Bron avg 34 in Finals as #1 defensive anchor...how much more with Pip?

[FromDowntown]

LeBron scores as much as Jordan and plays defense as good as Pippen. If he only hadto focus on scoring and could save his energy on defense like Jordan did how many points did he score?

Imagine if he had Pippen, the ten time all defensive player. Is he averaging 40 per series???

I’d say closer to 50ppg

This.

Cavs had #3 defense in 09' and #4 in 07'

So he had good defensive help and the opportunity to put up.numbers

But he simply lacks the jumper and mid-range required of high volume, so he shoots poorly at high volume/when forced to shoot high volume

Who was his Pippen again?

That’s because LeBron is a really good defender... with Pippen he could focus solely on offense

Bingo

Someone gets it

instead of waves of Iggy, Klay, Green and Durant being thrown at him and still averaging 35ppg


imagine getting checked by 34yo Jeff Hornacek behind the arc, only to be met at the rim by 36yo Antoine Carr :oldlol:


i dunno man, with a shortened 3pt line and illegal defense? LeGoatos was already dropping 50 bombs in gm 1 vs GOAT team of all time


imo 60 ppg is more realistic

Sounds like 55-60 is right

Lebron could focus solely on offense if pip was teammate



^^^ He already does that, which is why his teams have suffered defensively in regular season and PO

Otoh, the Bulls had a good defense because Pippen and MJ were top flight defenders..... and they were still only the #7 defense during the 1st three-peat..

Sorry, but Pippen still required MJ to a goat perimeter defender, in addition to goat scoring load and equal assists.. he'd make lebron do MORE, a lot more
