Playing profile of American professional basketball player King James'

LeBron Raymone James (Nicknamed "King James") is an American professional basketball player for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

King James has established himself as a legitimate triple-double threat
andhas averaged 27.8 points, 7.0 assists and 7.0 rebounds per game for his
careerin the regular season. As of the 2009–10 season, he has recorded 34
triple-doubles in his career, with 28 in the regular season and six in the postseason. On offense, he is known for using his size, strength and
quicknessto get past defenders, especially in transition, and for absorbing
contact while finishing at the basket, with a variety of dunks and skillful
lay-ups. In the 2005–06 season, he led the league in completed traditional
three point plays.

King James is a solid rebounder who regularly ranks among the league
leadersin rebounds for the small forward position. His most impressive
skill however, is perhaps his ability to facilitate and create offense for his teammates, most notably out of double-team situations. He has a remarkable average of 7.0 assists per game for his career, unheard of for a player of his
size. His skills have led to many comparisons to NBA legends Oscar
Robertson, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan. James was not named to
the NBA All-Defensive Team until the 2008–09 season, when he finished
second in voting for Defensive Player of the Year.

King James is a potent wing defender, and amongst the elite help defenders
in the NBA. His ability to make chase-down blocks, especially off opposing fastbreaks, has become a staple of his defensive game. On March 1, 2010,
James filed an application to the NBA to wear the no - 6 starting the
2010/2011 season. He started a petition saying that no one should be allowed
to wear the no - 23 in the NBA to honor Michael Jordan. It will be the first
time James will not be wearing the no - 23 since his freshman year in high
school, when a senior on his team wore it.
