Dirk Nowitzki will turn 40 years of age next year, and LeBron James took full advantage of the fact that the Mavericks veteran has become a bit of a liability on defense for his team.
The Cavs were clinging to a three-point lead with just over a minute remaining in Saturday night’s game, and Nowitzki stepped out to check James. That proved to be a mismatch, as James blew right by Nowitzki as if he weren’t even there, and he then finished off the play with a monster dunk.

James was the ultimate “closer” on that particular play, and the Cavs emerged victorious by a 111-104 scoring margin.
