APP - Labaste Jules - LeBron James

LeBron Raymone James Sr., better known by his stage name LeBron James, is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA (National Basketball Association).

LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984 in Akron (Ohio).

In 2003-2004 season, James was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers as the first overall pick of the 2003 NBA draft. In his first regular season game, he scored 25 points against the Sacramento Kings. This performance is a record for most points scored by a prep-to-pro player in his debut performance. And, at the end of the season, LeBron became the first Cavalier to receive the NBA Rookie of the Year Award. The stats of his first season are : 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game (he became the third player in league history to average at least 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game as a rookie).

LeBron will leave the Cavs in 2010 promising to come back and give them an nba title. He will then join the Heat where he will make a carnage in the league.
He forms a world-famous trio with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh at the Miami Heats.

King James is the worthy successor of Michael Jordan, today he is the best player in the world.

We don’t know what the future will be like, but LeBron still has one thing he wants to accomplish, he announced he wants to continue his career so he can play with his son, LeBron James Jr.

In conclusion, LeBron James will play his tenth NBA final in a few days, either against Boston or against Miami (his former team). It will be time for him to prove that this is the King.
I hope the Lakers win this championship for Kobe.

As LeBron James is in the NBA final with the Los Angeles Lakers, I decided to tell you every week three of these greatest feats in playoff.s NBA.

2009 Eastern Conference Finals vs. Orlando Magic: Game 2

James was unstupable and put up a solid 35 points, grabbed four boards and dished out five assists while shooting 12-of-23 from the floor and 10-of-12 from the charity stripe. Cleveland Cavaliers win 96-95.

The Cavs needed a big performance from LeBron after they had already dropped Game 1 in the series.

They needed one, and they got one when James came through with a playoff buzzer-beater.


2011 Eastern Conference Semifinals vs. Boston Celtics: Game 4


LBJ stepped up big for the Miami Heat, scoring 35 points, grabbing 14 rebounds and dishing out three assists to go along with three steals.

The Heat came from behind to tie the game in the fourth, and dominated overtime to walk away with a 98-90 victory to pull within one game of reaching the Eastern Conference finals.

James hit a three-pointer to tie the game at 84 and then made a left-handed layup with 48 seconds to play to give Miami an 86-84 lead.

LeBron hit a fadeaway jumper to give the Heat the lead in overtime, and they never looked back.


2006 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals vs. Washington Wizards: Game 5


LeBron made the game-winning shot on a baseline drive to give the Cavs a 120-119 win in overtime and a 3-2 series lead.

This game was defining for King James. LeBron missed a game-winning shot at the buzzer in regulation. But his tiptoeing on the baseline before the go-ahead basket with under a second left is the moment that may have changed the course of the Cavaliers—at the time.

He finished with 45 points, seven rebounds, six assists in 46 minutes, shooting 14-of-23 from the floor and 17-of-18 from the free-throw line (see, he can shoot free throws). LBJ and the Cavs started rolling for the next few years, and this game was a huge part of that.

We meet again this week to talk about three new exploits that LeBron James achieved during his career, here we go!


2008 Eastern Conference Semifinals vs. Boston Celtics: Game 7


This Game 7 didn't go the way that the Cavs may have wanted it to as they lost 97-92, but it certainly wasn't due to the effort from James.

He did all he could, scoring 45 points, dishing out six assists and grabbing five rebounds.

But what made this game memorable was the shootout between James and Boston's Paul Pierce.

Pierce hit a shot, and then James had an answer. That process repeated almost the entire game, and while LBJ's season would come to an end, this performance has always stuck out.


2009 Eastern Conference Finals vs. Orlando Magic: Game 1


The Cavs would lose this game 107-106, but LeBron was simply fantastic in this one. He scored 49 points, dished out six assists, grabbed eight rebounds, along with two steals and three blocks.

Cleveland gave this game away, squandering a 15-point second-half lead, but LeBron made 20-of-30 shots. His 49 points was a career high and franchise postseason record.


2009 Eastern Conference Semifinals vs. Atlanta Hawks: Game 3


King James scored 47 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and dished out eight assists as the Cavs beat the Hawks 97-82 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead.

He scored 25 of his 47 points in the second half, and joined Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA postseason history with 45-10-8 in a playoff game.

It was just one of those nights where LeBron was unstoppable, and he rode that and came through with a very special performance.

See you next week for new exploits of the King.

I'm a big Miami Heat fan so please understand me when I say I don't like Lebron James. He thinks too much of himself. He was a loser until he came to Miami and it was Riley/Spo/Wade and the staff who taught him how to win, we should have won another title if he wasn't such a prima donna (when we lost to Dallas). I hate how he left, I can understand going back to Cleveland but he should have left in a way that allowed us to get some compensation - after all we paid a lot for him. And then he leaves Cleveland to ring chase.

I really hope that the Lakers lose the next 3 games against Miami although I know that isn't going to happen. He'll get another title and claim he's the greatest but personally I think Wade was better than him for the first part of his career and others players have been better for the recent years.

I wouldn't put him in the all time top 5.

I can understand your vision as a Heats fan, your reasoning is good... except at the end. I’m sorry, sir, but your last part about Wade being a better player than him, and LeBron not being in your top 5 all-time made me want to lose my sight...

In short, let us take back on three great performances that LeBron James realized :


2012 Eastern Conference Semifinals vs. Indiana Pacers: Game 4


This one is fresh in everyone's mind, but Sunday's performance ranks right up there as among LBJ's greatest of his career.

His performance was one of the best in NBA playoff history, recording the first 40-point, 18-rebound, nine-assist postseason game since Elgin Baylor accomplished the feat in 1961.

But the most important part was that the Heat needed a performance like this, and James delivered.

It was a must-win situation on the road, and LeBron dominated despite all of the pressure on his shoulders.

Simply a fantastic individual performance.


2009 Eastern Conference Finals vs. Orlando Magic: Game 5


This Eastern Conference finals performance from LeBron was one of his best ever, coming in an elimination game with the Cavs down 3-1 in the series.

The King put up a triple-double with 37 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, and kept Cleveland alive for one more game.

In the 112-102 win, James showed off every dimension of his game and was unstoppable in every way.

While the Cavs would go on to eventually lose Game 6, LeBron's Game 5 performance was simply outstanding.


2007 Eastern Conference Finals vs. Detroit Pistons: Game 5


All you really have to say to Cleveland Cavaliers fans are the words "Game 5."

They'll know exactly what you are talking about.

Love him or hate him, the only way to sum up the performance of James on that night is by using the word incredible.

LeBron took over. It often looked like he was playing one-on-five, but the Pistons had no answers for him.

When it was all said and done, James finished with 48 points, nine rebounds and seven assists while making 18-of-33 shots. Cleveland won 109-107, which put them one win away from a trip to the NBA Finals.

It was one of the greatest performances in NBA playoff history as James scored the last 25 and 29 of his team's final 30 points.

It’s time to salute the king of LeBron James. He won his fourth championship ring and, of course, his fourth MVP title in the finals.

For next week, if you don’t mind, I’d like to tell you about the future king, the NBA prince: Anthony "The Brow" Davis.

Anthony Marshon Davis Jr., popularly known by his nickname “The Brow” is a professional Basketball player. He now plays in the NBA for the Los Angeles Lakers.

The New Orleans Pelicans selected Davis as its first overall pick, making him the fifth Chicago-area first overall selection. Davis agreed to a three-year contract worth a guaranteed $16 million on July 24, 2012. Davis debuted for the Hornets on November 1, 2012, but was sidelined in subsequent games due to concussions, but returned to action after missing 11 games.
