12:35 PM ET 02.10 | Heat superstar LeBron James is currently in the midst of another MVP-caliber season, and his play of late is arguably some of the best of his career. Dating back to the fourth quarter of last Sunday's game against the Raptors, James has made 37-of-47 shots. That's good for a ridiculous 78.7 percent. And in Friday's blowout victory over the Clippers, James scored 30 points and finished with an effective field percentage of 100 percent. There's simply nobody playing the game better right now than the reigning MVP, and teammate Dwyane Wade had a pretty good way to describe the sensational play. "He's off the planet right now," Wade said. "He's not even the best basketball player on the planet. He's surpassed the planet, somewhere else. I don't know with him. It's kind of like, where???s the bar for this guy? Does he have a bar?" It's really hard to argue Wade at this point.

Dang, stop being vain! It's like a guy in a 24 Hour Fitness admiring himself or his buddy saying I look great and kissing his biceps. Just play and let the critics say how great you guys are.

LOL

Lebron is playing scary good.

Scarier is when the Heat "get up" for a game.

Seems they have been fired up to play the West this season and could care less about the East.

If the Heat get fired up headed into the playoffs, no one is stopping them....

No one...

QUOTE(#4):

his first 10 years-he averaged like 30- 10 assists- 9 boards

Not quite the same competition as they do have right now.

QUOTE(#16):

Lebron does take on a huge responsibility - carrying a contending team on his back and trying to defend an NBA title. We have to give him credit for carrying that load reliably.

With support from Wade and Bosh, that load isn't as heavy ad it seems to be.
