How would you grade Andrew Berry's last few HUGE trades 👀

Just look at the pure, unfiltered exhaustion on LeBron James’ face. This wasn’t just a post-game cool down; this was a man who had just carried an entire franchise on his bare back.

​In 2018, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals meant LeBron had reached the ultimate stage for the 8th consecutive year (4 with Miami, 4 with Cleveland). That 2018 postseason run was arguably the greatest individual carry-job in sports history. Just check these numbers:
•​82 Games Played: He played every single regular-season game for the first time in his career at age 33.
•​Playoff Carry: He averaged 34.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 9.0 assists per game in the 2018 playoffs.
•​Clutch Greatness: He dropped eight 40-point games in that single postseason run, tying Jerry West for the most in a single playoffs history, and hit two iconic game-winning buzzer-beaters (against Indiana and Toronto).

​When people debate the Greatest of All Time, they look at rings. But when you look at sheer, unadulterated dominance and the ability to control a basketball game, this version of LeBron was the apex predator. This picture hits different because we will likely never see a single player carry a workload like this ever again.
