LeBron James is just one win away from capturing a fourth career NBA Championship, and in Year 17, James is still playing some of the best basketball of his life.
James is averaging under 40 minutes per game for just the second time in his career in the Finals, but he’s been incredibly efficient when he’s been on the floor against the Heat. He may not win a fourth career Finals MVP award if the Lakers go on to close out the series, as Anthony Davis has dominated this series, but at the age of 35, James’ latest performances in the NBA Finals have been among the finest in his career.
Where does James’ latest Finals run rank among his long history of Finals appearances? Let’s take a look at the stats:
