LeBron praises '95-year-old' Jefferson for big dunk


Cavaliers forward Richard Jefferson surprised just about everyone when he mustered up enough hops to throw down a dunk on Klay Thompson during Cleveland's thrilling win over Golden state on Christmas Day.

LeBron James took to Instagram to celebrate Jefferson's big play with some light-hearted ribbing.

Man to be 95 years of age and still being able to do this!!! RJ tell me where that fountain is brother. #IPromise I can keep a secret. Haha! Wowzers!!

No, Jefferson is not 95-years-old. He's actually 92. OK, he's really just 36, but that's almost 100 in NBA years.
