Lebron puts up his loaded box score numbers because he has the ball in his hands every possession & he basically runs a drive & kick system to run his numbers up.
When MJ was placed in a similar role in the late 80s, he put up 33/8/8. MJ put up monster box score numbers before Phil Jackson came in & installed a system. Even Kobe put up monster assist stats when he played a similar style as Lebron.
We just saw Westbrook & Harden put up monster stats across the board last season because they played that “archangel” offense Lebron runs.
Let’s not act like MJ doesn’t have crazy numbers himself when compared to Lebron.
Fact of the matter is, Lebron will always get his numbers because he is the system on his teams. I guarantee if he actually stopped trying to be the coach & GM on his teams, he would’ve won more than the 3 titles he had to squeeze out.
No MJ propogator uses the ring argument because it’s lazy. Although I see a lot of Lebron fans trying to use that strawman.
Lebron’s GOAT argument is built on excuses.
Might want to check your facts before you run off incorrect bs.
Just a quick check shows LeBron behind these players in usage: Harden, KP, Embiid, Russell, Giannis, Westbrook, Irving, Oladipo.
Ball in hands every possession to pump up stats? Nope. Try again.
Pardon?
Did I ever specifically refer to just this year?
Do any of those other guys play for the Cavaliers?
Harden, Westbrook & Giannis are the only guys who play a similar role to Lebron, and what do ya know? They all put up loaded numbers.
Lebron’s body of work over his career shows that my post is true.
Another example of a RealGM poster throwing out an advanced stat with zero context.
Try again.
