5 reasons why the Cleveland Cavaliers are favourites to win the 2016 NBA Finals

#5 James dominant once again in the Playoffs

KING JAMES.

Shooting forms may come and go but James’ efficient positive contribution will always be a constant. Stephen Curry might have been named the league’s first-ever unanimous MVP and rightfully so but when it comes to really being the “MOST VALUABLE PLAYER”, it's still James. Despite all the talent around him, some of them All-Stars, the Cavaliers are just 1-4 in the regular season without him and lose their ferocity as a team.

Although his supporting cast is more healthy and stronger this season, James still carries a heavy load on his shoulders and has been able to produce efficiently, ranking a tied 4th in the league’s Player Efficiency Rankings (PER) with a rating of 27.64. That kind of contribution at his age (31), with the miles on his body, is rare.

This post-season James averages 24.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 7 assists while shooting 54.6% from the field in 38 minutes on the floor. No other player in the league has those stats playing that number of minutes, which speaks volumes of James’ dedication and work ethic to become greater.

Which team is better? The Warriors or Cavs, whatever the answer, Golden State is going to have its hands full guarding James, especially with his supporting cast all healthy and ready to fire.
