LeBron James
Logging heavy minutes, putting up big numbers and leading his team to victories no matter what, looks like the Playoff version of LeBron James has arrived early in Cleveland. In the overtime win over the Atlanta Hawks last Friday, James with 29 points and 16 rebounds was only one assists shy of his season’s fourth triple double.
There are many who believe that James is no longer the best player in the league and that Stephen Curry is taking over his throne however the King is not letting go easily. Huge numbers with high efficiency has become a trademark of James come Playoff time but with his team needing his leadership on the court, James has answered his team’s call.
Over the course of this past season, James has tried to step back and let others lead the team with their talent. That didn’t work out too well with the team being too inconsistent to carry any momentum heading into the Playoffs. What the Cavaliers always seem to need is James’ physical dominance on the court, at least that how it looks going by the team’s results in the past four games.
