LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers managed to defeat the weakened Phoenix Suns and thus record the first victory since the beginning of the season, and the match will be remembered for the King’s incredible move.

During one Phoenix attack, the ball went towards Kevin Durant when LeBron tried to intercept it, and the camera recorded a spectacular scene.

Namely, LeBron looked as if he had taken off, and his age shows how sensational it actually is.

James began his 21st season in the league this season as a 38-year-old.

This viral photo of LeBron James leaping so high for a deflection looks fake but isn’t

The wonders of LeBron James never cease to amaze and it happened yet again during a victory against the Suns on Thursday.

James, who will turn 39 years old in two months, showed off his remarkable athleticism while trying to tip a pass from Phoenix superstar Kevin Durant. It was a routine basketball play but the vertical pop that James showed was far from normal.

Even the NBA players with the freshest legs in the league would struggle to get up as high as he did for this defensive possession. Yet despite the fact he is on a minutes restriction for the Lakers, he made the impossible look easy by defying gravity in Los Angeles.

Just look at this photo shared by Washington Post national NBA writer, Ben Golliver.

What in the world are we looking at right now?!?! It seems fake, like so many things LeBron has accomplished, but it is 100 percent real.

If he still has this much spring and bounce in his game this later in his career, who knows: Maybe he will have the longevity to play alongside his two sons, Bronny and Bryce, in the NBA after all.
