LeBron's stats in each of the final three games of the 2016 Finals:

Game 5: 41 points, 16 rebs, 7 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks

Game 6: 41 points (on 16-of-27 FGs), 8 rebs, 11 assists (vs. 1 turnover), 4 steals, 3 blocks

* In the final three games of the 2016 Finals, LeBron dished out more assists (29) than Steph Curry had in the entire seven-game series (26).

* In those final three games, James scored more points (109) than Draymond Green scored in the entire seven-game series (99).
* LeBron grabbed 35 rebounds in those final three games. Klay grabbed a total of 21 rebounds in the entire series.

* LeBron also had nine blocks and nine steals in those final three games. Steph finished the series with 6 steals and 3 blocks. Klay totaled 7 steals and 4 blocks.
In that 2016 Finals, LeBron James led all players on both teams in points, rebs, assists, steals and blocks in series.

He became the first player in NBA history to lead all players in all five categories for an entire playoff series in any playoff series - let alone the Finals.
Over those three games (Games 5, 6 and 7), LeBron averaged:

36.3 points (while shooting over 50% )
11.7 rebounds
9.7 assists
3.0 blocks and
3.0 steals
That three-game stretch

- in which the Cavs beat the 73-win Warriors three straight times, to close out the 2016 NBA Finals and deliver Cleveland its first title in 50 years -

may go down as arguably the greatest individual performance in NBA history.

That’s not hyperbole.
