Lebron's time of possession in 2015 Finals was 50% higher than RS leader

[QUOTE=warriorfan][B]This is the point that I was trying to make. LeBron's playground style, non ball sharing, and non equal opportunity offense decreases the statistical output of his teammates.[/B] When other players play in LeBron's ball dominated style of basketball, it doesn't allow them to get into the flow of the game. Imagine playing a game of basketball and you get frozen out for stretches of 5 to 10 minutes with out even touching the basketball because one player is dominating the ball the entire time. When you finally get the ball in your hands you are not going to be in rhythm and not be able to play up to your best ability. It's quite obvious that Jr Smith Jones and Shumpert are all respectable shooters and far superior than a player with 0 FG%. Unfortunately that is the biproduct of LeBron ball, it completely freezes out the rest of the team.[/QUOTE]
So why were they only able to score when LeBron was ON the court?

LeBron played for over 90% of the total minutes of the Finals. You are extracting too small of a sample size for any sort of factual conclusion to be drawn.

What is a factual conclusion that can be drawn is that LeBron has decreased the overall statistical output of all of his team mates through his ball dominating, playground style of basketball. There are hundreds of examples of this with sample sizes 10 times as large as 10% of one 6 game series.

0-21 is not a small sample size.

You are obviously trolling. I think we are done here.

[QUOTE=3ball]It's easier to score when you have more time to decide what to do and can wait for the right spot.

In Lebron's case, he had 50% more time of possession than anyone had all year - his 12.0 minutes per game was 50% higher than the regular season league-leader, John Wall's 8.2 minutes..

Such a ridiculous time of possession is ****ing amazing, and it invalidates his stats (the stat-padding clearouts on every possession and 39% shooting also invalidated his stats)..

Keep it real bro - 50% higher time of possession is insane and very likely the record, BY A MILE

Completely and utterly untrue. I see fpliii already stomped you out like you were begging for. But I'll reiterate anyhow. Fg% lowers as clock time gets scarce, so if he's holding the ball all these insane amounts of time then it's harder to score not easier. (Seven seconds or less offense anyone?) Just in case you couldn't parse what the link said. The fact that Lebron thinks through possessions actually complicates his scoring, so maybe you should appreciate the numbers even more because he basically played with a handicap so to speak.

Lastly, you continue to parrot this weak topic around but never get to the real root. Not even once. If MJ reaches the finals without grant/rodman, then loses pippen after game 1.......He'd have the ball the same amount if not more, unless you think he's going to be cool with more attempts going to kukoc, king, bucheler, Williams, etc. Also you actually believe he'd work at normal efficiency without those guys there against finals teams as well.....say 96 for example?

Holy shit. warriorfan AKA slim jim getting his ass DESTROYED.

I don't respect your opinion.. I only engage you to inform you of things you don't know about the game, that I want you to know.
