# 5 LeBron James the man to look upon

The three-time NBA champion and four-time NBA Most Valuable Player haunted the side from Canada once again as he finished the game with 35 points to his name with 17 assists and 7 rebounds, while notably becoming the first player in history to record such figures without a single turnover.

James absolutely took over in the fourth. He scored 14 points on three-of-four shooting from the field, draining seven of his nine free throw attempts.

James made bullet passes to his teammates, who netted almost every open shot. Like the pass to Ante Zizic in the third quarter, with 04:58 left on the clock. James was in flow of his layup when he saw Zizic standing free at the 3 point line and passed the ball in no time which the Croatian netted without fail.
