Observers struggle to adequately portray the quality of LeBron's game, but perhaps Danny Granger of the Indiana Pacers summed it up best when he declared that he "might be the only guy I've seen that looks like he was engineered to play basketball."
As encores go, this one stole the show. LeBron's second NBA season, at age 20, was a blockbuster that thrust him into the record books for youngest-everything: youngest to reach 500 points and 500 rebounds, to amass 2,000 points, to collect 500 assists, to record a triple-double, to log a 50-point game, and so on. In order, the five players whose aforementioned records he erased were Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Stephon Marbury, Lamar Odom and Rick Barry.
