NBA 2017-18: Top 10 Iso Scorers During the Regular Season

#2 LeBron James

In 2002, James featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the words, "The Chosen One."

Stats: 6.1 ppg on 44.5% shooting, 0.96 points per possession

LeBron James can take the game by its horns and turn it to his likings at most - if not all - occasions.

This is because he becomes the "system" wherever he lands. By mid-march last season, James had already scored around 1,800 points & his assists had created an additional 1,400 points approximately, which tells us how LeBron-dependent the Cavs were all throughout the 2017-18 season.

The Cavs were the NBA's fifth-best offense during the regular season (110.6 points per 100 possessions).

James has accounted for around 45% of Cleveland's offensive output and that in itself is a testimony to the bonafide solo role that The King plays on offense.

Carrying a relatively young & playoff-inexperienced squad - after dealing with drastic mid-season trades that reshuffled everything around LeBron - all the way to the NBA Finals is no small feat.

He couldn't win the title, but last season cemented his position as one of the greatest ever to play the game, leaving an indelible mark despite ending the campaign without a ring.
