In his first playoff game, LeBron James displayed much more verve than nerves. The 21-year-old wunderkind became the third player in NBA history to register a triple-double in his postseason debut, helping lead the Cavs to a win over the Wizards.
It would be a sign of things to come. James and his Cavs advanced past Washington in six games, and then took the defending East champion Detroit Pistons to a decisive Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Other players highlighted in the series include Dwyane Wade, who led the Heat on their "run" to the NBA Championship (episode airs Oct. 31) and Elton Brand, on a career-long "run" to get to the playoffs, culminating last season with the Clippers ending their long playoff drought.
