King James, the Cavaliers and the Playoffs

While most of the sports world was drawn to a #2, #3, #4 and #11 seed in the NCAA Final Four, the most impressive 21-year-old in the basketball world quietly secured his tenth career triple-double against Dwayne Wade and the Miami Heat, beating the Heat 106-99.

James became only the fifth player in NBA history to record a triple-double when scoring 45 or more points, scoring 47 points (16-for-25 shooting), grabbing 12 rebounds and handing out 10 assists, ESPN reported.

More from ESPN:

The two young stars put on a show of dazzling dunks, drives and playoff-caliber hustle that awed fans, their teammates and a coach who witnessed the legendary battles between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. "People got a view of absolute greatness," Heat coach Pat Riley said. "It's absolutely beyond description. I haven't seen players do that in a long, long time."

Over the last five games, LeBron is shooting 69-129 from the field while averaging 40.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.8 assists. Wade was also impressive in the duel, nearly recording a triple-double of his own. LeBron is slowly (or quickly) becoming the best player that has ever played the game. He has the Cavaliers playoff-bound in only his third season with a 43-29 record. I am predicting the Cavs to beat the Wizards in the first round and give the Pistons a run for their money in round two.
