What are the chances that LeBron James has used HGH or Anabolic Steroids?

Regular season scoring rate and assist rate at career highs. TS higher than any year with Lebron.

His RPM is 4th among pgs which i am pretty sure is a career high:

This year will be the first time he actually played a playoff series without Lebron.

But the OP said his peak regular season production was with Lebron which is incorrect. Playoff production remains to be seen.

in what world is it possible Kyrie (or any player) cannot average a higher score being a first option in Celtics, vs being the second option in Cavs?

LeBron elevated a NON All Star in Kyrie to one of the coolest second options during the 2016 finals. LBJ did this as a result of his own GOAT play and leadership. Do you really think Kyrie will even come close to this production in Boston?

Kyrie was an All-Star twice before Lebron got there, once as a starter.

Why did Lebron lose to Dwight Howard or lose in round 2 with Shaq or miss the playoffs as soon as he switched to the Western Conference?

Bran stans stupidity is exposed to its greatest heights in any discussion of Kyrie Irving.

'but why does he score less in Boston???' this is essentially their level of understanding of the game. how can anyone buy their Legoat claims with such low levels of knowledge?

What’s the problem? :confusedshrug:

B-b-b-but his team made the Finals (2018 Cavs) without him and the ECF without him (2018) Celtics.

I swear he's really good!! :( :rant

In 2016, the year in which Kyrie was completely elevated to great heights, did he make the all-star?

Let's try this again. you claimed

"LeBron elevated a NON All Star in Kyrie"


If fact he was a 2 time All-Star and STARTED THE ALL-STAR GAME IN 2014 WHEN LEBRON WAS IN MIAMI.

He wasn’t good enough to make the all star team in 2016 when LeBron won the title

Of course he didn't make it in 2016. He didn't play his first game until December 20.


But he did make the AS game in:

2013
2014
2015
2017
2018
2019

So let's not pretend that he wasn't an AS caliber player in 2016 just because he missed 29 games due to injury.

For the record Kyrie averaged 25 ppg (shooting 44% from 3) during the playoffs that season.

The truth is, they were both good for each other. But maybe Kyrie wanted to create as well, which he wasn't gonna be able to do with Lebron and the team built around Lebron. Kyrie may be putting up nicer looking numbers now, but his efficiency was best with Lebron.

Based on what?

His TS has been higher the last 2 years in Boston than it was with Lebron.
