Exactly 20 years into his NBA career, LeBron James still has hops.

The Los Angeles Lakers star basked in the moment after a picture of him dunking Sunday night against the Sacramento Kings went viral when being compared to one taken 20 years earlier during his NBA debut.

James called the side-by-side photos "WILD!!!" in his own Instagram post. The future Hall of Famer finished with 27 points, 16 rebounds and eight assists Sunday night in Sacramento on his 20th NBA anniversary. The double-double unfortunately came in a losing effort, but James was still able to reflect on the full-circle moment.

"It's pretty cool when you look at it," James said. "It's when I started my career, and being at Arco Arena at the time, lots of memories. It's special and I'm still doing it."

That said, there is not much time for reflection. The Lakers have dropped two of their first three games to start the 2023-24 season and host the Orlando Magic on Monday night.
