LeBron averaged career highs in points, field-goal attempts (23.1) and minutes per game (42.5) as a third-year pro. He led Cleveland to a 50-win season as the Cavs reached the playoffs for the first time since 1997-98. LeBron won three consecutive conference Player of the Week honors at one point during this season, the first time anyone had achieved such a feat in league history.
No. 12 seed: 2015-16 season – Cavaliers
| Age | G | MPG | PPG | RPG | APG |
| 30/31 | 76 | 35.6 | 25.3 | 7.4 | 6.8 |
LeBron became the first player in NBA history to average at least 25 points per game for 12 consecutive seasons – a streak that remains active in 2020 — despite playing the fewest minutes per game out of 11 seasons in a Cleveland uniform. He then memorably delivered the first championship in Cavaliers history, leading his team back from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Warriors in the NBA Finals.
