USA Today, Showmanship, style highlight NBA's showcase All-Star 2005 The dunkadelics: LeBron James and Vince Carter. Shaquille O'Neal blocked a shot by Amare Stoudemire, grabbed it out of the air and started the fast break off his dribble. He passed ahead to Allen Iverson, who, from 40 feet, lobbed the ball toward the rim, seemingly to no one. The ball looked to be sailing harmlessly out of bounds over everyone's head when, out of nowhere, James streaked in from the right, grabbed it with one hand and slammed it home in one motion. Not to be outdone, Carter came down on the break, and when he got to the top of the key, lobbed the ball high off the glass — to himself — freezing the defense for a moment. He leaped, caught it and slammed home a one-handed jam with his elbow halfway through the basket. 10-years after the Dunkadelic term was created the term made it all the way to the White House as the headline title name for the 2006 NBA Champion Miami Heat visit to Washington, DC.
