LeBron James, 2011-12

nERD: 23.7

In case you didn't think we were covering all four of LeBron's MVP seasons, here's the last of them. This season, his second with the Heat, James played in only 62 regular season games but averaged 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 37.5 minutes per game.

It wasn't a career year, by LeBron's standards. Despite that, he managed a PER of 30.7, a box plus-minus of 11.0 and .298 win shares per 48 minutes. The Heat went on to win the title.
