VIDEO: New Slo-Mo Angle of LeBron's Opening Night Fadeaway on Kawhi Leonard is Incredibly Cinematic

As if the real-time look at LeBron James taking on Kawhi Leonard one-on-one, for the first time after the two stars officially signed a co-lease on the Staples Center, wasn't enough, the NBA proudly presented us with a better look at things. James scored the deuce here, choosing to cook his adversary all by himself, fading away with a vintage beauty.

The mid-range J is dead, unless it's LeBron on Kawhi, mano a mano. That's the rule, we didn't make it.

Though LeBron gave his enemy the work here, Kawhi actually owned a good portion of the first half action, entering the locker room with a lead, and posting 20 points on an effortless selection of shots.

LeBron's main first half highlight, other than this beauty, was losing his mind and firing himself up for the showdown with a scream of all screams during the anthem.

First of many battles, folks. First of many.
