That LeBron James can do still do things on a basketball court he has never done before is a testament to his greatness. We just accept that anything is possible when he takes the floor, to the point that him playing as close to a perfect game in a pivotal playoff outing barely makes noise anymore, because we expect it.
But make no mistake: LeBron was immaculate against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
He scored 30 points on 10-for-12 shooting (4-for-5 from three-point range) and doled out 10 assists in 28 minutes of a 135-115 victory that made the term blowout feel like an understatement.
