LeBron James joined Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone as the only 11-time first-team All-NBA selections in history on Thursday, after a season in which he averaged 26.4 points, 8.7 assists and 8.6 rebounds in a league-leading 37.8 minutes per game.
Somehow he's playing even better in the playoffs.
James is averaging 34.8 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.1 assists, shooting 43.4 percent on threes as the Cavs have won their first nine games.
How historic is this postseason run by LeBron? Just look at these numbers.
LeBron has scored 35 or more points in his past five playoff games, a level that's been reached only twice in the past 25 years, according to STATS LLC: by Shaq in 2002 and LeBron in 2009 (when he was eight years younger).
