Indiana Pacers v Cleveland Cavaliers - Game Five — LeBron James celebrating his team's Game 5 win

What a performance by LeBron James.

He made "The Block" and "The Shot" in the closing moments of Game 5 to give the Cleveland Cavaliers a 3-2 series lead in their first matchup against the Indiana Pacers. Although Victor Oladipo and the Pacers have given the Cavs a tough contest, as the games have gone on, all the talk about this series has been regarding James.

How he is being challenged for the first time in years in the first round of the Playoffs. How he has received close to nothing from his supporting cast and despite all of that, how he is putting up monster-like numbers in his 15th season in the league.

After his superhuman effort in Game 5 to win, Twitter went berserk singing praises of The King and he deserved every bit of it:

Not because #NBATwitter wants it, but because #NBATwitter needs it.

LeBron James is 6-of-13 on go-ahead shots in the final 5 seconds of the 4th quarter / overtime in his playoff career.
