Statistical facts about Lebron's poor team assist capability:



1) Lebron's teammates see lower assists alongside him (and higher assisted rate, aka he turns them into play-finishers)

2) Reducing his teammate's assists equals low TEAM assist rankings (despite all-time playmaking help, aka wade, kyrie, rondo, westbrook, mo, hughes, snow)

3) The common thread in Lebron's Finals losses is massive deficits in team assists

4) Lebron turns a highly-assisted position (forward) into a low-assisted one (PG), thus lowering the assist capacity of the team compared to normal teams with highly-assisted, off-ball forwards.

5) Lebron's low-assist teams never achieved a #1 ranked offense in 2 decades despite many coaches, 1 seeds, super-teams and 1b teammates


CONCLUSION: Lebron essentially hogs his team's assists with his frontcourt ball-dominance.. He starts at forward but then becomes a 2nd point guard on the floor (2nd player with a point guard hold-time) - these 2 point guard lineups give teammates less hold-time and assists than they get in traditional 1 point guard lineuips, so the TEAM has low assists and a brand that struggles on the championship level.

Assists going only one-way, from ball dominator to awaiting teammates, does not contribute to an overall winning team game.
