You'd think those pretty low scoring numbers for a top mvp candidate was due to having bad shooting nights. Not Lebron tho, he's out there playing the legacy game, always clean fg%, passing etc.. while his teammates work there butts off trying to get a win. Having to wait for him to wake tf up and stop playing. Trying to get kuzma and montrezz to win it for him in the 4th and shit.

Don't take it personal, just a simple subject.

No man i wanted to create a subject where we could share our opinions and learn from each other. I expected a analys from some of you but all i get is bronstans insulting me. As expected.

THAT hits me hard Drew :cry:

Got to conserve energy for stats that matter. What is effort anyway. You can't quantify it on a stats sheet right? Videos of Lebron being pushed into his defensive assignment by Kuzma will not show up in the stats. Why waste effort? :oldlol:

In the games you reference he took 23 shots a game in 43 minutes a night. That’s roughly 03 Kobe shot attempts in similar minutes(23 in 43 vs 22 in 41).

How many shots must one take to be playing for real?

You under the impression that’s an unusually low number of shots historically?

Lebron is playing traditional star ball. Some of these weird one man army situation seem to skew public perception.

20ish shots was kinda a lot for a long time. He’s on a good team. Why would he be putting up AI or Kobe with no help shots on a regular basis?

You make a good point OP. In this wide-open can't touch the player era you would think Lebron would score closer to 35 points a game. He'd be a 21.0 ppg player in the 90's. And in that era with real centers and true point guards he'd be 6 rebounds and 6 assist per game player. With only 6 1st-Team All-NBA Defensive awards he's a poor man's Scottie Pippen.

OP what's Legoat to activate mamba mentality, hoist 35 fadeaways, take teammates out of rhythm and chuck Lakers out of the game.

Unfortunately, he plays winning basketball and is way too cerebral for that

I hear you but i can't compare today's 20ish shots with Kobe's era or style. But most importantly i'm judging him as a top mvp candidate, he's either that and i'll gladly compare with other top mvp candidates like Kawhi who's averaging 30 something in 34 minutes or so.. Or he can be smart and save his energy, which i can understand and would like to see but let's not get ahead of ourselves with the compliments, he would've averaged 23 points or so without the extra ot minutes and still have espn ranking him the highest for MVP whatever they do for this weeks rankings. He's not passing the eye test either, been saying this for 3 years, too soft with his scoring.. still praised to the moon. He should rest like you said, but so should the mvp talk.

Lord knows what Scottie would've done in a Scottie Pippen System. And he basically invented the fast break three.

this beta brand was lottery in the West without AD

And the goat can't have sub-par jumpshooting skill and weak pure scoring ability because it doesn't translate over eras (the no-spacing eras had to take contested mid-range to average 30)

[3ball]

It's a skill-deficit because he can't take contested jumpers (see the above stats)

He lacks the elite/contested jumpshooting of MJ, Kobe, Kawhi, Bird or KD, so he needs a "closer" to hit the tough shots..

When he lulls the defender to sleep with dribbles and feints, and then hits an open, flat-footed "shot" (it isn't a JUMP shot), that's beginner shit.. not as bad as Giannis but just a couple levels up, and 10 levels below the all-time jumpshooting skill of Kobe and company listed above

[MaxPlayer]

You'd think those pretty low scoring numbers for a top mvp candidate was due to having bad shooting nights. Not Lebron tho

So you're complaining that LeBron didn't miss enough shots? Am I reading this correctly?

[light]

The Lakers were -3.0 without LeBron in those games. Team low obviously. They're basically a lottery team without LeBron.

He was the only thing holding them together.

He had to pace himself so he could be available at the end of the game because he knew they would need him.

They were a lottery team with Lebron until AD whined his way out of NOP, fakket.

28,7ppg over 3 games is low scoring for an MVP candidate?

Check out the minutes, the shot attempts and watch him play. It's been like this for while now. And it's not about being a random mvp candidate, it's about being the favourite for that mvp award. That's foolish.
