Lebron currently averaging 26-6-6... His worst stats since rookie season

[CavaliersFTW]

Safe to say after tonight's performance where Lebron tried to make a statement that he isn't coasting this season and that he has officially lost that proverbial step? I mean, he gave it his all and only put up 25-8-7 in a losing effort.



BTW I do acknowledge that 25-8-7 is a nice all around statline to be certain, but even Lebron stans must admit this is incredibly pedestrian for an all time great who hyped up the game and played his absolute heart out in an effort to silence backlash about his lackluster season. Nobody remembers the games where MJ or Oscar Robertson put up 25-8-7... those aren't great stats for players of that caliber they are just average, heck sub-par for players at that level.

So is lebron still "just coasting"?

So is lebron still "just coasting"?

Actually yes.

He's clearly not putting in the same effort game to game that he has in the past. At least not defensively...it's been his worst defensive season in a long time. He still ramps up at times, but it's not nearly as consistent as it has been since like the 08 season.

Must be nice though...27/7/7 65% TS and still probably the best player in the league. At worst 2nd best...

inb4 '15 LeBron who averages 18 ppg on 70% shooting

[pmj]

Lowest FGA of career, 2nd lowest minutes, highest FG%, TS%, EFG%, 3rd highest O Rating, 29.1 PER.... Yeah he's pretty much coasting on a team that doesn't need him to do everything.

[Connor B]

When your putting up 26,6,6 on 59% shooting playing 36mpg is considered 'losing a step' you know your the man

/thread honestly. I'm not a Lebron stan but OP's point is retarded when you consider MPG and the fact that it is lterally a few tenths of points less than his career averages.

Why did Lebron at age 28 already had as much rings as Wilt had his whole career?

[Smoke117]

You know you are an outstanding player when 26/6/6 is bad... stupid ****s

I have said, if your only argument against Lebron is well...well...well...he's not Jordan: You have already lost the war.

Stacked team?

[turnaroundJ]

I'm not too big on LeEfficient. A lot of times this year his team needed him to take that extra scoring load. They'd have wrapped up another 1st seed easily.

High FG looks nice on paper though, but was he dominant?

[pmj]

Stacked team?

I mean most true contenders are more than 1 guy carrying a bunch of role players like the Cavs were. Contenders are usually stacked talent wise where many people can contribute, looks at the Spurs. So pretty much yeah, minus their obvious deficiencies size wise.
