Is Lebron's longevity underrated?

[JT123]

12 straight seasons averaging at least 25 ppg :eek: :bowdown:
Can anyone honestly name the last player to accomplish that? Keep in mind this is with his body being taxed by deep playoff runs EVERY YEAR. He wasn't able to rest his body during his prime years by losing in the first round multiple times (Kobe) or taking a 2 year vacation (MJ) :confusedshrug:

[sd3035]

His supplements are underrated

[COnDEMnED]

What longevity?

[Lebron23]

What longevity?

He's been a legit over 25 ppg since his sophomore season. and he's playing starter minutes since he was 18 while Kobe Bryant was coming the bench in his first 2 NBA Seasons.

OP talking about Bron longevity when a guy like Duncan who has won in 3 different decades is still playing....:lol

He's in his 13th season in the NBA, and still one of the best players in this league.

Lebron has never been below ATLEAST 25/5/5 on great percentages for literally every one of his seasons except his rookie year.

[G0ATbe]

He's still in his prime years:facepalm . And putting up nice stats at a young age isnt longetivity, it's being an nba ready statpadder.

OP made a thread about "Lebron's longevity", WTF does Duncan has to do with "Lebron's longevity". Do you have any logic at all you dumb POS?

Wow this guy is slow....

Here let me break it down for you.....

Talking about longevity when there is no longevity is a troll post that you fell for. I tried to help you out by referencing Duncan, but your lack of understanding sound logic removed such a possibility for you.

Also his 12th straight year averaging 25+ ppg AND 6+ apg. Kobe has only done this twice. Jordan only 3 times.

[Straight_Ballin]

The only thing worthy of respect is his seasons pre "decision".

Anything after that is a disrespected mess of collusion and beta decision making.

[ROCSteady]

I'll give him credit for that, impressive durability.


LeBron is almost the Alexander Ovechkin of hoops except not as good of a scorer

How about a 15 year career averaging 30.1 ppg????... :biggums:

Imagine if your favorite player scored 5-7 more ppg in the playoffs on better efficiency across the board - that's what MJ did in comparison to Lebron:


Career Playoffs - PER GAME:

JORDAN: 33.4 ppg.. 1.7 oreb.. 4.7 dreb.. 5.7 apg.. 3.1 tov.. 2.1 spg.. 0.9 blk.. 48.7 fg.. 56.8 ts.. 118 ORtg
LEBRON: 28.2 ppg.. 1.5 oreb.. 7.2 dreb.. 6.7 apg.. 3.5 tov.. 1.7 spg.. 0.9 blk.. 47.3 fg.. 56.5 ts.. 114 ORtg


Career Playoffs - PER 100 POSSESSIONS:

JORDAN:. 43.3 pts.. 2.2 oreb.. 6.1 dreb.. 7.4 ast.. 4.0 tov.. 2.7 stl.. 1.1 blk.. 48.7 fg.. 56.8 ts.. 118 ORtg
LEBRON:. 36.5 pts.. 2.0 oreb.. 9.3 dreb.. 8.6 ast.. 4.5 tov.. 2.2 stl.. 1.2 blk.. 47.3 fg.. 56.5 ts.. 114 ORtg


Career Finals - PER GAME:

JORDAN: 33.6 ppg.. 6.0 rpg.. 6.0 apg.. 2.8 tov.. 1.8 spg.. 0.65 bpg.. 48.1 fg
LEBRON: 26.4 ppg.. 9.6 rpg.. 6.9 apg.. 4.0 tov.. 1.8 spg.. 0.54 bpg.. 44.6 fg


There's never been a number 1 option that scored 5-7 more ppg on better efficiency that wasn't considered the FAR better player.

Jordan's massive scoring edge on superior efficiency is far more valuable than Lebron's 1.0 assist edge (with more turnovers) and 2.5 def rebound edge (MJ had more offensive rebounds).

Lebron's assist edge is particularly meaningless considering he achieves his assists by lowering his TEAMMATES' assists and playmaking, as the stats show in the previous post.

Furthermore, Jordan scored 10 more ppg than his 2nd option for every playoff series of his career AND led the team in passing (MJ led the Bulls in assist percentage for both 3-peats (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11713121&postcount=49))... Lebron was never required to lead his team in scoring by THAT much - he has several series where he wasn't even the team's leading scorer.

ring chasing usually begins at the end of a long career (ex. Malone, GP, Garnett, Alan). Lebron got into that mode after his first 6 years. That is the opposite of longevity :lol

Kobe got into that mode when he entered the NBA. So about 20 years. 4/5 rings were sidekick and/or ref assisted.

:eek: When did kobe ring chase? For argument sake, lets say shaq was on the laker team before kobe joined (in reality he wasn't). A rookie joining a team with only one superstar is not ring chasing.

It's called HGH you illiterate ****.

[Dave3]

Top 3 player for a decade. That's legit longevity yeah. 25000 points 6000 assists and rebounds while still arguably the best player in the league. By far the most minutes played in the league since being dtafted 13 years ago and again, arguably the best player in the league. Undeniable longevity.

[Prometheus]

Not so much his longevity (yet... we'll see), but he's the most durable player in the modern era by far.

Jesus...this is possibly your most cringe-worthy post ever...are you seriously talking shit on longevity (while being unable to spell it) now? All you babble on about is "alpha this" and "beta that"...just complete nonsensical bullshit.

I would call it his second most cringe-worthy post. I once saw him say "passing is for betas".

Condemned is a superb moron in this thread. One of those guys who doesn't sound that dumb but when you look back at what they say you wonder if they are capable of understanding much of anything at all.

thank god half of these guys stopped posting after the Finals. I get that it's a JT123 thread so you can't take it seriously but this thread seriously shows how dumb ISH is.

[theaussieguy]

nah, his hairline had POVERTY longevity and that drags him down overall. Still pretty good overall t ho.

[AirBonner]

Absolutely underrated. Think about it. Since the time he has been in the league his haters have gone on to have kids or die virgins. They have raised these kids to hate LeBron. Michael Jordan is the only one to have that type of multi generational hate. What a time.

yeah its pretty amazing tbh, I remember that one time in Miami he came down real awkward on his knee. Shakes it off and is back to 40 inch verticals in 5 minutes.

This. Its amazing. It's funny how some players are athletic as hell and can't touch a 40in vert.

[aj1987]

It was in 2013 during the streak. I can't find that video anywhere on YT.

[fourkicks44]

Besides some cramps at vital times. It should define him. Dunno if underrated is the right description but his longevity should be one of the natural wonders of the world.

He's incredibly resilient.
