We might never truly know. However, New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony gave us a glimpse of what it can look like. On Tuesday, Melo posted a number of clips from a pickup game at Life Time Athletic at Sky in New York. The game featured the Golden State Warriors' Kevin Durant, the Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guardJ.R. Smith, the Oklahoma City Thunder's Enes Kanter, and a little player you might have heard of named LeBron James.

James' participation in the game was interesting. According to ESPN, James took a private jet from Akron, Ohio, to New York on Tuesday morning, where he played for about two hours. Then he hopped right back on a private plane and went back to Ohio to attend his annual LeBron James Family Foundation function at Cedar Point amusement park.
What it's like to be the king.
