2. LeBron James, 2012

Win Shares: 5.82

In his first journey to a ring, LeBron was the most valuable he's ever been in a playoff run. Across 42.7 minutes per game, he averaged 30.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 23 contests. His .284 win shares per 48 are the highest of his career in a championship effort.

LeBron's 5.82 win shares made up 36.4% of his team's 16 actual wins. Deservedly so, James was handed his first Finals MVP for his dominant series against the Thunder.
