How many players?
I realize LeBron became the first player to lead both teams in points, rebounds and assists in 2015. Then he broke that in 2016 again, and also set the record for being the only player to lead all the previously mentioned stats, and blocks and steals between both teams.
But how many players have led their team in points, rebounds and assists throughout a playoff run? Lebron did it 3 times, back to back in Miami. He has done it 2 times now in Cleveland. So 5 times in a row. This year, he also led in blocks as well, so he led Cleveland in every statistical category in the playoffs this season. Pretty impressive considering Love and TT are on the Cavs.
He did the same thing in 09-10 though, but they didn't make the finals.
In 08-09, he led in everything bar blocks.
In 07-08, he led in everything.
In 05-06, he once again led in pts, rbds and assists.
In fact, in all but 3 of Lebron's playoff campaigns, he has led in points, rebounds and assists every time. Has any other player done that?
If so, has any other player led in every statistical category like 2009, 2010 and this year?
Just amazing stuff from Bron.

Hakeem '95
Duncan '03
Maybe Wilt 1 season
That's it
But no, I don't think anyone has led in points, rebounds, assists as many times as LeBron, truly an amazing accomplishment

Years from now, people are going to look back at what Lebron is doing and be confused by the sheer dominance of one individual. He's just insane!

I think it'll be him and Jordan on their own when it's all said and done.
Other players won't be relevant in discussions. The ultimate debate for the next few decades will be which of the 2 GOATS is greater.
And Kobe will be knocked out of the top 20 within 10 years.
Ilt will probably drop out of the top 10 as more great players come in.
Kobricks legacy will be shattered

Re: How many players?
In terms of championship playoff runs
LeBron did it in '12, '13, & '16
Bird did it in '84 & '86 (came up just short of doing it again in '81)
Duncan did it in '03
Hakeem led the team in all 5 categories in '94
I believe that's it

Nah, Rodman had him in rebounds.

So Hakeem and Bron are the only ones to lead in all 5 categories, while the other two are the only other ones to lead in the 3 major categories?

Yeah just checked, Rodman led him by 0.5 boards.
Jordan led the team in points, assists, steals and blocks (unless you count Parish who only played in 2 games) though. Pretty impressive.
