800th Block

One of LeBron’s signature moves is the chase down block (remember his game-saving block in Game 7 of the NBA Finals?), so we know he can protect the rim. After his 13 seasons, LeBron has blocked the ball 773 times and has an average of 0.8 blocks per game. If he can get that number over his career average of 75 games, he can get 60 blocks this season. Adding that to his total puts him at 833, well past the milestone for his 800th block.
