Not only could this be one of James' biggest moments in his postseason career, but it could also go down as a breakthrough game for the Miami Heat's new superstar.

On this night, James scored 35 points and brought down 14 rebounds en route to leading the Miami Heat to a Game 4 victory over the Boston Celtics, giving Miami a three games to one lead.

This game was so important for James because unless the Celtics make an incredible comeback, it will in fact mark the turning point for James against the Boston Celtics, who had owned him for seemingly his entire career.
