LeBron James's Pregame Warmup Dunk Was Better Than Anything In The Dunk Contest
If you are an optimist who dreams of a better, more just world, then surely you have envisioned a world in which LeBron James participates in the NBA's annual Slam Dunk Contest. What would he do?

Update: Kendal sends along another view of the same dunk, from a Cleveland warmup in 2010.
