In his first 13 seasons in the league, LeBron got over eight assists just once. But since 2015-16, he has averaged over eight assists every season. With his IQ and eye for a pass, he can find his teammates in the best positions and can help the team. Due to this, he has also helped get the best out of his teammates.
He is currently playing Anthony Davis, who is among the best teammates he has ever played alongside. He is able to utilize him well on the offense and always looks out for him on the break. With this combination, these two have become one of the most dangerous duos in the league right now.

They are scheduled to play the winner of the play-in between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Memphis Grizzlies. They will expect LeBron to lead, as he has throughout the season, and take them all the way to the title.
