CLEVELAND -- LeBron James was the NBA's most valuable player last season and so far is doing even better this season.
With a still-improving game, James has seemed to move into a class by himself among the NBA's elite. None of the league's other megastars, whether it's Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard or Carmelo Anthony, is presently dominating games at both ends of the floor like James.
After a scorching January in which he led the Cavs to a 12-3 record and the league's best overall mark at 38-11, James entered February averaging 29.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 8.0 assists. Those are numbers that only three players -- Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and James himself -- have reached for a full season since 1950.
