He consistently puts up 30+ a night, has 7 triple doubles this season, reached 10,000 points faster than anyone in NBA history, (yes, that includes Kobe and Jordan). Of course he entered the NBA at a younger age than most players but he scored 10k playing in far less games than anyone also.

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)
