LeBron's impact on the floor

I don't want to sound like a homer or look like I'm washing LBJ's balls but the impact he had on tonight's game was insane. Everytime he left the floor, San Antonio would kill Miami and the Heat have trouble scoring even with having two or three HOFers on the floor in Wade, Bosh and Ray Allen.

His defense was crazy good, scrambling all over the floor and he went off tonight too. It's just times like this where the difference between him and the rest of league is illustrated so clearly.

Everybody knows that. No need for a new thread.

This game alone showcases why he's already a Top 5 player of all time.

The real story here is the A/C's impact on LeBron.

Lebron ON: 115.8 ORTG, 105.8 DRTG, +10.0 Net

Lebron OFF: 111.4 ORTG, 119.5 DRTG, -8.1 Net

Spoiler:
+18.0 Net ON/OFF

---------------------------------------------------------------

Miami offense still at +12.7 through 17 games now, with 2 home games in Miami coming. They were able to sustain a 127 ORTG against Indiana at home so I don't think 120ish is out of the realm of possibility.

In the Spurs series:

Lebron ON: 111.8 ORTG, 103.5 DRTG, +8.3 Net

Lebron OFF: 95.7 ORTG, 147.8 DRTG, -52.2 Net

+60.4 Net

That LeBron OFF data in the Spurs series is ridiculous. Only two games yes, but wow. Role players should play better at home next 2 games.

I can't believe the OP of that thread tried to build the case the LeBron has no NBA skills.

The only reason Im not big on the Heat is because the whole team is centered around Bron...They look lost without him, barely any teamwork. Thats on the coach. LBJ is an amazing player and I think he goes top 3 all time.

I wish he could play 48 minutes a game. Wouldn't have any worries against the Spurs

This statement alone shows why he gets illogical hate to the other extreme because people say stupid stuff like this and people fight absurd with absurd.

It's because "He went in flour, came out cake".

I think he deserves more appreciation. Even though I'm only 21, I've watched a lot of basketball in my life. What Lebron tonight was brilliance. Sheer brilliance and people are too busy trying to analyze this and that to appreciate just how damn good he really is.
