LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers has been playing for 15 years in the NBA, and he still manages to accomplish amazing things. In the month of February, he averaged a triple-double for the first time in his career. On Tuesday night against the Brooklyn Nets, he needed 7 rebounds and 6 assists to complete this incredible feat.

He had [it] locked up by the midway point of the third quarter,” wrote Chris Walder of theScore.com.He completed his 12th triple-double of the season and 67th of his career against Brooklyn.”

Wow. Just wow.

To add on to this, he earned the award of Player of the Month. He shared this honor with Anthony Davis of the Pelicans. In ten games, James shot 41.6 percent from the three-point line and had a 54.6 percent field goal rate. If he continues his season with these numbers, he could earn his fifth MVP award, putting him one behind the all-time leader, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.  

LeBron James is almost undoubtedly the best player of his era in the NBA. Being ranked in the top five for points and assists this season, he has a little bit of work to do before he can catches up with the young bucks of the association. However, he has won three NBA championships, putting him ahead of most players today. With a career resume like his, LeBron James certainly deserves the title of “King.”
