Year 17 for the King and LeBron James is still posterizing dudes like Gorgui Dieng.
James had the Minnesota Timberwolves big man on a switch and lulled Dieng to sleep with methodical dribbles. LeBron even looked at his dribble as if he was ready to pull up for the three. In an instant, James drove hard towards the rim right past Gorgui. The Lakers legend rose up in the key with Dieng a second late on the contest. While he didn’t smile, Gorgui was immortalized on a poster with James throwing a right-handed dunk over the Senegalese Center.
The sneaker James wore for these highlights were the Nike LeBron 17. This sneaker features a heel Air unit; the largest bag ever seen on a basketball shoe, providing maximum impact protection. The two large volume Zoom units in the forefoot for extra responsiveness. Knitposite graces the upper, with heat-molding creating the scaly look. As a result of the heat, the upper features more structure and durability.
The all-gold PE colorway worn in this game is currently unavailable, but you can find the Nike LeBron 17 at StockX, GOAT, Stadium Goods, and Flight Club.
