No one has been more accurate from the post-up than LeBron James this season.

Remember all those Nike commercials over the summer about LeBron James working on his post game? Remember when James made the trip to see Hakeem Olajuwon? Remember before the season when he told ESPN's Rachel Nichols "I got a lot of tricks up my bag" when talking about his post game?

It seems James is walking the walk, so to speak.

On Monday night against the Milwaukee Bucks, James looked unstoppable from the block. He hit eight of his nine shots on post-up plays according to Synergy Sports, a tracking service that feeds data to NBA teams. James looked confident, powering his way from the perimeter all the way into the paint and hitting fadeaway jumpers like he had something to prove. As you can see in the above photo, the Bucks tried everyone from Stephen Jackson to Carlos Delfino to Shaun Livingston -- and James overpowered them all.

This has been a growing trend this season. Since the Heat don't have a traditional roster, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra has asked James to play more at the power forward slot than he ever has before and James has answered the call by turning his post game into one of his go-to weapons.

How good has he been there?

James has the highest field goal percentage on post-ups in the league. Among the 34 players this season with at least 75 post-up plays so far this season, James tops them all with a 55.4 field goal percentage on the block. Carl Landry, who is about as crafty as they come on the block, comes in second with a 51.9 percent conversion rate. Kobe Bryant (46.5), Dwyane Wade (46.2) and Dwight Howard (48.0)? All look up at James in the post-up rankings.

Here's the top ten in field goal percentage (minimum 75 post-ups) from Synergy Sports tracking.

What's different? Put simply, James' comfort level. James can talk about all the "tricks up my bag," but the greatest trick he has discovered is a mental one: confidence. James has embraced the post-up game more than he has in his entire career. Last season, he sparingly used his post-up even though he was quite efficient in that department, but now it's a regular part of his arsenal. Compared to last season, James has just about doubled his diet of post-ups from 2.1 plays per game to 4.1 plays per game in 2011-12.

But he's still not a finished product and still has plenty to work on. He still has a tendency to turn the ball over when he goes down to the block, which shouldn't be ignored. From an efficiency standpoint, he does not lead the league in points per post-up play. That distinction belongs to Landry, who has scored, on average, about 107 points every 100 post-ups. James still ranks third in overall efficiency in the post, but is dragged down by his high turnover rate (15.7 percent of his post-up plays).

Nonetheless, James is just about the most effective player in the post this season after being embarrassed by J.J. Barea at times in the Finals. And it's true, the referendum on James will never come in the regular season and it still remains to be seen whether he is comfortable enough to depend on the post on the big stage.

But after an offseason full of promises of a better post-up game, James is finally letting his game do the talking. And no matter how you feel about James, the results are impossible to ignore.
