LeBron James and Damian Lillard exchanged monster dunks, creating a moment for the ages in the opening night contest between the Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers. Each was apparently eager to send a message to each other and the NBA, and they likely shattered plenty of screens in the process.
The festivities opened as James picked the ball and ran away for a solo slam, his first points as a Laker.
Lillard wasn’t having ANY of that, and he returned the favor with extra sauce.
