Wait... how did 6'7 LeBron outrebound Tristan Thompson last playoffs?

[dubeta]

:biggums:



:biggums:



LeBron averaged 11.3 rebounds a game, compared to Tristan Thompsons 10.8



And before you talk about minutes, LeBron played 42 minutes to Tristan's 36 minutes, not a big deal




How did LeBron out rebound the 'Best Rebounder in the Eastern Conference'? For an entire playoffs? :wtf:


Can you imagine if Kobe out rebounded Prime Shaq in a entire playoff run? That's the equivalent of what happened here

[plowking]

He missed bunnies at the ring and rebounded a lot of those. He also guarded the useless centres a large chunk of the game, so he was close to the ring.

Soo... in other words


LeBron was clearly the best rebounder on a team featuring, Thompson, Kevin Love, and Mosgov :wtf:




LeBron has led his team in rebounding for the last 4 years in the playoffs :biggums:

[kennethgriffin]

the real question is


why does lebron average 6 rebounds during the regular season

then average 11 rebounds during the playoffs


i'l tell ya why

because hes a lazy sack of sh*t in his old age... and probly wont be around much longer


lebrons never showed much passion for the game. he brushes off finals losses like theyre another day in the gym


he doesnt have the killer instinct necessary to be legendary

[DaOldLion]

Is op seriously comparing Shaq to TT in the rebounding department :biggums:

TT is 6'9 and Lebron is 6'8 and besides TT grabbed nearly doubled the amount of offensive rebounds as Lebron did

[AnaheimLakers24]

Le2/6 played more so had more chances


2/6 soon to be 2/7

Nice try, but we all know Tristan Thompson had a growth spurt at the age of 20


https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/2jg96l/tristan_thompson_confirms_hes_grown_to_610_from_68/


He's 6'10 without shoes now (same height as Dwight Howard)


So he has 3 inches on LeBron



Plus he has a more well-built frame, and higher leaping ability





And he still got less rebounds than Lebron?? :wtf:

Where's 2011 Lebron on that finals 2nd option list kenneth

Actually Lebron was the 3rd option in the 2011 finals

Bosh and Wade had higher Usage rates

[kennethgriffin]

you can knock overall averages due to kobes injured 2000 finals

but he did his part in 2001 and 2002


even if you dont count him saving shaqs legacy in the 2000 WCF and game 4 of the nba finals



at the end of the day. people can laugh at kobes average with if they compare it to michael jordan when kobes taking half the shot attempts


but for a 2nd scorer hes the greatest that ever lived...


then he took over LA and proved he was better than shaq by carving out a top 10 all time resume even if you cut off everything he did with shaq






lebron on the other hand.... without wade/bosh = 0 for 2 in the finals, 27% beyond 5 feet


:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Either TT is massively overrated as a player (whos only specialty is rebounding)

or...


Lebron James is just that good.

Pick your poison you pathetic, virgin lebron butthurtians. :banana:

Oh.. the Family is back... :banana: :cheers:

[ImKobe]

Thompson played 36 mpg and averaged 10.8 boards with 4.4 ORB
Bran averaged 42.2 mpg and averaged .5 more boards with 1.9 ORB

Thompson was the better rebounder and his rebounds were way more valuable considering how many times he kept possessions alive on the offensive end

[Coach Eddie]

Weak troll attempt. LeBron only got more rebounds because of more minutes. Tristan had more rebounds per 36, and is only 1 inch taller, which is negligible.

[sportjames23]

You would think Bron stans would lay low after their boy was humbled last season. Hell, the last TWO seasons. 2/6 gotta hurt like a sumumabitch.

Quite interesting.

Lebron isn't quite the freak in terms of physical measurements, but simply due to his output, or muscle fibres as an athlete.

Someone like Kawhi Leonard or Kevin Durant are far more physically freakish, just simply don't possess the athletic traits. Although I think Durant is every bit as fast, and even more agile than James. Simply lacking in strength.

Please stop with this retarded argument.
Kobe against the West in 2002 averaged 26 / 4.4-apg on 49%TS.

There is a long list of 2nd options who put up better stats then that including Pau fukking Gasol.

There is more to the game then "muh ppg" kiddo.

I mean any decent All-Star wing can score around 25ppg on terrible efficiency especially when the opposing defenses are all over Shaq and 4.4-apg isn't exactly that hard to get either especially when you're throwing Shaq a few "gimme" alley-oops each game.

So please.
Kobe was Pippen level in 00 & 02.
Stop revising history. He wasn't in the same galaxy as Shaq outside of the 01 run.

:applause:

The eye-tests attests to the fact that Tristan Thompson garnered more hustle rebounds, having averaged nearly 3 more offensive rebounds per game than him

[Genaro]

Why people diminish somebody's high to prop up their achievements? Lebron is 6"8"

[Dresta]

How? This is how:


LBJ: Rebounds per game: 11.3
TT: Rebounds per game: 10.8

LBJ: Contested rebounds per game (opponent within 3.5 feet): 3.8
TT: Contested rebounds per game (opponent within 3.5 feet): 5

LBJ: Uncontested rebounds per game (no opponent within 3.5 feet): 7.4
TT: Uncontested rebounds per game (no opponent within 3.5 feet):5.8

Out of the top 10 rebounders per game (2015 playoffs) of Dwight, James, Tristan, Dray, Deandre, Blake, Bogut, Timofey, Millsap and Horford.....Lebron James has the LOWEST contested rebound percentage out of all of them at 34.1% Funny enough, his teammates Timofey is the highest at 52.1%


So it's because he's a statpadding chode, and he didn't outrebound TT on a per minute basis even when shamelessly padding away.

[AnaheimLakers24]

Lol at lebrickface being 6'7

[OldSchoolBBall]

Because Thompson was doing the hard work boxing out the bigs and Lebron would swoop in uncontested and grab the boards. That's how.
