Dia diturunkan dalam 56 perlawanan dengan purata 30.3 mata setiap perlawanan, ini kali kedua dia meraih purata lebih 30 mata dalam semusim (31.4 peratus untuk Cleveland Cavaliers pada 2005-06).

James mencatat purata 8.2 rebound dalam setiap perlawanan, 6.2 bantuan jaringan dan lontaran tiga matanya makin berbisa apabila menyempurnakan 2.9 dalam 8.0 percubaan.

Dia juga muncul pemain pertama dalam sejarah NBA yang mencatat lebih daripada 10,000 mata kerjaya, rebound dan bantuan jaringan.

James memenangi empat gelaran NBA dengan tiga pasukan berbeza -- Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers dan Lakers sepanjang kerjayanya.

Dalam setiap musim kejuaraannya, James telah dinobatkan sebagai Pemain Paling Bernilai (MVP) bagi pusingan akhir selain empat kali ditabalkan MVP dalam musim biasa dan 18 kali dalam barisan All Star.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
