LeBron’s play this season has simply been otherworldly and it just shows how much of a freak of nature James really is. As his quest for a three-peat dwells in his mind, LeBron is averaging 26.1 points, 6.7 assists and 5.9 rebounds per game while posting a PER of 30.77, which is tops in the league by over two points. He remains third in the league in scoring and his assists total ranks him first among all small forwards. As the Heat remain in the second position of the Eastern Conference at 12-3, they are in prime position for another successful postseason. As Bron Bron continues to play and post ridiculous numbers, one can only imagine how long the Heat’s reign at the top will last and wether or not LeBron will even be wearing their jersey next season. For now, though, we marvel at his talents and wish we could do the same.
