LeBron James Dunk Video: Watch LeBron Drop the Hammer in Game 1
LeBron James Dunk Video Sees Heat's James Hammer It Home Against Shawn Marion and Mavericks
Now you see him, now you don't.
We didn't see much of the Miami Heat's LeBron James in the late minutes of close games during the regular season.
Now we do.
In Game 1 of the 2011 NBA Finals on Tuesday, James drove past the Dallas Mavericks' Shawn Marion with the Heat threatening to take control of the game in the final three minutes.
After James' thunderous dunk, we all knew who was going to win Game 1.
In the play, James, one-on-one with Marion, shaked him left then drove through the lane before bringing down the house with a vibrant, double-pump dunk over a reeling Tyson Chandler.
From the moment James lifted off, it was Chandler, the Mavericks' saving grace in the defensive interior this season, that actually backed off, wanting no part in the charging James.
It turned out to be a good idea, because if he would have gotten in the way, he would have been added to James' growing list of posterees (those who get posterized).
James, who battled criticism of him failing late in games all season long, was at the forefront of the Heat's charge on Tuesday, scoring 24 points on nine-of-16 shooting, grabbing nine rebounds and dishing out five assists.
On top of that, James only had one turnover the entire game despite Marion draping over him.
It was plays like the dunk James pulled off in Game 1 Tuesday that make you realize when James has a full head of steam there is no one that can stop him.
He's simply unkind to those who dare get in his way when he's rising to the rim.
We see you now, LeBron, we see you now.
