If you think just because LeBron James is in his 14th season he's lost a step, you'd better reconsider that notion. James did it all for the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers in their lopsided, season-opening win over the New York Knicks on Tuesday.

James finished with a triple-double — 19 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds — and his 43rd regular-season triple-double was far from ho-hum.

Here are some of his best highlights from his first triple-double in a season opener:

LeBron loves the chase-down block, even though this wasn’t one of his more traditional rejections.

And if you think the King no longer can finish with the best of them, he threw down two vicious dunks in successive possessions.

And he still can finish alley-oops with ferocity.

In case you didn’t get the point from the previous three dunks.

But LeBron is far more than just a dunker. He loves to get his teammates involved, this time with a beautiful no-look, bounce pass to J.R. Smith.

LeBron was basically everywhere Tuesday night, reminding many pundits that he still can be the most dominant player in the NBA when he’s locked in.
