Three cheers for leggy actress Stacy Keibler … good read on a potential cure for AIDS … based on these quotes, it seems apparently there’s already a leak in the camp of the President-elect … the guy’s car who was flipped in Philly got enough donations to get a new one …parrot saves baby! … Sarah Palin references basement-dwelling bloggers in their underwear … awesome photo …

LeBron James Almost Dunked From The Foul Line Against The Milwaukee Bucks
FanIQ Blog —
LeBron James' dunk against the Bucks on Tuesday wasn't quite from the foul line. His full foot was over the line, in fact, as you can see in the video above, and the screen shot below:
The fact remains, however, that LeBron was damn close, and ...
LeBron Is Not a Human Being
Both Teams Played Hard —
I’m not sure how, but LeBron is still becoming more impressive every day.
It has gotten to the point that if they treated the NBA Top 10 Plays of the Week as a legitimately honest meritocracy, last week probably would have been Brandon Roy’s walk-off overtime three at #1, Derrick Rose dunking on Blur at #2, maybe Flash’s put-back dunk somewhere and then seven LBJ moments of terror.
That block on TJ Ford was absurd and rightly included near the top. And if NBA TV wants to pretend that a Leon Powe routine dunk in transition, a Tyson Chandler alley-oop that happens three times a game and an unguarded Gerald Green tomahawk ...
Video: LeBron James dunks from free throw line! Almost!
Ball Don't Lie —
Contrary to what the YouTubes say, LeBron James' dunk against the Bucks last night wasn't quite FROM the foul line. But boy, was it ever close. Video of his extended flight, via Fan IQ, after the free thro— er, jump. OK, he made that look freakishly easy. Like, that's just not right. And this was in a game situation! Can you imagine LBJ in a dunk contest, where he wouldn't have to dribble or have Ramon Sessions chasing him down from behind? Throw in the hype of a Saturday night crowd and I'm starting to think LeBron could dunk from the three-point line.

Lebron James Dunks From Free Throw Line On Milwaukee Bucks
The Critical Fanatic —
OK, so he almost dunks from the free throw line. But this wasn’t a dunk contest. This was in a real, actual game. Sort of. Does playing the Milwaukee Bucks count? I’ve been lacking a little in following the NBA since the first week, but what I do know is that Lebron James has been blowing up lately ...
Lebron James Dunks From the Free Throw Line!
The Hoop Doctors —
November 12th, 2008 - Dr. J-Water
So to be correct, he had one foot over the line when he took off. But who the hell cares! So did Michael Jordan in his second dunk contest victory. The thing about this video below however is that Lebron did this IN A GAME! Are you kidding me? This is so freakish from an athletic standpoint, it should be studied carefully by scientists around the world to attempt to verify if Lebron James is actually an alien or possibly the REAL Superman (sorry Dwight).
The repeated viewing of this video will probably make you want to cry that Lebron James has yet to ...
LeBron Defy Gravity from The Free Throw Line for A Dunk
JBOMB Basketball Blog —
This is the slam dunk many people (at least in YouTube) are talking about - LeBron James soars to the rim from the free throw line and slam home for two.
Okay, okay.. from YouTube, LeBron’s dunk is said to be MJ rip-off. Or Brent Barry, too? However, with all due respect to MJ and Brent, this dunk is made during the game - not in the NBA Slam Dunk contest.
It is, by all mean, a monster dunk.
Share and Enjoy:

Two Feet Taller and Two Feet Closer, and I Can Do That
Sports Blog - football, basketball, and baseball —
Not the biggest LeBron fan. I’ve always felt he’s overrated. He reminds me of Shaq…. not a whole ton of skill, but for his position the biggest and most athletic person. Regardless of my feelings — feelings that people always bash — it’s a pretty impressive dunk.

Golden State Of Mind —
I know this is a Warriors site but since we're all hoops fans, just wanted to point this out as just ridiculous. Lebron James dunks from (just inside) the free throw line... in a real game, on a fast break, getting chased by the defense. Just ridiculous. Here's another link of the live action but ...
Did LeBron James Dunk From the Free Throw Line?
FanHouse —
by Nate Jones Filed under: Cavaliers, NBA VideosWe all know that LeBron James is a freak of nature. His head is at or above the rim on so many dunks that it doesn't even phase me anymore. Well, he might have stepped up his freakishness to an entirely different level on Tuesday. Here's footage of what might be LeBron James dunking from the free throw line in an actual game: Yeah, so it's possible that he was maybe one or two steps over the free throw line when he took off for that dunk. However, I do know that I have NEVER seen and NBA player jump ...
LeBron James Throws it Down
Walker Sports —
Alright so by this point we all know that LeBron James is an amazing athlete. Well last night he proved it against, by taking off just short of the foul line on a fast break and throwing it down hard. I have to admit, that is pretty impressive for a man his size. However, I still am not willing to crown him the best dunker in the NBA. LeBron has power with his dunks, and he has a ton of hang time. That is why we see him gliding through the air on the majority of them. However, he does not have much agility in the which is why we do not see him throwing down a 360 or another elaborate dunk like we saw Michael Jordan do ...
NBA POWER RANKINGS - by RP
Docksquad Sports —
I’ll be bringing Docksquad Sports readers a weekly NBA Power Rankings column every Monday the rest of the season. Please bear with me early on, as I am still tinkering with the format. The rankings are unbiased and take into account several aspects including overall record, weekly record, injuries and strength of victories. Enjoy and good luck to your respective teams! -RP 1. Los Angeles Lakers (7-1) – Everyone loses at some point, so can’t really harp on the Detroit game. What a difference Bynum has made? Kobe playing just 35 minutes a night only bodes well for the postseason. That bench is murder with Farmar, the Machine, ...
LeBron James macht und den Michael
HoopNation —
Jeder kennt den Dunk von Michael Jordan - der Freiwurflinien dunk. Oft haben wir diesen dunk vor oder nach Jordan gesehen - aber niemand machte es mit so einem “Style” wie Michael Jordan.
Nun gibt es noch wen der diesen Dunk gemacht hat - Lebron James - und zwar in einem Spiel!
LeBron James 7 Dunks Versus Toronto Raptors
FanIQ Blog —
Last night the Raptors and Cavs played a game and a dunk contest broke out. Or, actually, LeBron James had his own dunk contest. James had a ridiculous 7 dunks against the Raptors as he led the Cavs to their ninth straight victory. Most of them were thunderous dunks and rather than describe them to you, let's go this video courtesy of ...
24: The LeBron Files
Intentional Foul —
It really is LeBron’s world. We are all just living in it. What else would explain doing a spin-off of Jack Bauer’s show, 24, focusing solely on LeBron James? I mean, they making him serve as an understudy to Jack before they roll him out against terrorists trying to attack the United States. Wait, what? You mean this is for his birthday celebration and he’s not joining the cast of 24?
That’s right, the folks at NBA TV and NBA.com are giving us 24 hours of LeBron James to celebrate the King’s 24th birthday, ironically enough. The event takes place on December ...
