LeBron James is a superstar. There's no question about it, and his performance in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals series against the Boston Celtics proves it. He can put on a display when he wants to and he demonstrated exactly that with an epic reverse slam dunk during the game.The Cavaliers defeated the Celtics 116-86 at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland on Saturday thanks to the performances of James on the court. The four-time MVP winner finished with 27 points, five rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, and two blocks while shooting 8-of-12 from the field.The performance emphasised why the Cavaliers star is considered by many as one of the best, if not, the best player to have ever played in NBA, and he showed exactly why that is the case on one specific play.Kevin Love received possession of the ball at the top of the Celtics' 3-point line. As soon as he received the ball, James drove into the paint from the right-hand side. Love only held the ball for around a second before driving a bounce pass towards the paint and his teammate.Upon receiving the ball, the four-time MVP winner took off towards the basket and, with time on his hands, decided to produce an epic reverse slam dunk for the Cavaliers fans inside the Quicken Loans Arena that was good enough to win any slam dunk contest.

The win for Cleveland on Saturday means that Boston still leads the series 2-1 overall, but the Cavs won't be giving up without a fight. James made sure after the game that all his Cavaliers teammates got the credit which they deserved for stepping up at different points throughout Game 3.

He said to ESPN: "Even when things broke down, we just covered for one another. We made them make extra passes. We made them make extra dribbles. We were flying around, and I just happened to be one of the guys on the floor that wanted to fly around as well."

Game 4 between Cleveland and Boston takes place at the Quicken Loans Arena once more in Cleveland on Monday night.
