LeBron James Has Oddly Never Posted His Career Averages of 27 Points, 7 Assists, and 7 Rebounds in a Single Game in the NBA
LeBron James has obviously accomplished quite a bit during his NBA career. The future Hall of Famer is a four-time NBA champion, a four-time NBA Finals MVP, a four-time NBA MVP, a 17-time All-Star, a three-time All-Star Game MVP, a 16-time All-NBA selection, a six-time All-Defensive selection, a one-time scoring champ, and a one-time assists leader.
James currently ranks third in league history in regular-season points, eighth in assists, 46th in rebounds, and has averaged 27.0 points, 7.4 assists, and 7.4 rebounds over the course of his career. So essentially 27-7-7, right? Did you know, however, that with everything LeBron has accomplished in his career, he’s never actually recorded a 27-7-7 game in the NBA?
Sure, this means absolutely nothing in terms of his overall career but seeing as James has averaged 27-7-7 for more than 15 years, it’s simply mind-boggling that he’s never actually recorded that particular stat line, isn’t it?
