    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">LAS VEGAS (AP) -- LeBron James soared for powerful dunks, pulled up for flawless 3-pointers. And when the halftime buzzer sounded, there was only one way to describe his play.

    Perfect.

    James was 11-for-11 from the field, making all four of his 3-point attempts, and scored 26 points in the first half Wednesday night to lead the United States to a 118-79 victory over Uruguay in the FIBA Americas tournament.

    In a sensational display of speed and power, James raised his tournament-leading shooting percentage to an almost comical 79.7 percent (47-of-59). He is 14-of-20 from 3-point range, a 70 percent mark that also leads the event.

    Despite playing only 14 minutes, he fell two points shy of the American record in an Olympic qualifying game shared by Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson.

    "That first half was awesome, it was as good as I've seen," said Chauncey Billups, whose Pistons watched James score 48 points against them in the Eastern Conference finals. "That second [quarter] was just phenomenal. I was just happy I was there to see it. The dunks, the 3-point shots, he just wouldn't miss."

    The Americans will face fellow unbeaten Argentina on Thursday in the final game of the second round. A victory would send the United States into Saturday's semifinals as the No. 1 seed.</div>

    That's just dope a lot of the time I think about how Cavs should improve by bringing in new players to get more W's and when they fail it's great to hear how Lebron is improving himself man this guy is going to be stupidly good when he's 10 years in

    The one where he soared from like near the free throw line and the opposing player just ducked in the air.
