LeBron James has been dominant so far this playoffs, and he has let the rest of the NBA know that he still reigns and will continue to.
The King, LeBron James, had an extravagant series against the Toronto Raptors. He averaged 36.0 points per game on over 55% from the field. His 3.3 threes per game is what truly made him unguardable throughout this series.

This second quote was just after the Cavaliers completed the sweep on the Raptors. DeRozan, who was obviously a bit frustrated, talked about how James was clearly the difference maker among these two teams.

To be fair, if you put King James on any NBA team they could probably beat the Raptors. That is a huge compliment to the impact of James not a shot at a 50+ win Toronto team.
With Russell Westbrook out of the playoffs, LeBron James is now the current points per game leader at 34.4. James has been the King of just about every stat, and if you watch the games, it is clear that he has not slowed down even at 32 years old.
The future is bring, and for the Cavaliers, it will mean sweeping one more team so that the can rest before the alluring Finals trilogy. Until then, there will be many headlines surrounding James and his brilliant stats.
