Welcome to another episode of In The Zone. I'm your host, Chris Broussard.

We've got a great show for you today.

We check in with the interview with Howard Beck, longtime NBA writer from Bleacher Report.

He gives us some great insight on the NBA playoffs and a few other matters

going on around the association. But first, as always, we're going to hit you with a top five.

And remember, throughout the playoffs, we are doing the top five postseason player power rankings.

So checking in at number five, none other than the best player on the planet,

LeBron James.

Do not blame LeBron for the Cavaliers being in a two-two dog fight with the lowly Indiana Pacers.

He is doing it all. He's been phenomenal. He leads the calves in scoring,

32 points a game, rebounding, 12 boards a game, assist eight a game, even blocks won a game,

all while shooting 54% from the floor. But everybody needs at least a little bit of help.

Here's how little bit of help LeBron is getting.

All four of the guys that started with him in game four,

every single one of them is shooting below 40% from the field in this series.

Kevin Love, supposed to be his number two.

Now that Kyrie Irvin has gone, 12 points a game in the series.

LeBron needs some help, but I'm not going to punish him individually.

He's at number five.

At number four, Ben Simmons.

Some call him LeBron James' proe protege, but he is not playing like anyone's protege right now.

He is taking the NBA by storm.
