On Friday evening, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are hosting the Memphis Grizzlies for Game 6 of their first-round playoff series.   

James had an incredible dunk during the game that went viral on social media.

At the end of the second quarter, he caught a pass from point guard Dennis Schroder and finished a reverse slam dunk.   

The four-time NBA Champion is one of the better dunkers of all time.  

Yet, still being able to do that at 38 years old is very impressive.

The Lakers came into the night with a 3-2 lead in the series, so they can advance to the second round of the NBA Playoffs with a victory.  

James is in his 20th season in the league (his fifth playing for the Lakers) and led the franchise to the NBA Championship in 2020. 

Through the first five games of the series, the 19-time All-Star has averaged 22.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 blocks per contest. 

Despite finishing as the seventh seed in the Western Conference, the Lakers have the talent to compete for the 2023 title.  

They were one of the best teams in the league following the trading deadline when they acquired players such as D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley. 

The winner of the series will face off against either the Sacramento Kings or the Golden State Warriors. 

On Saturday night, the Kings beat the Warriors 118-99 in Game 6, so the final game of the series will be played in Sacramento on Sunday.
