LeBron James doesn't discriminate between strong or weak teams. He dominates them alike. He was, after all, an unstoppable force and at his peak, he was capable of scoring at will.

But Bron Sr. isn't the only player capable of doing so, and he often meets his match on the NBA court. In the match held on February 15, 2006, a 21-year-old LBJ clashed with a Boston Celtics' squad that included 2021 Hall of Fame inductee Paul Pierce.

In just his third year, LeBron James scored 43 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. Peirce answered with 50 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. However, James' triple double and ferocity was too much for the Boston Squad as they lost the game 113-109.
#2 44 PTS, 11 TRB, 11 AST (Vs Philadelphia 76ers)
Despite a phenomenal performance by James, the Philadelphia 76ers ensured a final minute victory on April 6, 2018. Even though Joel Embiid was not on the roster for this game, the 76ers led by Ben Simmons and JJ Redick, dismantled the Cavs defense to bag the game with a scorecard that read 132-130.
But LeBron James still managed to outperform every player on the court. He scored 44 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. King James recorded an incredible 50% efficiency from the three-point line, converting four of eight attempts. He also lodged an incredible 29 field goal attempts and made 17 of them.
#1 43 PTS, 13 TRB, 15 AST (Vs Denver Nuggets)
LeBron James registered the best triple-double of his career in a game against the Denver Nuggets. Carmelo Anthony, now Bron's teammate at the LA Lakers, was then the leading force for the Nuggets. In another match where LeBron and Co. lost, King James' performance was nothing short of magical.
James has evolved into an exceptional playmaker in his time with the Lakers but even in younger years, he displayed tell-tale signs of his greatness. The Cavs vs. Nuggets match, held on February 18, 2010, was one of those tell-tale signs. In the game, LeBron James fed 15 assists to his teammates.
15 assists, in essence that means he helped his team score at least 30 points. Add his 43 points and 13 rebounds to the mix and you have the most successful triple-double of LeBron James' career.
