#1 LeBron James
The lone star on the 2006-07 Cavs, LeBron James led the Cavs on what became one of the most surprising playoff runs in recent time. Drafted 1st overall in 2003, James toiled in Cleveland for 7 years with not much around him but managed to somehow make it to the Finals once.

Averaging 27 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 6 assists that season, he led them to the 2nd seed in the East. Against the Pistons in Game 5 of the Conference Finals, he had one of the greatest games of his career, scoring 48 points, including 29 of the Cavaliers final 30 points in an OT win. He would average 22 points, 7 rebounds and 6.8 assists in the Finals, but had little to no help. Fed up with the lack of talent, James would leave in free agency for the Heat in 2010.

Now: He would return to Cleveland in 2014 and lead them to their 1st title in 2016. With the lack of talent around him now though, James has an option to leave Cleveland again next month.
