Remember the tougher era where everyone thought Lebron was killing it with 27/7/7

[3ball]

Now those numbers are kind of weak compared to his playoff standard post-2014 (in the warriors era, aka freedom of movement spacing era)

So that proves the recent, hyper-spacing format has inflated his playoff numbers, and his stats would get worse as the spacing got worse and worse in previous eras.

so he had higher playoff stats from 15-20' then 06-16', and his stats would follow this decreasing trend as the spacing gets worse in each era.. there's probably a point where his stats would start to go back up again due to weaker comp, probably around and he ABA merger


prior the less spacing he had

Dirk did what lebron thought was impossible - winning with a 1 star team - aka real karma

Dirk stuck it out in Dallas and beat a super-team, so lebron could've stuck it out in Cleveland and beaten the 1-star Mavs

His Cavs were already 60-win 1 seeds and the league favorite in 09/10, with further roster additions coming in 11' - so lebron left right before realizing his expectation.. his subsequent resume is therefore manufactured and distorted

LeBron does more than Jordan.

#4 is hurting the haters. Saw

[ELITEpower23]

This is just unhealthy.

It looks as if #4 is really getting to you. Either the gap is now closed up or will be very soon. LBJ needs a 5th ring or to pass Kareem in all-time RS scoring and it's a done deal.

LeBron is the only player in history with a 27/7/7 career average.

In the modern era only 6 players have averaged 27/7/7 in a season - Bird (1), MJ (1), Harden (1), Doncic (1), Westbrook (3) and LeBron (6).

So 27/7/7 is still quite a feat, even today.

[AirBonner]

LeBron’s averages for his career is what MJ only managed to average once.

[Roundball_Rock]

OP is a hypocrite--he talks about stat inflation but then compares current era stats to Pippen and argues Pippen's stats would decrease in this era. :roll:

Man, that will have to be updated a few times. It will probably be 19-20 all-NBA by the end. :bowdown:

ABA merger? This isn't 1970s.

Bubble ball though it seems every player shot better then normal. Besides that, I don't really see your point.

People need to realize that the defense isn't that bad today, the spacing is just way better and offenses are harder to defend. NBA has eliminated the low post Tim Duncan type offenses aka BAD offenses. The best offensive is having a center tall enough to defend and a good enough shooter to stretch floor (Anthony Davis).

Low post players isn't a thing anymore. That type of offense was never effective anyway. Duncan led offense were never elite until he let Parker/Manu take control.

I think Shaq is the only low post player who led elite offenses and he usually had Penny/triangle/Kobe.

[Ainosterhaspie]

No one has averaged 27/7/7 over the period from 2015-2020. Players have managed that over multiple seasons, but averaging out what they did over the whole time period, no one has met that mark. So even in an "easier era to get stats" no one can match what LeBron did during a more difficult era.

Imagine Jordan playing in a format UNHINDERED by the low post offense mentality...

Imagine him in a format OPTIMIZED for the perimeter athlete
