LeBron James averaged 24.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists while leading his team to an 8-3 record in February and was rewarded with the NBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Month.
The honor is James' 28th, more than any other player in league history.
He had four double-doubles during the month and scored in double figures all 10 times he suited up to run his streak of double-figure scoring games to 623.

Even before monthly award, February was a record-setting month for James as he passed Scottie Pippen to take over the all-time lead in assists by a forward as the Cavs beat the Pistons on Feb. 24.
Two days earlier, he passed Allen Iverson (24,368 points) to move into 22nd on the NBA career scoring list.
