LeBron James’ identical dunk to Kobe Bryant’s dunk in 2001


Los Angeles Lakers loss against the Houston Rockets, 111-121, on their matchup Thursday, February 7,2020 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.


Even though the Lakers lost the game, King James provided a showtime recap for the fans with his double-clutch reverse dunk off an open court pass by Avery Bradley which appeared to be like the exact dunk Kobe Bryant did on November 18, 2001 against the Sacramento Kings.


"I didn't really predetermine that either until I jumped," James said. "I just jumped and kind of figured it out, and then ... it's crazy how it's the same exact dunk, the same exact hoop that Kobe did [it on] -- what, 19 years ago or something like that? That was nice", he added.


The King commended the Social media team of the Lakers as well as Lakers’ videographer Josh Williams and NBA photographer Andrew D. Bernstein for the great coverage of that moment.
