Lebron says he could averge 35-40 ppg if he really wanted too

[QUOTE=SamuraiSWISH]Umm, I do are you watching them?

LeBron is transition bucket KING now. Same with semi transition baskets with HIGH pick and rolls where he gets a head of steam and barrels into the lane. He is always using picks to score. It's rare that he doesn't. It's unusual to see him score on a true ISO play.

This dude isn't jab stepping, triple threating, abusing players in the post with footwork / fades and step back jumpers. What are you watching, man?[/quote]
He doesn't get the majority of his points from fast break opportunities though. He scored over 40% of points from 10 feet and beyond. This does not include the points that he scored in the post from floaters, turn around jumpers, etc. If I'm not mistaken, he scored over 50% points off of jumpers alone.

[QUOTE=SamuraiSWISH]He averaged 31 in 2006 because of the soft ass rule changes. Everyone saw a major spike in PPG output. Iverson suddenly had a HUGE resurgence and actually put up better numbers than when he was at his peak in his MVP season 5 years previous. It's not rocket science.[/quote]
How about 30 on 50% in '10? While taking 3 less shots than he did in '06.

[QUOTE=SamuraiSWISH]The very next season he dropped 4 ppg.[/quote]
Along with a drop in FGA.

[QUOTE=SamuraiSWISH]I think he can score 35 ppg, I said that. His efficiency would drop no doubt. Are you fully reading what I type? I said 40 ppg is absolutely out of the question. It's not in his game, DNA, makeup, mentality or skills.[/quote]
This is a hypothetical though. If he actually wanted to score over 35 PPG, can he? If he didn't care about involving his teammates and winning, etc.

[QUOTE=SamuraiSWISH]I like you, but yea I think you're a LeBron stan.[/QUOTE]
Far from it. Unlike those guys, I don't have Lebron in top 10 nor do I consider him to be better than Kobe. There's not much else going on ISH except Lebron vs Jordan/Kobe/Bird/Magic/Durant/etc. so I'm posting in a lot of his topics. I do however believe that he's a better scorer than Kobe, a great (not one of the best) defender, and not a "coward" for joining his "Pippen".

I'm a Wade stan, btw.

It is true that you Westbrick fans have a combined IQ that is less than his FG%.

Of course he could. Lebron averaged 31.4 ppg @48% in his 3rd year in the league. Now he's averaging 27 ppg on 56% and is so much better player. If he went to chuck mode and made about 45% of his field goals he could easily average around 37 or 38 ppg.

Also obviously no assists and wasting energy on defence.

that would be a ridiculous sight to behold.

LeBron, being LeBron could never average 40 points a game and resemble anywhere close to the player he's always been.

He simply does not have the diversity in his offensive arsenal to do that and doesn't play that way. He plays with a conscience, which is sometimes a benefit and sometimes a detriment.

Stupid response to a more stupid question.

30-33ppg no question.

[QUOTE=pauk]He averages up to 8.6 APG (while still putting in up to 30 PPG), thats up to 41.8% AST%, [/QUOTE]

He only averaged that high in ASST% once otherwise he's about 33%. That being said if he becomes a scorer first and takes the passing out of his game he becomes the focus of the defense. 35 ppg would be doable 40 ppg would be a stretch.

It wouldn't be very pretty ball and would be counter to the very thing that makes Lebron so dangerous.

[QUOTE=The Immortal]In the weak 80s-90s? sure. Today.. I don't think so.


Part of what makes LeBron such a dangerous scorer, aside from his insane level IQ, athleticism and (recently) his shooting is his passing. I feel if he goes all-out scoring mode he'll be far more predictable and teams would be able to zone in on him a lot more. Teams force great scorers to pass and great passers to score.. LeBron is in that healthy medium which makes him far more dangerous and efficient.[/QUOTE]
Finally someone reversing the 80s-90s retards:lol :applause:

It would take the ultimate feat in ballhoggery for Lebron to average 40ppg.. He already dominates the ball like no one to ever play the game before.. the only way he could get up the 5+ extra shots necessary to hit that mark is if he took away from his assists.. theres no option for him to average 40/8. Hes already capped out at how much he can handle the ball right now.


if Lebron is going to cut his passing in half on top of pounding the air out of the ball all game... his teammates will be completely frozen out.

[QUOTE=aj1987]Watch the games before you post.:facepalm


He's averaging 27 on 56/40.[B] I'm pretty sure that he can score 35 on 50/35[/B]. He actually scored 31.4 on 48% at 21.


I'm a Lebron stan? :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I could see that happening as long as he doesn't pass as much.

Put up or shut up.

[QUOTE=kuniva_dAMiGhTy]Possibly. Doubt he'd be very efficient though.[/QUOTE]

Good Lord, you don't know s.hit about basketball. Just sit in the corner and stfu, son.

LeBron is a better scorer than Kobe.

Get over it.

He also said he'd bring a championship to Cleveland... And win 8 titles with the Heat.

Was it a specific question asked to him or is this guy really [I]that[/I] insecure with himself as a player.
