Three years ago - March 3, 2014 - was a big day in LeBron James' career. The then-Miami Heat superstar scored a career-high 61 points in a 124-107 victory over the then-Charlotte Bobcats.
That's 49.2 percent of his team's total scoring output. He was also wearing a mask as a result of a broken nose suffered two weeks earlier.
James remains one of 23 players to drop 60 or more in an NBA game.
