LeBron James In February of the 2007–08 season, James was named All-Star Game MVP for the second time behind a 27-point, 8-rebound, and 9-assist performance.[56] On March 21, he moved past Brad Daugherty as the Cavaliers' all-time leading scorer in a game against the Raptors, doing so in over 100 less games than Daugherty.[57] His 30 points per game were also the highest in the league, representing his first scoring title.[58] Despite his individual accomplishments, Cleveland's record fell from the year before to 45–37.[59] Seeded fourth in the East entering the playoffs, the Cavaliers defeated the Wizards in the first round for the third consecutive season before being eliminated in seven games by the eventual-champion Boston Celtics in the next round.[60] During the decisive seventh game in Boston, James scored 45 points and Paul Pierce scored 41 in a game the Associated Press described as a "shootout".[61]
LeBron James In 2006–07, James's averages declined to 27.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game.[12] Some analysts attributed the fall to a regression in his passing skills and shot selection, which stemmed from a lack of effort and focus.[52] The Cavaliers finished the season with 50 wins for the second consecutive year and entered the playoffs as the East's second seed.[53][54] In Game 5 of the NBA Conference Finals, James notched 48 points with 9 rebounds and 7 assists, scoring 29 of Cleveland's last 30 points, including the game-winning layup with two seconds left, against the Pistons.[55] After the game, play-by-play announcer Marv Albert called the performance "one of the greatest moments in postseason history" and color commentator Steve Kerr described it as "Jordan-esque".[56] In 2012, ESPN ranked the performance the fourth greatest in modern NBA playoff history.[57] The Cavaliers went on to win Game 6 and claim their first-ever Eastern Conference championship,[58] earning them a matchup with the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals.[59] During the championship round, James struggled, averaging 22 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game on just 35.6 percent shooting,[60] and Cleveland was eliminated in a sweep.[59]
