Remember LeBron James’ incredible streak of efficiency in 2013?

Inside perhaps the best season of LeBron James’ illustrious career lies a six-game streak of efficiency unparalleled in NBA history.

Coming off his first championship, there was newfound ease with which LeBron James dominated the game in 2012-13. The fierce scrutiny to breakthrough for his first title was no longer present. His Miami Heat teammates nestled comfortably into the roles they’d previously struggled acclimating to, further aiding their communal greatness.

The results speak for themselves. A fourth MVP trophy with just a single vote keeping James from a unanimous decision. The second-longest winning streak in NBA history capped off by a second straight title and Finals MVP.

Though in a year that saw one of the NBA’s greatest players reach the peak of his powers, there was somewhere higher for him to climb if only for two weeks. That trek began in Canada in early February as the starting point for two separate places in history.

The Heat entered their Feb. 3 matchup against the Toronto Raptors on a mini slide, having lost two of three heading into the final game of a four-game trip.

Before the Heat’s 44th game of the season, James had crossed the 60-percent shooting threshold 11 times that year. So it was no surprise when he added another to the list, going 10-of-16 for a routine 30 points along with eight rebounds and seven assists in a 100-85 win.

The win, Miami’s 10th straight over Toronto, ensured a happy flight home following a 13-point loss to the Indiana Pacers two night before. The victory also ensured Miami’s coaching staff would represent the Eastern Conference in the upcoming All-Star Game.

Back home to kick off a five-game homestand, the Heat faced off against the Charlotte Bobcats — now the Hornets.

Coming off the worst single-season winning percentage in NBA history, the Bobcats weren’t much better this year, finishing with the worst defensive rating in all the league.

LeBron might not have been aware of the extent of Charlotte’s woes, but he certainly played like a man intent on inflicting damage in a 99-94 win. On his way to 31 points, James shot 13-of-14 from the field to go along with eight rebounds and eight assists.

A field goal percentage of 92.9 is tied for the fifteenth-highest with at least 14 attempts since the NBA began tracking percentages in 1982-93. The mark eclipsed LeBron’s previous career-best produced nearly 11 months earlier. In March of 2012, James was 9-of-11, 81.8 percent, for 21 points in a 30-point win over the New Jersey Nets.

The Houston Rockets then came to Miami on the heels of dropping 140 points on the Golden State Warriors while tying the previous record for most threes in a game with 23. They averaged 118.3 points per game over the previous six outings, an unconscionable amount at a time where the league leader was at 106.1.

Miami was lauded more for its defensive effort in holding Houston to “only” 108 points. James’ 32 on 11-of-18 shooting were still welcomed in a six-point win, marking the 20th home victory for the Heat in 23 games.

If all good things truly do come in threes, the streak James found himself on was starting to pick up serious momentum around the league as something to watch for. Just in time for a nationally televised game against the LA Clippers.

The only real highlight in a 111-89 Miami blowout came in a playful back-and-forth between LeBron and a fan just before halftime. On the court, James toyed with the Clippers to the tune of 9-of-11 shooting for 30 points in just under 31 minutes, none in the fourth quarter.

James had never passed the 30-point mark on such few shot attempts, but this was the unparalleled level of accuracy he was now making the norm.

The Los Angeles Lakers came into Miami two days later and didn’t stand any better a chance in the latest chapter of the LeBron vs. Kobe Bryant saga. LeBron finished with 32 on 12-of-18 shooting in a 10-point win, unbothered by any defense in his path.

A 30-point effort on 11-of-15 shooting resulted in a 13-point win over the Portland Trail Blazers soon after, marking James’ sixth consecutive outing of at least 30 points on 60.0 percent shooting.

Aside from the banner year in accomplishments, 2012-13 was the season that saw LeBron James pay greater attention to efficiency more than he ever had in his career. Though never an erratic scorer, he and Dwyane Wade engaged in a nightly game within the game. A battle to see who, if either, could make half their shots on any given night.

The added incentive worked to LeBron’s benefit. His shots were more selective — his average shot distance was lower than any previous point — and subsequently more efficient.

James’ field goal, effective field goal and true shooting percentage were topped only the following year. He also crossed the 40-percent mark on 3-pointers for the first and only time ever (40.6).

Even under those circumstances, what LeBron accomplished over these six games remains unfathomable seven years later. He shot 66-of-92 from the field. Of his 49 attempts in the paint, he missed only seven of them.

Those six games are the standard for 30-point outings of such efficiency. The next closest are seven instances of four-game streaks with at least 30 points and above 60.0 percent shooting. It could’ve reaches seven the next game in a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, but a meaningless end-of-game 3-point attempt brought LeBron to 14-of-24, or 58.3 percent.

Miami didn’t lose in that stretch, kicking off what wound up being the famous 27 consecutive wins.

Of his nearly 17 years in the NBA, each of which has accumulated into a sure-fire Hall of Fame resume, the 2012-13 campaign endures above the rest in the career of LeBron James.

These six games won’t help him in the battle for GOAT status nor do they rank among the most pristine of LeBron James’ accomplishments. They are simply an underrated chapter worth revisiting as another, albeit smaller, nod to his greatness.
