Before I go any further, LeBron James is the best player in the NBA right now, and if you feel otherwise then you obviously don't know basketball.
There has been so much criticism of how LeBron is overrated, can't shot and I've even heard people go as far saying he's not even the best player on the team he plays on.
The only statement that once was true, was his inability to shoot the basketball consistently. Here's something to think about at the end of his rookie season he shot the ball .417 percent from the field, he's currently shooting the ball .565 percent from the field. Night an day from his rookie season.
At 6'8 250 pounds, this specimen of a basketball player that is LeBron James is unstoppable, what he has done over the past week or so is unheard of.
In his last six games he is the only player in NBA history to score 30+ points in combination with shooting 60 percent from the field.
His impact on his teammates you ask? Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh have been balling right along with him, playing there best basketball of the season over the duration of this six game stretch.
I knew this day would come I just didn't know how soon or when it would come, but I no longer need to wait, because the time is now.
What makes this special is that the guy is 28 years old currently in his tenth season, he has yet to hit his prime that comes usually when a player hits 30 years of age.
I'll leave you with this, can you imagine if he added a consistent three point shot to his game? He currently is shooting .420 percent from behind the arch better than his rookie season of .290 percent.
Many toss around the coined saying "The sky is the limit", but it holds validity when you speak of LeBron James.
