He's the league's leading scorer this year and has been a top scorer in the league since he entered - straight out high school and only 23 years old I might add.
OK, the key phrase for today is NBA History.
Check out his amazing achievements after only 4 years in the league:
One of three players in NBA history to average at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in their rookie season.
Includes Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan.
One of five players in NBA history to average over 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in a season.
Includes Oscar Robertson (achieved this six times), John Havlicek (achieved this twice), Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan.
One of four players in NBA history to average at least 31 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in a season.
Includes Oscar Robertson (achieved this twice), Jerry West, and Michael Jordan.
One of two players in NBA history to average at least 27 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists for three consecutive seasons.
Includes Oscar Robertson (achieved this eight times).
One of three players in NBA history to record a triple-double in their playoff debut.
Includes Johnny McCarthy and Magic Johnson.
2nd place all-time for consecutive 20-point games to start a playoff career with 19.
Behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 27 consecutive games.
Only player in NBA history to score 25 straight points for his team in a playoff game.
Looking at the company he keeps above should settle this debate once and for all!
Anyone who says he is overrated obviously doesn't know a damn thing about Lebron or the NBA.
Oh I forgot to mention he is fun to watch and fills arena seats in cities all around the country!

Better check you stats:
Wilt Chamberlain (236 games)
Michael Jordan (303)
Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson (334)
Lebron James (368 games)
