James has been known for a lot of things over his legendary NBA career, but it's possible that his passing has always been somewhat underrated.
Last season, the 20-time NBA All-Star averaged 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 54.0% from the field and 41.0% from the three-point range in 71 games.
