Crazy how he was skying all over the court, but especially how he still is going strong and without a significant fall in his step. Young Lebron (or even as kid not yet in his prime) not stuck in a hellhole, let alone a successful team, would be the scariest sight probably.

Lebron showed dominance in the post in Miami and shades of it with the fadeaway jumper as a Laker. However, had he embraced off-ball dominance as a younger man, he'd probably have even higher stats in each category, not to mention an even longer career without any wear and tear. Its differences like this that make the difference between him playing 20 years (an incredible feat) and 25+
