LeBron James has still got it.

After missing his first games of the season due to injury, James announced his return with aplomb on Sunday, immediately making two oh-so-LeBron plays against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Early in the first quarter, LeBron threw down a monster dunk, powering his way down the lane and daring someone to stop him. On the other side of the possession, James pulled out a vintage chase-down block to save two points.

Welcome back LBJ indeed.

It feels like this is classic LeBron. Any time the greater basketball world thinks that he might be losing a step, James does something on the floor that only he, and maybe four other players in NBA history would pull off. A fortnight away from turning 40, LeBron has still got it.

James and the Lakers carried a 64-46 lead into halftime. Doubt them at your own peril.
