LeBron James
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a far different team from last year, much healthier and a lot closer together as a group on and off the floor. Still, that has not stopped them from putting the onus on LeBron James night in and night out to carry them.
His numbers this post-season, even when his entire team is healthy and firing, is phenomenal to say the least and they are almost at par with his performance last year in the Playoffs.
This past week, James led Cleveland to a 2-1 record against the Toronto Raptors, helping them win the Eastern Conference Finals 4-2 and advance to their second straight NBA Finals in as many years.
In these three games, James averages 28.3 points, 8.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists on an efficient shooting percentage of 61.8% while averaging 40 minutes a game.
That kind of efficiency in your 13th year in the NBA while logging those many minutes is a rare feat.
The 2016 NBA Finals, will be James’ sixth in a row, a feat no NBA player has achieved since the 1950’s. He’s also the first non-Boston Celtics player to do it ever.
