This could be the best season of LeBron's career
While it's true that the Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled lately and dealt with a lot of problems, they are still defending champions and they still have LeBron James.
This last part is especially important since James flips the switch in the playoffs and becomes even more amazing. If he leads his team to another championship, this will be one of the best seasons of his career, if not the best one.
LeBron has ten triple-doubles this season as well, which is another career-best for him. He keeps doing great things and showing no signs of slowing down.
As long as the Cavaliers have him on the team, they shouldn't be worried about their championship chances. James is more than capable of carrying the team to the NBA finals, and he will most likely do it again this season.
