The media declared LeBron to be a basketball icon when he was graduating from high school, and the media have worked overtime trying to prove they were right.  But the statistics and playoff results tell a story different from the one the media spins.

LeBron James is known best for never winning a scoring title, despite having strong athletic skills.  He reportedly has the play-making ability and athleticism of guard in a power forward's build. In his 2012-13 season, Lebron averaged 26.8 points per game, 8 rebounds per game, and 7.2 assists per game while shooting 56.5 points from the field and 40.6 points from 3, all while leading his team to the best record in the NBA (66 wins) and the second-longest winning streak in NBA history with a 27 game run. But if he's so difficult to defend, then why doesn't he score more points?
