The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon dunks on Cavs superstar Lebron James, but not on the basketball court but on stage in his talk show.
The NBA star appeared on the NBC talk show to promote his first full-length big screen movie "Trainwreck." James plays a supporting role in the romantic comedy movie which stars Amy Schuler and Bill Hader.

James made headlines recently after making a decision to go back and play for his hometown NBA team the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the interview with Fallon, James talked about his feelings coming back to his roots.
"It was everything I dreamed of. To be back with my family and friends and in that state, it was very soothing," Fox 8 reported James as saying.
James and the Cavs lost the recent NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors. But the action didn't seem to stop for him. He's been busy promoting his movie, attending red carpet premieres, and even made an appearance at the annual ESPY Awards where he was a presenter and awardee, Cleveland.com reported.
Talking about the Cleveland Cavaliers' loss against the Warriors, James shared during the Tonight Show interview that his family especially his kids played a big role in helping him move on from that. He also joked about his children being his biggest sports critics, "If you go out and you don't perform well, 'Daddy why did you lose? You didn't play well tonight, it's your fault,'" he enthused.
During the TV guesting James and Fallon played "Faceketball" where they had small hoops attached to their heads. This is when Fallon made a dunk right on James's face.
Fallon was on the news over the past weeks due to a hand injury that almost cost him a finger. The host was out of his show for a few episodes but returned to hosting it after appropriate medical treatment.
