During a recent matchup, Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen attempted to replicate one of LeBron James’ most famous dunks, drawing a reaction from the NBA legend himself. The play occurred in the second quarter when Allen drove to the basket and attempted a powerful one-handed slam reminiscent of LeBron’s signature tomahawk dunk. The crowd erupted as the ball rattled through the hoop, sparking immediate comparisons.
LeBron, who was watching the highlight after his own game, took to social media to share his reaction. “I see you, big fella!” James posted with a laughing emoji, acknowledging the attempt while playfully hinting at the difficulty of mastering his iconic move.
Allen, when asked about it post-game, laughed off the comparisons but admitted he grew up watching LeBron and had studied his dunks. “I wasn’t thinking about it in the moment, but looking back, yeah, I see the resemblance,” Allen said. “LeBron’s done it a million times, so I’ve got some catching up to do.”
The moment quickly gained traction online, with fans debating whether Allen did justice to the legendary dunk. Some praised the effort, while others argued that nobody does it quite like LeBron.
As James continues his career with the Lakers, his influence on younger players remains evident. Whether Allen will perfect the move remains to be seen, but for now, he has earned recognition from the man who made it famous.
