LeBron James has been carrying the Cleveland Cavaliers throughout these playoffs. That was a natural effect of the Kyrie Irving trade. The Cavaliers don't have another scorer who can carry the burden, forcing James to dominate just to give his team a chance in the playoffs against superior overall teams. That has led to some mind-boggling statistics, including this one: James has scored 40 or more points in six games this postseason. Those would be Games 2, 5 and 7 of Cleveland's first round series against the Indiana Pacers, Game 2 of their season against the Toronto Raptors, and Games 2 and 4 against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Those numbers put him in rarified air in NBA playoff history.

The last person to score 40 points in a game six times in an individual postseason was Allen Iverson, who did so during his legendary 2001 run. The NBA record is eight, which belongs to Jerry West during his playoff run in 1965. Standing between James and West is Michael Jordan, who did it seven times in 1989. Here is the difference between James and those legends, though. He could still play 10 more playoff games. The Cavaliers are tied with the Celtics 2-2, and if that series goes seven games, it would be three more chances for him to add to his total. If he plays a seven-game series in the NBA Finals afterwards, that would be 10 games in total. Since James is scoring 40 points in 40 percent of his games this postseason (six out of 15), that would get to him a ridiculous 10 40-point games in the playoffs if he maintained his averages through Game 7 of the NBA Finals. There is no guarantee that he will play that many games, but it shows that James could very easily set the record this postseason.

The best part of this run, though, comes in a stat that doesn't even seem possible. Despite all of these 40-point games, James has never once in his career topped 50 points in a single playoff game. His career-high is 49 points, which he scored against both the Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets earlier in his career. James can score as much as anyone if he has to, but that is not his game. Even though he is potentially the NBA's best scorer, he is also one of its best passers. Just as Phil Jackson once challenged Jordan not to win the scoring title, James knows that in order for his team to win, he is better served not scoring 50 or 60 points. There is a limit at which his scoring stops helping. He knows that he needs to get his teammates involved.

That is what makes James' statistics so impressive most of the time. He can score 40 points in a game while also dishing 10 assists. He does whatever his team needs to win. And now, they are only two wins away from the NBA Finals thanks to him.
