#3: Only Player To Lead Both Teams In Every Statistical Category For A Series

In 2016, LeBron James became the first player ever to lead both teams in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks for an entire NBA series. It wasn’t just any NBA series, it was the NBA Finals, against a team that had just won 73 games during the season.

James averaged 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.3 blocks over seven games against the Golden State Warriors. After falling behind 3-1, LeBron brought his best performances over the final three games.

In Game 5, James posted 41 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks as Cleveland dismantled Golden State 112-97. LeBron scored 41 points again to go along with 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks in a win in Game 6.

The King finished off the Warriors in Game 7 with a 27 point, 11 rebound, and 11 assist triple-double, erasing Iguodala’s lay-up from the glass in the process. Bringing Cleveland its first ring will forever be James biggest career accomplishment.
