NBA Dream Team of the Week (March 28- April 3)

Small Forward: LeBron James

LeBron James

Week averages: 28 points, 10.7 assists, 9.3 rebounds and 57.6% FG%

Logging heavy minutes, putting up big numbers and leading his team to victories, looks like the Playoff version of LeBron James has come to Cleveland early this season. Playing only three games this week after sitting out against the Houston Rockets, James has been playing outstanding to say the least.

In the overtime win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, James logged 44 minutes and was only one assist shy of a triple-double having already registered 29 points and 16 rebounds. Against Charlotte on Sunday in a relatively easy win, James notched up 41 minutes of action and once again put up huge numbers of 31 points, 12 assists, and 8 rebounds.

Given the volume of shots he takes his field goal percentage for the week is one to marvel at.

Somehow there is always some off-court drama surrounding the Cavaliers. This week it was Kyrie Irving’s girlfriend allegedly cheating on him with her ex but both Irving and James made sure it did not affect the on-court performance of the team. Kevin Durant’s a close second at the Small Forward position for the NBA Dream Team of the Week but James has just been playing at another level these past couple of weeks, thus retaining his spot for a second week in a row.
