LeBron: Happening Right Before Your Very Eyes

Often we focus on what may be or what has been and forget about what's going on in front of us. Right now, LeBron is playing as well as anyone in the history of the game and this regular spot is dedicated to capturing it. Real time tributes for real time accomplishments - a unique perspective.

The 2-time defending champs are currently 11-3 and marching towards another Conference Finals matchup with the 13-1 Pacers. LeBron, even for LeBron, is out of his mind. He's set new benchmarks for himself in November, as evidenced by the Suns, who he torched for 35 on just 14 shots.

The list of players who have averaged 25 per game and shot better than 60% from the field for an entire season currently features Kevin McHale and... yeah, just Kevin (back in 86-87). Should LeBron sustain his incredibly efficient start, he'd join McHale, a feat made more remarkable given that he is currently attempting around three 3's a night. (Kevin, for those not well versed in his game, plied his trade exclusively in the paint). Perimeter players simply shouldn't touch the sort of numbers LeBron is putting up right now.

It's early days, of course, but LeBron's first month deserves celebrating as one of the best of all time.
