3rd straight triple double (at age 40) doing goat things dropping 35 with it

oldest player to get 3 straight triple doubles

2022 lebron at age 39 and 319 days
2019 lebron at age 34 and 310 days
2009 jason kidd at age 34 and 291 days


dont you ever compare my glorious king to a ball headed gambler coke head son

Nice to have the record.

But also important to note that a triple double today is easier to get then prior eras. Today's 25/10/10 seems only roughly equal to yesteryears 19/7/7 such as the 2009 era mentioned for Jason Kidd.

No-ones given a shit about triple doubles since Westbrook showed how easy it is to pad them.

It's not 1995. A triple double is like someone hitting 5 threes in a game. Who cares?

OP's chair has wheels

This. An inflated stats era. Didn't Wemby drop 50 and Giannis drop something like 59 yesterday too?

MJ has no losses with favored talent, while Lebron underachieves favored talent the most among any player in the last 25 years, and we know why - his high-scoring dribbling or point guard skillset has a high volume of unassisted buckets that leaves teammates standing around in spot-up roles, thereby producing zero teammate development, weak chemistry and perennial losers with every cast.

High-scoring triple-doubles by perimeter players have a high volume of unassisted buckets (ball-domination) that leaves teammates standing around in spot-up roles - this yields weak teammate development, chemistry and perennial losers with every cast.. The spot-up roles also lower teammate assists across the board, so the team cannot become a high assist team with a lot of ball movement like the teams that beat Lebron (Nuggets, Spurs, Warriors, Mavs, Magic).. The common thread in all of Lebron's playoff losses for the last 10 years is deficits in team assists.

It matters that high-scoring ball-dominators have a weak brand of ball because it underachieves favored talent more than any other skillset.. Specific examples of underachieving favored rosters include Lebron having the most losses ever with the preseason favorite or in the Finals, and more losses with homecourt, all-star teammates and top seeds than Kobe, Curry or Jordan.. And more 4-0 sweeps/record losses as well.

Finally, the game logs from 2020-2025 show that it's bron-ball against the weak teams and AD-ball against the top teams... People forget that unlike jumpshooters such as Curry or MJ, Lebron cannot drop 40 while the ball moves, so he lacks sufficient brand at carry-job volume to beat top teams and therefore needs all-time scoring help.. Specifically, in the Finals, Lebron needs an equal-scoring partner to attract equal defensive attention, so he never defeated max defensive attention (never carried scoring load in Finals), and he also never carried weak help over top teams (never beat a top 5 SRS team with weak scoring & efficiency from a sidekick)... But sure meh, 3 triple-doubles in a row..

Lebron can't beat top teams like that and never has, so it's AD-ball against the top teams.

And no one cares about the play of a 39 year old because it's nothing compared to him at 29, or any other all-time great.. It might be the best ball-domination that we've seen for a 39+year old, but it ranks about 150th all-time otherwise (or worse).

Also, the league has evolved (or devolved) into a format where a player with that many shots or touches cannot be held down - 20% of the league will get 30/10/10 if the ball is put in their hands to run today's standard "down-hill" and spaced floor format.. The beginner format achieves pretty stats but gets exposed in international formats, which now produce the best players... People don't realize that Lebron, KD and Curry are great because they didn't grow up in today's format, but they're the last of American great players because the beginner format that Adam Silver/Lebron cooked up CANNOT and DOES NOT produce great players (and allows anyone to dominate).

Lebron: most chokes of all time. By a MILE.

[QUOTE=Full Court;14957024]Lebron: most chokes of all time. By a MILE.[/QUOTE]


That's true - it started in Game 4 of the 2009 ECF when he had a historic 7 turnovers in the 4th quarter to lose the critical game that swung the series - this was his first choke and he became a 12 turnover per game player in clutch-time for that series (last 5 within 5), while making the defensive blunder of guarding Courtney Lee instead of his own position.

So the 09' ECF was his first choke and he lost with 18 on 38% from Mo, so that started the trend of Lebron never carrying weak help over top teams (never beat a top 5 SRS team with weak scoring & efficiency from a sidekick)... After the 09' debacle, he quit in the 2010 ECSF by averaging 21 on 34% for the last 3 games to lose a 2-1 lead as a -500 favorite.. Then the 11' goat choke against the Mavs, and 4 straight chokes to get swept by the Nuggets.. And plenty more... 0-7 on Finals game-winners

Even before that, in 2008 he choked away the series against the Celtics.

It's easier to get triple-doubles now with how heliocentric offenses have become. Jordan & Kobe did not just hog the ball on every possession, even if they shot 20+ times a game + teams play smaller now & the added volume of 3s gives smaller players more opportunities to get 10+ rebounds in a game.

Lebron's durability is no question the best ever, and that is to be expected of future ATGs with the advancements in sports science & nutrition.

It's interesting that this started happening right after Russell got benched. Which I think is the right move. They should've moved Russell when he had his highest value.

[QUOTE=ImKobe;14957127]Jordan & Kobe did not just hog the ball on every possession, even if they shot 20+ times a game.[/QUOTE]

These are guys who literally carried "ball hog" as one of their few criticisms. You've gotta do better than this. Mj has 7 seasons at or above Lebrons career high for FGA per game. While rocking a higher usage than Lebrons highest in 4 seasons. Kobe has 2 only 2 seasons above Leborons highest fga per game surprisingly, while also having 4 seasons with a higher usage than Lebrons career high ....

But ball hog doe!

Go to NBA.com and watch his assists. In the last game, there were three awarded to him where the receiver took two dribbles on their own drive after the pass. Most of the rest were around the horn passes at the three point line. In Oscar’s day, he would have had 3 assists. In Magic’s, maybe 8.

As for the rebound, the Lakers seem to have a rule that you give an uncontested rebound to LeBron. No one else is allowed to touch the ball in those situations. On top of that, the Laker scoring team will give him a rebound for any tap he makes at the ball. But if another Laker taps the ball, and then LeBron gets it off the tap, it’s scored as LeBron’s rebound.
