On Friday, LeBron James put on a dunk-a-thon at Capital One Arena in Washington. He had had three special dunks that had fans jumping out of their seats during the 20-point, six-assist, and three-rebound performance in the Los Angeles Lakers' 142-111 blowout win over the Washington Wizards.

After the Los Angeles Lakers cruised to a 142-111 blowout win against the Washington Wizards, head coach JJ Redick discussed LeBron James entering this year’s dunk contest. Lakers fans celebrated James’ dunk against the Wizards, as the 41-year-old veteran showed he can still go well above the rim when he takes flight.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has never competed in the Slam Dunk Contest over his 23-year career, but head coach JJ Redick joked that the league will try to get the 41-year-old involved after his three slam dunks during a 142-111 road win over the Washington Wizards on Friday evening.

The second-year forward called the invite to the Rising Stars game an "honor" but explained why he had to pass on a second attempt at the dunk contest.
