The Cleveland Cavaliers have the best record in the NBA (35-11) and LeBron James is the obvious reason why.  King James has been amazing ever since he stepped on to the court as an 18-year-old rookie in 2003, and has continued to improve every season.  This year is no different, as his outside shot has been looking better than it ever has and he is shooting a career-high 51% from the field.  This season he is averaging 29.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 blocks.  The Cavs are 9-3 this month and LeBron has been playing even better than his ridiculous regular season averages.  In the month of January, LeBron is averaging 33.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.4 blocks on 52% shooting.  The Cavs have won 7 of their last 8 games, including a big win over the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant.  LeBron had 37 points in that game, which was a big statement game for the Cavs since it gave them a season sweep over Kobe and the Lakers, who is LeBron’s only competition for MVP this season.
