During the Los Angeles Lakers’ loss vs. the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night, LeBron James tries to throw down a powerful one-handed dunk, but gets denied by Jarrett Allen at the rim. LeBron says after the game that “He is in his 20's, I’m in my 30's, it takes me longer to warm up,” and iterates that blocks happen. Allen explains that he was just going up to contest the shot, but because it was LeBron, he had to go up with “extra emphasis.” LeBron getting denied for a dunk has happened only eight others times in his career besides tonight and check them all out.
