15 Underrated Seasons from The Past 15 Years (2003-2004 to 2017-2018)

2. LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers, 2017-2018

Stats: 27.5 ppg, 9.1 apg, 8.6 rpg

Finished 2nd in MVP voting.

LeBron, putting up arguably his best statline in his age-33 season and it not being shocking is the most surprising thing about LeBron James. LeBron has aged so well for a player who relies so much on his athletic prowess.

Tasked with his greatest offensive load since the 2009-2010 season, his last before bolting for the Miami Heat, LeBron became a better offensive engine as the season went by, crushing Toronto in the process, and he even looked like he was going to defeat the Warriors on his own, but JR happened, spoiling his 51-point game.

All things considered, this is a season wherein when people look back, they would just wonder how LeBron didn’t win the MVP. (He didn’t win because Harden was stellar and the Rockets won 65 games, but knowing the load LeBron carried, he is a worthy winner.)
