You know those “Would LeBron James dominate any sport he chose to play?” debates that arise every once in a while? Where basketball fans assume he would, and fans of the other, less popular sports fiercely argue that he wouldn’t, because he’s never actually played the sport before?

Well, that latter argument might not apply to one particular sport anymore. Because LeBron basically played volleyball against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night:
