It's no secret that LeBron is known as the King, and it's no secret that he is routinely found torching the Sacramento Kings. But Friday, the 13th of March, 2009, was something different.

You may have seen the boxscore (if not, click here), and it's a ho-hum 51 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 3 blocked shots.

He takes over games like you changed the difficulty setting back to rookie in the fourth quarter so you can beat the CPU.

Yeah, it went to OT vs. the Kings, but he put up 16 in the fourth quarter. Do you realize how hard it is to do that? Scottie Pippen averaged 16.1
