NBA Dream Team of the Week (April 4th-10th)

Small Forward: LeBron James

LeBron James

Week averages: 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 77% FG%

There might be a general perception that LeBron James’ game is on the decline but that’s probably more because of the level Stephen Curry is playing at the moment. While James is still putting up solid numbers himself, Curry's astronomical numbers has shadowed pretty much everyone's numbers.

James and the Cavaliers suffered an uncharacteristic loss to the Bulls on Saturday night.The loss takes nothing away from how dominant James has been this week.

Cleveland played three games this week and James rested in the game against the Indiana Pacers. So in the remaining two games, James has done everything physically possible on his part to help the team win despite the team having a comfortable lead for the first seed in the East. Anybody who believes James’ game is on the decline should check his numbers this week. He might not be the best player in the league at the moment but his standard of play has certainly not taken a dip.

In a blowout win over the Milwaukee Bucks, James recorded 17 points, 9 assists, and 5 rebounds in just 28 minutes of action. His importance to the team just cannot be taken for granted. He can’t afford to have an off-night because the record and stats don’t support the Cavs when his production is down. So far this season Cleveland his 1-4 in games that James does not feature.
