As everyone knows probably the biggest weakness and criticism in LeBron's game is that he can be way too passive and disappear at times. His physical abilities and skill have never been questioned but there have been several times particularly during playoff series where he has cost his team a series (Celtics 2010 & Dallas 2011) or when his team mates had to carry him for large stretches of games.
So far this playoff series we have seen the complete Lebron on show since he has been forced to take complete reigns with Kyrie not playing or limping and Love out. His leadership has been great and he has lead a team of good defensive role players around the court like a conductor.
For me the biggest turning point for LeBron is if he can maintain this aggressive style of play all the way through the finals even when things aren't going his way (not shooting well, turning the ball over a lot) since his has a tendency to become passive when that happens and not try to assert himself on the game like Kobe or MJ would even when they aren't shooting well.
It has always been the weakness that has held Lebron back towards the pack because an aggressive LeBron is undoubtedly the best player in the game, so let's see if he can keep playing this way all the way though.
