Twitter erupts after LeBron James dunks on Kevin Durant

LeBron James dunked on Kevin Durant, and Twitter erupted.

Is LeBron James passing the torch to Kevin Durant? No, he's dunking on him. 

James put down a powerful slam on Durant during the second quarter of NBA Finals Game 5. Durant appeared to foul James, but officials declined to make a call. Here's a look at the play: 

James's electric dunk sent Twitter into a frenzy. 

LeBron didn't look like he was passing a torch to KD on that dunk.

I defend LeBron on this: He often gets fouled on basket attacks without calls. THAT WAS AN OBVIOUS FOUL ON KEVIN DURANT.

LeBron James is 6-8, maybe 275, smartest player in the game, and he can do that. Absurd

Durant may have the last laugh though: Since the dunk, it's been all Warriors to close the first half. (Update: The Warriors won the game, so yeah.)
