As an 18-year-old rookie, James led the Cavaliers in scoring.[293] He holds numerous "youngest to" distinctions,[294][295] including being the youngest player to score 30,000 career points.[296] During his first stint in Cleveland, he was primarily used as an on-ball point forward, and although his shooting tendencies were perimeter-oriented,[5] he established himself as one of the best slashers and finishers in basketball.[297][298] His combination of speed, quickness, and size often created matchup problems for opposing teams because he was capable of blowing by larger defenders and overpowering smaller ones.[299] These qualities became more apparent in transition, where he developed a reputation for grabbing defensive rebounds and then beating the defense downcourt for highlight reel baskets.[300] Around this time, James was frequently criticized for not having a reliable jump shot or post game.[301] Teams would try to exploit these weaknesses by giving him space in the half court and forcing him to settle for three-pointers and long two-pointers, a strategy famously used by Spurs coach Gregg Popovich in the 2007 Finals, where James converted on only 36 percent of his field goals in four games.[302]
