Earlier in the summer, LeBron James took to social media to ask for a pick-up basketball game. He was sick of the entire offseason and wanted to get back on the court. Just a short while later, Golden State Warriors forward and reigning NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant answered that call.
Here, you will see James, Durant and fellow All-Star Carmelo Anthony taking part in a pick-up basketball game in New York City.
An incredible run today. One of the best open runs of all time? You decide. #AcademyBasketball #RelentlessPursuit pic.twitter.com/bNeHpgG11r

Just imagine being at Life Time Athletic in Manhattan and seeing this go down. Talk about the thrill of a lifetime.
As evidenced by their epic matchup in the NBA Finals this past June, James and Durant are rivals on the court. It doesn’t mean they don’t respect one another and are not in good standing off the court. As for Anthony, he’s still looking to be traded from the New York Knicks.
Though, Anthony himself seemed to be a bit geeked about playing basketball with these two legends.
Not too shabby at all.
