View Full Version : So... can we agree that LeBron has showed no signs of slowing down?

He's picked up where he left off last season when he was leading the MVP race before the ankle injury.

22 games into the 2021-2022 season, LeBron is putting up:


- 27.4/6.8/6.5/1.7/1.0 on 61.4% TS


14 games since the suspension, he has put up:


- 30.0/7.9/6.8/1.6/1.2 on 62.87% TS


He has done all of this despite being on a subpar team that isn't maximizing his potential. He's scoring in spite of his teammates a lot of the time, creating offensive brilliance when he should be benefitting from it more.

Whenever LA has gone to shooting-oriented lineups -- like those with LBJ at center -- his play has elevated. I'm sure he'd be playing even better if he got to benefit from an ideal lineup all the time.

From a scalenof 1-10. 10 being the highest.

How would you rate his defence?

I think he has slowed down a bit, in that he does a lot more on-court resting than he used to. He'll have high energy spurts, but he'll take most of a quarter off following. That's not bashing him either - the guy's 37 years old, so it's expected. And in fairness, he's playing very well for his age.

Empty stats in losses against bad teams. They've lost 5 in a row now and they've only faced one good team in the process (Suns).

Apparrently because being in your 19th season with Malik Monk as your #2 option is a solid squad now :lol

He's a ball-dominant loser that never evolved out of Westbrooking and having the offense revolve around him

So he never to elevate teammates above spot-up shooter, and therefore never learned to WIN (organic) and only learned to team-hop.

Because ball-dominance is a losing strategy that mostly loses regardless of supporting talent

Magic/Lebron are 9-10 in the Finals, which confirms that ball-dominance is a loser - if THOSE guys can't win with it despite super-teams, then it can't be done - ball-dominance is simply a loser, confirmed by the historical record.

So who cares about Lebron's westbrooking stats - he's a loser that doesn't know how to win (organic) and only knows how to team-hop

Hi.

Feel free to list EVERYONE in NBA history that was a better season 19, #1 option (+25 ppg) defender than LeAnchor.

Jordan won MVP, FMVP, scoring champ and he was #4 for DPOY at 35 years old

That's better than anyone ever played, regardless of age

The Westbrook hate and scapegoating from the Lebronies is ridiculous. Monk the #2 option, not Westbrook? Ooooook. What do you have to say about Westbrook dropping 30 points two games ago? Are you gonna tell me Westbrook has empty stats, but Labrone doesn't?

the panic level of legoat haters increases greatly with each historical season. just imagine next year when he's 38 and we have the "wizard years" to compare to. they might explode.

Little Mikey Jordan? That quitter couldn't cut the mustard on a season 19 campaign, he wasn't strong enough.

He mostly scores from the inside nowadays. Gets away with a lot of stiffarming and teams arent really trying to gyard him. If you watch him play, he is old.

He has definitely slowed down, are you serious? Watch the games.

Lebron being up to put up the stats he has just shows his greatness, but he is not at his peak at all.

Semantics. He's shown no discernable drop-off from his standard high level of play. Watch the games.

I disagree; LeBron IS still playing to his standard "prime" level. This roster construction + injuries/COVID is what's causing this team to lose.

He only plays one side of the court and his best scoring games have been against teams that aren't known for their defense.

So what you're saying is, Lebron needs the perfect situation to shine? You can say that about anyone and every team has been dealing with injuries and COVID.

Bron has a better 3 ball. He's slower because he you can see he sees a play 2 steps ahead and sometimes he can't recover.
