBron James’ Christmas NBA tradition continues

The NBA released its 2024-2025 schedule, which revealed that LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers will face the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day. This will be James’ 19th Christmas playing in the NBA and his 18th consecutive year on television. He had previously expressed his dislike for playing on Christmas in the past, as he cited the time spent away from family.

The LA Lakers superstar guard has played on 17 consecutive Christmas days, with 11 of those games being away games. He has played in California for 11 Christmases, despite spending the first 15 years of his career in Cleveland and Miami. However, this year’s game may be a bit more special, as his son Bronny James was drafted by the Lakers and may join him for the game.

The four-time NBA champ’s Christmas NBA tradition has become a staple of the holiday season, and his eventual retirement will leave a void in the schedule. With his 40th birthday on December 30th, there’s a possibility that the Lakers could sign his other children to 10-day contracts as a nice gesture if he plays another season.
