85 sixers-04 Lebron
86 sixers-05 Lebron
87 sixers-06 Lebron
88 sixers-07 Lebron
89 sixers-08 Lebron
90 sixers-09 Lebron
91 sixers-10 Lebron
92 sixers-11 Lebron
93 suns-12 Lebron
94 suns-13 Lebron
95 suns-14 Lebron
96 suns-15 Lebron
97 rockets-16 Lebron
98 rockets-17 Lebron
99 rockets-18 Lebron
00 rockets-19 Lebron


If we assume he plays like he did

Very good shot
1993
1994
1997
1999

Solid shot
1990
1998
1996

Low shot
1996


Probably gets 4-6.

It took pretty ridiculous circumstances for him to not win 2-3 from 2015-2018 lol, so put him in some solid squads and I think it’s pretty good odds

93-95 should almost be a given since how close they were period, almost 3 game 7 losses to the champs (lost to bulls by 1 ofc in g6)

maybe not enough to beat the bulls but they probably get to the finals, in 1996.

1997 and 1998 would be wins I think. I mean he dragged a 20 win team to the finals in 2018, and 2017 was probably his highest level of play

You seem pretty high on lebron in the 80's/90's

Where does 91 and 92 slot for you?

Assuming he played somewhat how he did then bro got beat so bad he yeeted off to Miami and then took a dump against jj barea lol

Obv it’s not that simple but I feel if we stay true to how his career went he did need to take an L or two for his Cleveland super offense peak to come, so he doesn’t win those years for me

It’s not really being high on him in that era if anything, replacing Barkley with a GOAT candidate (and probably frontronner in terms of career value) with his best years often coinciding with good chances will do that. I mean his three year Miami run (2011 don’t count) coincides with times when they’re probably the second best in the nba, + 1997 they were reasonably good with a post prime Barkley, 1998 had health issues to an extent and 1999 was solid as well. Replacing at this point at this point a post all star Barkley with arguably the GOAT 3 year postseason stretch in terms of level of play moves the needle a lot in general

do you see 2010 as similar to 2011 then? There was a drop in defensive value per impact stuff from 09 iirc. But i can't recall if lebron had gained too much weight by then or the year after
