LeBron James dunked so hard he bent the basketball

LeBron James is a powerful guy - this is nothing new. And at 31, you'd think it might be bard for him to pull off something new.

This apparently isn't true, as LeBron dunked so hard on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors that he bent the basketball. Seriously.

Look closely at that basketball.

This is just absurd, even for LeBron.
