No. 2 seed: 2009-10 season – Cavaliers
Age | G | MPG | PPG | RPG | APG |
24/25 | 76 | 39.0 | 29.7 | 7.3 | 8.6 |
LeBron won his second consecutive MVP award, but it turned out to be a bittersweet season for Cavs fans – as the Chosen One would depart for Miami in the offseason. He finished a close second to Kevin Durant (30.1 ppg) for the NBA scoring title and topped 50% shooting from the field for the first time. LeBron also ranked sixth in the NBA in assists per game and ninth in steals per game (1.6).
No. 15 seed: 2018-19 season – Lakers
Age | G | MPG | PPG | RPG | APG |
33/34 | 55 | 35.2 | 27.4 | 7.4 | 8.5 |
In his first season with the Lakers, LeBron played a career-low 55 games due to a nagging groin injury. Nevertheless, his performance was good enough to be selected third-team All-NBA while starting in his 15th consecutive All-Star Game. The Lakers ultimately would miss the postseason, marking the first time LeBron didn’t appear in the playoffs since the 2004-05 season.
