James has been on fire to begin the 2017 postseason, averaging 33.2 points while leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 5-0 record. The 13-time All-Star has reached 30 points in four of those games.

He is also shooting 54.8 percent from the field and 44 percent from three-point range in this stretch.

After sweeping the Indiana Pacers in the first round, Cleveland now owns a 1-0 lead over the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

While the Cavs had a disappointing end to the regular season, they clearly remain a top contender for the NBA title with James performing at this level.
