Not a clue. Let me hit up Morgan Freeman.

Lebron’s averages? I don’t know, maybe 30/9/9 61 ts%? I don’t think he scores quite the way Harden is and I don’t think he was ever capable of that in a regular season.

Note, i do think they are better overall though because of Lebron’s defense, and they don’t lose much if anything on offense imo.

29/8/8, but they'd be higher seeded right now. Harden is doing fantastic but i don't see that early season slump with 2013 LeBron.

I think being with D'Antoni would boost his stats. Doubt he would shoot this many 3s though. But he'd have more room to operate and pile up a lot or assists.

Well, we already saw LeBron on a bad team last year and he put up 28/9/9 in the RS. I think 2013 LeBron was worse skillwise but better athletically, and D'Antoni's system would help production wise. I think he'd bump scoring up to 30-31 ppg. I don't see LeBron going higher.

Prime LeBron would absolutely run away with the scoring title in Harden's situation.

Harden's effortless foul drawing and 3pt sq
Swinging for the fences.

Rockets would have better record with Lebron.

His assist numbers would be down with the turds Harden plays with.

But his effeciency and defense would probably make him& the team overall. But he wouldnt score as well.

29.8/8/6 on 55%

2013 Lebron with D’Antoni in this no defense NBA ? Scary,

I could see 33/10/8 on 64 TS%. Lebron was that good in 2013 people.
