Yikes - say bye-bye to the Spurs' equal-opportunity offense - Lebron would crater the APG of everyone on that team, just like he does for all his teams:

There's a reason the stats show Lebron lowering the assist capacity of his team - starting fives normally have only 1 ball-dominant, low-assisted player that teammates rarely throw assists to - the point guard.. But Lebron's point guard style from the forward position adds a 2nd low-assisted player that teammates can't throw assists to - he turns a normally high assisted forward position into a low assisted one, which lowers the assist capacity of the team relative to other teams whose forwards are highly-assisted.. Not surprisingly, Lebron's presence as an additional, low-assisted player didn't materially improve the assist frequency (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=385446) of his Heat and Cavs teams.. Otoh, MJ was a highly-assisted, off-ball player, so his presence significantly increased the assist frequency of his teams, as the data linked above shows.

So it shouldn't be surprising that Lebron significantly reduces the APG and assist % of teammates - and he also increases their assisted rate - this proves Lebron's presence as an extra point guard turns teammates from playmakers into play-finishers, thus preventing the kind of equal-opportunity offenses that the the Mavs, Spurs, Warriors, and 90's Bulls used (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIY_4vIxGEE&t=23m40s), where all 5 guys share the playmaking duties - since Lebron prevents the best brand of basketball, various equal or less-talented teams have pulled upsets by playing a better brand of basketball (2009, 2011, 2014)..

Ultimately, Lebron's stats lack integrity because he accumulates them at the expense of teammates.. His stat accumulation is also helped by employing a stat-friendly, easily-solvable, playground style, rather than trying to win.. His stat-friendly style is far less impressive than the superior, nuanced skill MJ needed to achieve stats within an equal-opportunity offense that can actually win.

Lebron planning his next collusion?


It will not be the Spurs, cause they are a western team :lol

[knicksman]

still comes down to whos clutcher. That ability to score when it matters. And as long as they dont have that kind of player, bran will never again win a ring. Hes really just hoping in kyrie right now.

[MellowYellow]

Spurs needed Duncan to play 35min to beat a knicks team that has no experience together.

[poido123]

He won't leave the Cavs, but he will recruit his ass off to get every relevant player he can to stack his team...


Just a new era of basketball we put up with now. Guys would rather team up than take a challenge.

[Alamо]

Seems like Warriors can never beat the Spurs. Kawhi and Danny shut the splash brothers down every time
