LeBron James Goes Over 5 Win Shares in the Playoffs - 3rd Player to Do So

LeBron is now at 5.2 Win Shares, trailing only Dirk in 2005-06 and Duncan in 2002-03.  Since the series goes at least three more games, at his current rate of about .3 Win Shares per game, by the end of the series it is likely that LeBron James will become the only player ever to account for 6 Win Shares during one playoff season.

Duncan's 2002-03 Spurs won four 6-games series, including a Finals against the Nets that probably set basketball and basketball viewership back 30 years.

Dirk's 2005-06 Mavs were headed to a certain championship before they allowed Dwyane Wade to get 40 a game against them in the Finals.
