LeBron James is a freight train that seems to never run out of coal. Not only has James been getting his teammates more involved this year, but he is doing so and continues to be one of the most efficient players in the NBA.
Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving have taken off this year in terms of production. Kevin Love posted a 34 point 1st quarter against the Trail Blazers, however it was LeBron who finished with 31 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists.
Against the 76ers, Kyrie Irving exploded for 39 points, but once again it was LeBron who posted a 26 point, 13 assist, 10 rebound stat line.
