for years as the King, but before that he was just a really good player.

There was one game that defined LeBron as the King.

What is up dudes, dudettes, ballers, players, it's ya boi MJ.

Today I wanted to talk about the day LeBron James became the King of the NBA.

This was a young LeBron James in the 2007 postseason in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference

Finals against the Pistons on May 31.

Rewind 1 year back and the Cavs had pushed the Pistons to 7 games, eventually losing.

This series was a chance for redemption for the Cavs and LeBron, but LeBron had been criticized

for his performance in game 1 where he scored only 10 points and passed to the open man

for the game tying shot instead of taking it himself.

LeBron had come back strong in games 3 and 4 and series was tied 2-2 heading back to

the Piston's Palace.

Game 5 was again a back and forth affair and with 6 minutes left, the Cavs lead by 1 points.

LeBron had 19 points until that point with 7 assists doing LeBron like things.

But then, LeBron James TOOK OVER and I mean went god mode.

These cases are also god mode like this LeBron James phone case so check out Athletic Cases

in the description below for awesome sports phone cases!

The game went into double overtime and LeBron just kept scoring and scoring and scoring.

He scored 25 STRAIGHT POINTS for the Cavs!

25!

The game went into overtime and LeBron still kept scoring every way possible, jumper here,

layup there.

He tied the game in double overtime with a 3 point shot.

No one could stop him.

Just look at these highlights.

The Pistons threw every single defender on to LeBron.

Chauncey Billups would say that they gave everything they had and threw the kitchen

sink at him, but nothing stopped him.

While this was happening, LeBron told his teammate, “If you guys get me stops on defense,

I will take everything else on offense.”

People thought it was 1 versus 5 and in reality it was.

The Cavs ended up winning the game on LeBron James hitting a game winning layup.

The final score was 109 to 107 and LeBron ended up with 48 points, 7 assists, and 9

rebounds.

He scored 29 of the Cav's last 30 points.

Just think about that, he legit just carried the team on his back in a playoffs game in

the Eastern Conference finals against the tough Pistons.

He scored every way possible over anyone, made the game tying 3 and the game winning

shot as a 22 year old.

Chauncey Billups would say that he had never experienced anything like that, especially

from a phenom and then he said, it was that game that turned LeBron James into a grown

man and the King.

The crowd was absolutely stunned and no one knew exactly what they had experienced.

The Cavs won game 6 and went on to the NBA Finals, the first of many for LeBron's career.

This might be the best performance of LeBron's career but that's also tough to choose because

he has so many great performances.

His domination in that game was amazing and rare.

This was the day May 31, 2007 when LeBron James became the King of the NBA.

Let me know if this was the best LeBron performance ever in the comment section.
