"Forty, 41, 42," James answered. "In regular-season pace, I can give you all 48. I play extremely hard throughout the postseason, and I'd be cheating my team if I said I could go out and play 48 minutes. I think that's impossible."
James proved it was possible, at least in the conference finals. To top it off, James was playing on a sore right leg after Larry Nance Jr. fell into him in Game 6. He was still receiving treatment on the leg in his hotel room on Saturday night, a team source told ESPN.

Yeah when I look at resume's of these 5 guys they are all great:
Jordan = 6 Championships, 5 League MVP's, 6 Finals MVP's, 10 Time Scoring Champ, 9 Time 1st Team Defense - Cant really top that.
Kareem = 6 Championships, 6 League MVP's, 2 Finals MVP's, NBA All-Time Leading Scorer.
Magic = 5 Championships, 9 Finals Appearances, 3 League MVP's, 3 Finals MVP's, won Finals MVP as a Rookie when Kareem couldn't play, and is the All-Time leader in NBA history in Assist average with 11.2 a season.
Kobe = 5 Championships, 7 Finals Appearances, 1 League MVP, 2 Finals MVP's, 9 Time 1st Team Defense, 81 Point game.
LeBron = 3 Championships, 9 Finals Appearances, 4 League MVP's, 3 Finals MVP's, just made his 8th straight Finals in a row!
Only thing is, he is 3-5 in the Finals. Looking at maybe 3-6!
So where does LeBron stack up against these guys realistically?
