LeBron James put on an epic performance to claim his third title, helping Cleveland end its 52-year drought of professional titles. But just how unbelievable was King James?

The four-time league MVP led all players in the Finals in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals -- the first player to do so in a playoff series.

LeBron's all-around brilliance has been well solidified, but his performance in these Finals further hammers that home. James averaged 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 2.3 blocks and 2.6 steals in helping the Cavs become the first team to erase a 3-1 Finals deficit.

James also became the third player in NBA history to put up a triple-double in Game 7, finishing with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.
