Cleveland Cavaliers: LeBron James

There’s really no wrong answer here, as long as you choose someone from the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ Big Three. Kyrie Irving is averaging a team-high 26.3 points per game on .468/.522/.750 shooting splits while Kevin Love was the Game 1 MVP and is averaging 21.3 points and 11.7 rebounds per game for the series.

But LeBron James has been superb all-around, kicking his game into high gear for this first round series, where he is 10-0 all time. King James is averaging 23.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, leading his team in assists, steals and blocks in the process.

LeBron is also shooting 49.2 percent from the floor, though he’s only made three of his 13 attempts from three-point territory. Considering he’s playing through physical defenders like Marcus Morris, Stanley Johnson and Andre Drummond, LeBron’s output has been exactly what the Cavs needed to surge to a 3-0 series lead.
