5 highest scoring games of LeBron James' career

#3 56 points

LeBron James against the Toronto Raptors

When and Where: March 20th, 2005 (Toronto)

If James scoring 55 points in his third season was astounding, how about this? He scored 56 in just his second season. Against the Toronto Raptors, James exploded for 56 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals but couldn't steer his team to victory despite playing all 48 minutes of the game.

At the time of his outburst, he was the youngest player to score 50+ points (20 years, 80 days). Brandon Jennings, later in 2009, beat his record by scoring 50 himself at 20 years and 52 days. James' 56 points were also the previous franchise record before Kyrie Irving scored 57 against the San Antonio Spurs in the 2014-15 season.
