SALT LAKE CITY -- Everyone seems to have an opinion on LeBron James.
He went from the most popular to most polarizing athlete in America thanks to his ill-advised decision.
His fourth quarter struggles against Dallas in the 2011 NBA Finals are well-documented and have left many to question just how great he is.

However, there is one thing you can't question: his incredible athleticism. LeBron reminded us all on Sunday when the Miami Heat hosted the Chicago Bulls. Dwayne Wade threw a lob pass to James at the five minute mark in the first quarter. John Lucas III was the only thing standing in the way of LeBron and an alley-oop jam. No problem. He just jumped over Lucas and completed a fantastic finish in what has to be considered the play of the year so far in the NBA.
LeBron jumping over John Lucas wasn't the only great dunk over the weekend in the NBA.

Jimmer Fredette made his much anticipated return to Utah on Saturday. He scored 14 points against the Jazz and had a chance to give the Kings a one-point lead with five seconds left. But his 3-point attempt was way off and the Jazz held on for a 96-93 victory. Jimmer thought he was fouled on the play. Deseret News photographer Ravell Call captured this image of the shot. You make the call.
Those of you who have driven a snowmobile will appreciate this. Heath Frisby landed a front flip on a snowmobile Sunday in the Winter X- Games. It's the first time anyone has ever landed a front flip in competition.
Lastly, the officiating in the BYU vs. St. Mary's game Saturday was awful. BYU fans in the student section were so angry at the conclusion of the game that they threw all kinds of debris onto the court.
