Where Do LeBron's Games 1 & 2 Rank In NBA Finals History?

LeBron James has been absolutely on fire through the first two games of the NBA Finals, averaging 41.5 points, 12 rebounds, and 8.5 assists per game while stealing home court advantage away from the Warriors. But just how great has he been?

For starters, his monstrous 44-point, 16-rebound, 11-assist triple-double in Game 2 was just the second triple-double in NBA Finals history (Jerry West, 1969) while scoring 40 or more points.

He also has a usage rate of 41.4, meaning he ends over 41 percent of Cleveland's possessions via a shot, drawn foul, or turnover. To show you how monumental that is, the highest usage rate ever recorded in the regular season was Kobe Bryant's 38.74 in 2006, and the highest in any postseason was 39.13 by Tony Parker in 2009.

That shows how much responsibility LeBron is carrying, as does the fact that he's averaging 48.1 minutes per game in the Finals. Since both games have gone to overtime, he's playing over a regulation game each time out - and he's still producing at an incredibly high rate.

Yet, perhaps the most telling stat is that LeBron has now won his last nine Game 2's after losing Game 1.

LeBron James is doing things on the basketball court we've never seen before, making his first two games the most spectacular we've ever seen in NBA Finals history.
