According to <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo">ESPN Stats & Info</a>, he nailed 616 out of 640 slam dunk attempts across the last five seasons (playoffs included). That comes out to 96.3%, which is the best mark in the NBA during that span.</p><p><div data-conversation-spotlight=""></div></p><p>It's the first uncontested dunk attempt LeBron James has missed since May 24th. During Game 4 against the Boston Celtic in the Eastern Conference Finals, he caught a cross-court pass from teammate Kevin Love and botched a tomahawk dunk.</p><p>This play might raise questions about whether LeBron James is tired, or whether age is catching up to him. We should probably put both of those questions to bed fairly quickly; not only did he finish last night's game with 33 points, but he's also leading the entire Eastern Conference in scoring. The future Hall-of-Famer has 514 points on the season; a full 39 points more than second-place Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks.</p>
