James delights in dunking over Boston's Terry

LeBron James took great pleasure in his highlight dunk Monday night over Boston's Jason Terry during the Miami Heat's win over the Celtics on Monday night.

The Heat forward felt like the slam that knocked Terry to the court provided a measure of revenge for some of the things that the former Mavericks player said in the past about James and the Heat, particularly when they dueled in the 2001 NBA Finals.

"I've had a chance to (review) it, and it was one of my better ones," James said. "The fact that it happened to J.T. made it that much sweeter. Because we all know J.T. and he talks too much sometimes. And I'm glad it happened to him."

Last week, asked about the Heat's winning streak, Terry said, "(I'm) not really impressed with it or anything that they do."
