lebron also averaged 7.2 apg,which was 9th in the nba. he had an AST% of 38,which is percentage of teammate field goals he assisted while he was on the floor.
what makes lebron so dangerous on offense is that he can either destroy u by scoring it himself or getting open shots and creating plays for his teammates
peak lebron is probably one for he hardest players to guard and game plan for.

for most of the season it seemed like this team would reach the finals but the cavs lost to the magic in the eastern conference finals where lebron averaged 38.5 ppg,8.3 rpg,8.0 apg,1.2 spg,and 1.2 bpg on 49/30/75 shooting splits
lebron did everything he could this series.
