It has been no secret since LeBron James came into the league that he has the most talent on the floor every time he is on it. But what LeBron has done over the last five games and this entire season in general is nothing short of amazing. There is no debate, he’s the best player in the NBA.
The numbers don’t lie. Over his last five games he’s averaging 31 points per game, shooting 71.4% from the field as well as shooting 60% from three. Those numbers in itself are ridiculous but look at the numbers he is putting up as a whole for the entire season. Those are even more staggering. For the season LeBron is averaging 27 points per game, 6.9 assists, 8.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals. This is while shooting 56% from the field, 42% from three point range and 74% from the free throw line.
The list of players who have averaged that many points, that many assists and that many rebounds while shooting that high of a field goal percentage in a season are as follows:

LeBron James is on a remarkable run but took to Twitter on Wednesday to express his thoughts on how people so often try to compare him to Michael Jordan.
2013 NBA All-Star Weekend: LeBron James Should Be In the Dunk Contest

LeBron James owes his fans one shot at the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. All of the all-time greats have participated in this contest. James even told TNT analyst Cheryl Miller in 2009 he would enter the contest, only to back out months later.
Is James simply afraid? I believe he is. James feels he has everything to lose and nothing to gain. The last time James...

To even be in the Michael Jordan discussion you need at least three rings. Until then there is really nothing to talk about. Lebron is having a great stretch of games and he is totally locked into Optimus Bron mode, but none of that matters.
Bron’s legacy will depend on how much jewelry he has when it is all said and done.
From a practice sense, they aren’t the same type of player...

Tuesday night, LeBron James became the first player in NBA history with 6 straight games of 30-plus points and shoot at least 60 percent from the field. That off the heels of his first league championship title for the Miami Heat last season.
LeBron is unquestionably now the consensus, best player in the league. But as much as he’s dominated since finally breaking through in the...

LeBron James is having a history making season. He’s accomplishing things that we’ve never seen before as basketball fans. For an NBA record six games, LeBron has scored 30 or more on 60% shooting. There was a four game stretch during this same time frame that LeBron was at 75% shooting. Let that marinate for a second.
Check out a few highlights from Heat vs. Blazers

A team’s success is based on the system, and how well the pieces fit together, as they are on the level of talent. As the Lakers have shown on two separate occasions, simply getting a group of future Hall of Fame players does not necessarily ensure success (see 2003 – 2004 season and the current rosters).
As Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili’s time in a San Antonio Spurs...

It's such a fun year in the Asso- ciation, people. LeBron James and Kevin Durant have both taken their games up another notch, which seemed more or less impossible last year; it's not too much of a stretch to say that they might be authoring the two best individual seasons in league history right now. The Knicks, of all teams, turned into a sharing and...

Lakers can't keep up with Heat

James' brilliance makes Wade forgotten man
MIAMI -- Remember Dwyane Wade? He's the guy who once made People magazine's list of the world's 50 most beautiful people, once starred in cell phone commercials with Charles Barkley and once was one of the best players in the NBA.
Well, he's still one of the best. It's just he's dropped far enough behind Miami Heat teammate LeBron James that he sometimes...
