Washington Wizards v Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers reached the playoffs for the first time with LeBron James in the roster during the 2005-06 season, finishing the regular season with a 50-32 record and making the playoffs as the 4th seed in the East. They faced off against the Washington Wizards in the first round, and LeBron, for the first time in his career, got the chance to relish a playoff game first-hand.

He responded emphatically by tallying a triple-double, finishing with 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists as the Cavaliers held off the Wizards at home to win 97-86. At the age of 21 years and 113 days, he became the youngest player to ever tally a triple-double in a playoff game, and the only player to do so in his very first game.
