Re: Distance traveled per 48 minutes - Lebron's is a league-bottom 3.0 miles
I like how OP just ignores the fact that this is really a positive thing.His navigational efficiency is probably the highest in league history.Per step lebron averages more(pps,rps,bps,sps, and aps) points rebounds blocks steals and assist per step than anyone in nba history.
You disappoint me OP :facepalm

[QUOTE=3ball](Lebron is on 13th page of 14): [url]http://stats.nba.com/tracking/#!/player/speed/?sort=DIST_48&dir=1&Season=2014-15&SeasonType=Regular%20Season[/url]
Harden is also at a league-bottom 3.0 miles.. Chris Paul's is at 3.1 miles.. Westbrook's is 3.3.. All the heavy ball-dominators are < 3.5 miles.. And they're stats are identical in the playoffs.
Otoh, all the high-assisted, off-ball players are > 3.5 miles.. Korver, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson, Steph Curry - all the off-ball players have over 3.5 miles traveled per 48 minutes, which means [I]off-ball players travel almost 20% further than Lebron every 48 minutes[/I].
So don't be fooled into thinking ball-dominators are expending more energy with their playground style because they're not - they're actually traveling a shorter distance than everyone else, which is remarkable since ball-dominators have the highest time of possession.. The low distance traveled coupled with high time of possessions means that Chris Paul, Lebron, and other ball-dominators spend a lot of time just standing around with the ball.

He moves around the court less than a non dominate ball player so essentially he is holding onto the ball way more than he should. Same with CP3. It's wasted time of possession at the expense of the team. He is causing his team to work harder and take more steps per game than they should in order to get the win.

Also he just stands around on defense, or camps near the rim to statpad his rebounds, that probably accounts for his low distance

That would be true if Kawhi, Green, and TP are among the league leaders in distance travelled per game. Who's holding onto the ball on the Spurs and making them run?
Also, Cleveland was the 3rd best offense last seasons and the Clips were #1. They must be doing something right...:confusedshrug:
Re: Distance traveled per 48 minutes - Lebron's is a league-bottom 3.0 miles
I'd argue that LeBron is one of the best off-ball players in the league, not as good as Reggie Miller, but certainly quite a bit better than Jordan.

Re: Distance traveled per 48 minutes - Lebron's is a league-bottom 3.0 miles
[QUOTE=3ball]0.5 miles is a ton - it's 20% more than Lebron every game..
And it isn't just Curry - it's ALL off-ball players - Korver, Danny Green, Kawhi, etc.. Off-ball players travel about 20% further in games than ball-dominators like Lebron, Harden, CP3, etc.
So the notion that Lebron expended so much energy "running the show" for Cleveland is proven wrong by the stats... The stats also prove that even though ball-dominators travel the least distances in games, they still have the highest time of possession, which proves they stand around a lot.[/QUOTE]
Lol at this fake ass scientist. Thinking he's smart.

You know it's a sad time in NBA history of it takes Jeff having to pay someone to educate current fans about how much better MJ is. If greatness gets them ruffled, you know it's all down hill from there for them.

Nothing to do with greatness, everything to do with being way over the top with the hyperbole.
You can't present arguments as educated when you half ass the education part on your end. It's hilarious because dude presents his shit as grand discoveries that get ripped apart by the end of the 1st page usually. If he actually took more time to solidify these "findings" they'd endure longer. But he's just a repeat troll, Banned from every other forum I've seen him on. About. The. Same. Shit.
