LeBron James is 39 years old and still making miraculous plays on the defensive side of the ball.
Late Saturday night, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Denver Nuggets for Game 4 of the NBA Playoffs first round in a win-or-go-home situation.
About four minutes into the second half, the Lakers had a 68-55 lead. Nuggets guard Jamal Murray put a crossover move on LeBron to get by him and drive to the hoop. As he was going up for a layup, LeBron turned back the clock and had an amazing chase-down block, swatting the ball away.
The commentary on the play was legendary as well.

“Chasing down a block shot. I remember he did that one time in Oakland.” -Bob Myers
LeBron made his chase-down block famous in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, when he blocked a layup by Andre Igoudala late in the game. LeBron and the Cavs went on to win the game.
