LeBron James is arguably the best player in the league right now. With a career that has already lasted 18-years and counting, James has continued to be one of the best all-round players in the league and if not for his freak high ankle sprain, was one of the favorites to win the MVP trophy.

One of the most renowned skills that Bron stands out in, is his impeccable playmaking skills and his elite basketball IQ. Given how exceptional his ability to read the game is, LBJ was pretty unique.
