NBA Players: 3 LeBron James traits that set him apart from the rest

#3 Unmatched situational awareness & basketball IQ built over time.

He is often critiqued for being the unofficial Head Coach of his team.

James has appeared in 13 postseasons so far and considering his elite learning abilities, he is in a statrosphere of his own in terms of playoff knowledge. Another intriguing narrative that played out a while back was of his aptitude to recall at will and articulate in his mind a sequence of plays that occured at a certain point in the game.

There is ample of proof of LeBron reading plays even before they'd happen on the floor and that is why he is the best when it comes to crunch plays down the stretch in the playoffs. He is the NBA's leading scorer in the postseason and retained the spot even after missing an entire playoff campaign this past season.

As a matter of fact, LeBron's evolution to one amongst the greats remains largely unappreciated, and that is because he was always projected to be a legit force ever since he was a budding teenager.
