Is Lebron James the first triple-crown in the NBA?

[Electric Slide]

Best scorer in the league
best passer in the league

what other nba player was that good? wilt?

[imnew09]

One sided opinion.

CP is the best passer,
Melo is the best scorer,
Dwight is the best rebounder.

If Paul is a better passer, why was Lebron doing all the ball handling, passing, and decision making on the 2012 USA team?

Lebron is the best scorer, easily. Talk to me when either Melo or Durant can shoot a FG% of 55% or higher.

So, you're saying DeAndre Jordan is the best scorer then, yes?

I don't really see him as the best at any of those.

except Lebron averages about 26 points per game. His combo of volume and efficiency is tremendous.

No it isn't.

He passes up tons of open shots.

yea because he is not just the best scorer, he is also the best passer. wants to maximize everything he has, that's why miami is the inevitable back2back champs.

He is a worse passer than:

Chris Paul
Rajon Rondo
Greivas Vazquez
Steve Nash
And many, many more.

Won't even comment on the other part of your statement, because you're an idiot.

lebron passing skills is so underrated, chris paul once said that lebron is a bigger stronger version of him.

scoring wise, he maybe not the best pure scorer out there, but when he's determined to score he can rival any scorer out there in the league.

[Glass Ankles]

You are a very smart guy and I agree with you, Lebron wouldn't be the best player right now if he wasnt the best at those things you mentioned.

April 2013 finally brought some intelligent and logical posters.

[coin24]

I supposedly rep the Celtics but i dream of sucking LeBrons c0ck because my team is shit. Im jealous because Kobe has 5 rings and my choking hero ony has 0.5 rings

Triple Crown mostly refers to stats, the main categories, not opinions.

In baseball, it's batting average, RBIs and HRs. In the NBA, it would be points, rebounds and assists.

[red1]

lebron is the second best scorer, 3rd best passer, and 4th best perimeter defender

he does not have the crown for any of the categories you mentioned

[selrahc]

second best scorer? he is behind kobe, melo, durant.... hell he is even behind guys like steph curry.

third best passer? he is not even top 5 in assists and he dominates the ball all game

[lebeast666]

I don't know about best at all those. But he is the best at being an overall impactful player. Doesn't really focus on one thing but rather everything.

[red1]

Sadly kobe is done so he is out of the conversation. He is only slightly behind durant when it comes to scoring. He is on the same level as melo since a case can be made for either for #2.

Only rondo and cp3 are better passers IMO. There are many point guards in the league who if given the opportunity have what it takes to be considered better passers but at this point bron has shown us that he has top tier court vision and pin-point passing accuracy so he does get credit for that. Steve nash at this stage of his career is not a better passer.

[TheReal Kendall]

Lebron is basically a jack of all trades, master of none. Every category you named there are people that are better in those categories than him. He's an all around player.

These April 2013 posters are something else.

Best playmaker in the league. 10 straight triple double.

No, one of us will be lucky enough to become Mo Williams quality wise, with some goofy Boshes in there, while most will be Jason Kapono.

[DaSeba5]

I wonder who will become Wade, Melo, and Bosh.

I'll be Luke Walton.

Nah, it's 1986/2000 draft.

One of the will end up being Dennis Rodman. Some might become Brady Daughrety and Kenyon Martin, but won't be at a high level for long.

The rest will turn into busts even greater than Milicic like Marcus Fizer and Chris Washburn and will be out of the league ASAP.

possibly the big o?

31/13/11 in 61-62

he was 5th in scoring, but 2nd in TS%.

9th in rebounds, but he was a guard. it could be argued that he was the best naturally at rebounding, just short.

he was #1 in passing that year as well.

[longtime lurker]

Best scorer but no scoring title. Best passer but no passing title. I know these April 13 posters are idiots but seriously :oldlol:

Bron is the best overall player on the planet. Bar none. Period. Game set match. Checkmate.

[Kingwillball]

I dont know about the BEST at all 3 but definitely in top 3-5 in all 3 which is still very impressive. Lebron COULD lead league in Scoring or Assists any season if HE concentrated on one or the other.

He is not the best at any of those,
but he has the best combo of these 3 skills.

By far.

[Nash]

Best scorer: Melo/Durant
Best passer: Rondo
Best rebounder: Dwight

So no, but Lebron is top 10 in all which is amazing in itself.

[BoutPractice]

He is not the best at any of those,
but he has the best combo of these 3 skills.

By far.
> Absolutely.
I wonder who in the past had a comparable combination... A lot of legends had two of those, not three.
Generally it's easier to find it in all-around PGs like Walt Frazier, Gary Payton, Chris Paul... Quasi-points like Pippen to some extent... But all of those weren't as "exceptional" in every one of these categories, especially scoring.

You have to go way back in time to find decent examples. Jerry West and Oscar Robertson among guards, and the outlier at center: Wilt Chamberlain. (Bill Walton was an exceptional passer and defender but not enough of a scorer to be considered).

EDIT: Forgot Jordan too, obviously.

[Dragonyeuw]

Best scorer in the league subjective

[pauk]

Scorer: Lebron has a very strong case.

Passer: Lebron has a case if we are talking about court vision/passing skills here, not how many assists you can hot potato out as a balldominant 24-7 pass-first point-guard.

Defender: Lebron is the best allround defender in the NBA, he is the most versatile defender, if you mean by that then yes... but he is not the most impactful defender, there he is close anyways, but not the best.

[La Frescobaldi]

only one guy has won the Triple Crown - led the league in points, rebounds, and assists - in his entire career let alone in one season.

He isn't the best at any of thee, only scoring is close to the top.

[Trollsmasher]

Seriously one of the worst posts ever.
He has no case for any of those categories

Oh, tell me, how he does not have a case for being the best scorer? He has a 3rd highest career ppg in the history, has more 30 ppg seasons than Durant and Melo combined and he is the first player in the history to shoot 56/40, doing that on 27 ppg while getting the 2nd lowest amount of FTAs in his career.

I know you are a Kobe fan trying to look objective, but you are not doing a good job. Posters like you are what is making April 2013 class look bad.

[lpublic_enemyl]

So, you're saying DeAndre Jordan is the best scorer then, yes?
i think Tyson Chandler is 65%

Lol wut!?

Lebron is a ball dominant, as he has the ball all the time. If he doesn't get more assists is because he doesn't pass enough case closed. And don't even try to pretend he can play off ball.


in defense, while he is versatile he's not the best defender in the L. For example he struggles to defend Melo when he play against him, he does a job as good as anyone but not to the point of hurting his numbers that bad. The same can be said about Durant. That's because he has to get points though so it's not a knock on him, he's still pretty good.
