LeBron James greatest games: 48 pts vs Detroit Pistons

In sports, it is rare to see a performance that will stay with you forever.It was one of those performances

What LeBron James did that night ranks up there with the best we have and will ever see. Before last night, I felt Magic Johnson's championship clincher against the Sixers was the most impressive performance because of the stage and where he was in his career.

LeBron's performance is the seventh-best individual playoff performance of all time.

48 points in a crucial game 5 James scored 29 of Cleveland's last 30 points, including the team's final 25 points in a double-overtime victory.

Marv Albert referred to James's performance as "one of the greatest moments in postseason history,"

I don't care how many rings Lebron #6 wins. Lebron #23 will always be my favorite.

@XKiDCraZyX really? bosh only carried them in game 1, what about game 3 when he had 34 points? Lebron only had a good game against the bulls in game 4 he had 35 points but he also took 30 shots. How about James the last two games? Anti-clutch. misses and open lay up. misses freethrows to tie the game once, and a freethrow to take the lead right before over time. then in over time he chocked again. plain and simple when the game is on the line he chokes

@quac45 LoL I'll agree that LBJ isn't better thatn MJ but to say LBJ was a non factor in playoffs prior to the Finals is just plain stupid you must not have been watching the Playoffs last season. He made the clutch shots against Boston and the Bulls. Bosh only carried the team in game 1 against the Bulls gimme a break.

[quac45]

This is lebrons only clutch game. that was in 2007.. he is talented ill give him that. but when it comes down the the playoffs he is anti-clutch. last year against the bulls Bosh carried their team. lebron didnt do anything. In the finals, lebron again, didnt do anything. comparing missed to made shots at the end of the game to win, he has hell of a lot more missed shots. cant even compare to jordan until he wins 6 championships. until then dont you dare put his name by the GREAT MJ.

@MrDfiguero i hate lebron but i would debate that he had a so-so nba finals but it was him and daniel gibson playing good and they had no help, i can remember the anouncers saying gibson and james are doing everything they possable can it's just the roll players on that team i.e. z,drew gooden,eric snow,larry hughes and flip murry (great names right) were not helping enough, as i said i hate lebron and he absolutle choked in this last nba finals but he was ok in 07.
