3. LeBron James

Stats: 23 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists

It feels like a crime to not put The King himself on this list somewhere, right? LeBron is operating at a prolific pace once again, averaging a near triple-double every night – 23.5 points, 9.0 rebounds as well as 9.3 assists. Last week, James passed Hakeem Olajuwon for 10th on the NBA’s all-time scoring list and he made more history on Friday night in becoming the youngest player in NBA history to score 27,000 career points.

So far this season, it appears that Cleveland has caught its second wind early, as they’ve raced out to a 8-1 start, best in the league.
