I find 2020 hard to evaluate. You can make arguments for it being in the top 3 and even bottom 3 considering the circumstances.

I'm also not that high on his 2013 season as I used to be. I truly think Lebron peaked in general during his 2nd Cleveland stint.

That 2017 Cavs team was incredible. If they didn't run into the Warriors(and took the RS seriously), they'd be one of the top 10-5 teams ever.

I've become much higher on his 2009 season the past year. The only feasible argument against that being his peak are his subsequent 2010 and 2011 season which is somewhat fair I suppose. It's interesting to think about.


3 years later and I'd have a pretty different order.

I do think his 2010 season has become really underrated. I think LeBron's peak is clearly in 2009. I do like his 2017 playoff showings a lot though. I prefer it over 2018, because I like his RS effort way more and I think the data backs that up.
