  • LeBron James is no doubt the greatest player currently playing and has dominated the league

  • for years as the King, but before that he was just a really good player.

  • There was one game that defined LeBron as the King.

  • What is up dudes, dudettes, ballers, players, it's ya boi MJ.

  • Today I wanted to talk about the day LeBron James became the King of the NBA.

  • This was a young LeBron James in the 2007 postseason in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference

  • Finals against the Pistons on May 31.

  • Rewind 1 year back and the Cavs had pushed the Pistons to 7 games, eventually losing.

  • This series was a chance for redemption for the Cavs and LeBron, but LeBron had been criticized

  • for his performance in game 1 where he scored only 10 points and passed to the open man

  • for the game tying shot instead of taking it himself.

  • LeBron had come back strong in games 3 and 4 and series was tied 2-2 heading back to

  • the Piston's Palace.

  • Game 5 was again a back and forth affair and with 6 minutes left, the Cavs lead by 1 points.

  • LeBron had 19 points until that point with 7 assists doing LeBron like things.

  • But then, LeBron James TOOK OVER and I mean went god mode.

  • These cases are also god mode like this LeBron James phone case so check out Athletic Cases

  • in the description below for awesome sports phone cases!

  • The game went into double overtime and LeBron just kept scoring and scoring and scoring.

  • He scored 25 STRAIGHT POINTS for the Cavs!

  • 25!

  • The game went into overtime and LeBron still kept scoring every way possible, jumper here,

  • layup there.

  • He tied the game in double overtime with a 3 point shot.

  • No one could stop him.

  • Just look at these highlights.

  • The Pistons threw every single defender on to LeBron.

  • Chauncey Billups would say that they gave everything they had and threw the kitchen

  • sink at him, but nothing stopped him.

  • While this was happening, LeBron told his teammate, “If you guys get me stops on defense,

  • I will take everything else on offense.”

  • People thought it was 1 versus 5 and in reality it was.

  • The Cavs ended up winning the game on LeBron James hitting a game winning layup.

  • The final score was 109 to 107 and LeBron ended up with 48 points, 7 assists, and 9

  • rebounds.

  • He scored 29 of the Cav's last 30 points.

  • Just think about that, he legit just carried the team on his back in a playoffs game in

  • the Eastern Conference finals against the tough Pistons.

  • He scored every way possible over anyone, made the game tying 3 and the game winning

  • shot as a 22 year old.

  • Chauncey Billups would say that he had never experienced anything like that, especially

  • from a phenom and then he said, it was that game that turned LeBron James into a grown

  • man and the King.

  • The crowd was absolutely stunned and no one knew exactly what they had experienced.

  • The Cavs won game 6 and went on to the NBA Finals, the first of many for LeBron's career.

  • This might be the best performance of LeBron's career but that's also tough to choose because

  • he has so many great performances.

  • His domination in that game was amazing and rare.

  • This was the day May 31, 2007 when LeBron James became the King of the NBA.

  • Let me know if this was the best LeBron performance ever in the comment section.
