Which version should Lebron aim to be for this team?

[Nash]

The Magic version:
23ppg, 10apg, 7rpg

or

The regular Lebron:
27ppg, 7apg, 7rpg

[KobesFinger]

[Lebronxrings]

[Pushxx]

:lol :roll:

[J Shuttlesworth]

I liked how he played last night, mostly. Magic style will keep Love/Irving engaged. Lots of good dishes to Love last night

[imdaman99]

How about the version that isn't a beta and takes the leadership role?

How about you change your avatar, no one is gonna believe you're a Bosh fan?

[Theoo]

The regular Lebron:
27ppg, 7apg, 7rpg 55%fg in regular season
-> 5ppg 30%fg 5topg in clutch/finals

[TheMarkMadsen]

The one who can be 0-5 with 3 points and his team is still up 20.

With 7 assists in the first quarter. Proof that he can have a major impact on the game without scoring... unlike you know who

Not that difficult to get assist when you're passing to the eastern conference all star team.

Lebron played like Rubio for most of the game last night.

If those are the new expectations then..

But I thought LeBron turns all stars into scrubs?

Anyone who actually watched that game could see LeBron had a huge impact. Not his best game or anything, but certainly the right play style you want on a team like this.

And yeah he should probably be more like Rubio with the playmaking if Kyrie isn't going to step up and make plays. Not sure why that's supposed to be a diss

[ArbitraryWater]

I liked it last night, with some more 2nd half agression... MJ role with more assists but less Points...

Be the PG for the first half, rack up 6 assists or so, get the teammates going... Go at it yourself in the 2nd.

Like 25/7/9

And yes playing like Rubio aka bricking every jumper while dishing out 8 assist isn't the type of expectations I have for somebody who is supposed to be the best player in the league.

[BigBoss]

Lebron's never averaged 10 RPG in his career. What makes you think he can do it now? He's less explosive and thinner

Just like overrated Magic was able to in the West?

[TheMarkMadsen]

Nobody is denying that Magic played on stacked teams.

Then again, Lebron has never gotten close to magics passing numbers..

So..

[SpecialQue]

It's like you've run out of ways to jump on his nuts, so you're making up new ones.

That's because Magic was never expected to be the main scorer on his team.

Wonder how James' assist numbers would look if he played with the best center of all time, who also had the most unstoppable shot of all time and played in an era where defense was an afterthought?

[AirFederer]

LeHgh would do just fine

Wonder how James numbers would look while filling in for that center in the deciding game of the finals as a rookie.

He couldn't even score in a finals series where Wade was beasting and all he needed to do was score in double digits. And how long was that clown in the league by 2011? I mean, Lebron will never sniff Magic's HIV-encrusted underwear at this point. He's not as good and never will be as good. Anyone claiming that Lebron is on the same tier as Magic is a fvcking clown and should have their ISH, TV and internet privileges permanently revoked.

[Stempel, HERB]

This isn't a difficult question. Lebron should be the aim to be the player that best helps the team win. The trouble is, I don't think Lebron is capable of finding that balance without the opposing force of a huge personality like Riley to challenge him.

He likes to preach "Earned not given" but Ohio is cultivating quite the opposite atmosphere. Given not Earned. I don't think he's ever heard the word "No" past the age of 8. Well, maybe during the time he spent in Miami. The team bent over backwards for Love at what's widely believed to be Lebron's request. He's treated his hometown similarly to the way I would treat a fat chick. Bitch better show some gratitude towards my act of charity because I could do better.
