Jaylen Brown on his dunk on LeBron James: ‘It was pretty awesome’

Early in the third quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers Monday night, Jaylen Brown got the chance to cross something off his bucket list.

The 6-foot-6 Brown took full advantage of an opportunity that doesn’t present itself often when Brown got past Danny Green and came barreling down the lane, meeting LeBron James in the restricted area.

But James couldn't match Brown’s elevation as Brown rose up to throw down a thunderous, two-handed dunk to posterize James and create a picture-perfect moment for the ascending star.
