Still waiting for this proof of lebron playing Center last year in the playoffs.



Come on ISB. Stop spewing numbers out to make your hero look better unless they're actually true.

Just look at Game 3 of the Finals. He brought the ball up and ran the offense like a point guard. He nailed a catch-and-shoot 3-pointer from the corner like a shooting guard. He took his man off the dribble from the perimeter to the basket like a small forward. He lived in the paint, set screens and rolled to the rim for buckets like a power forward. And he voluntarily defended Oklahoma City's Kendrick Perkins on the block like a center.

Heading into Game 4, James is averaging 30.7 points and 9.7 rebounds in the playoffs. Here’s the list of players who have averaged at least 30.7 points and 9.7 boards in a postseason during the modern era:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Shaquille O’Neal. Hakeem Olajuwon.

That’s it. That’s the list. Three of the all-time great centers.

As hard as it is to believe, those are James’ peers now, statistically. James entered the league as a point guard, and nine years later he’s putting up numbers of Hall of Fame centers. Throw in the fact that James also has averaged five assists per game and the list of players who have averaged 30-10-5 during the playoffs in modern times shrinks to one. Just James.

His numbers are remarkable as are, but consider that since the Indiana series, James has averaged 31.6 points and 10.8 rebounds. That’s no coincidence. Chris Bosh, Miami's power forward, went down with an abdominal injury in the opening game against Indiana.

Who asked for a description from four years ago.

After the ASB, Giannis was the point guard on offense and the rim protector on defense. Pretty much point center.

Averaged 19/9/7 and Bucks had like a 110 efficiency with him as the main ballhandler. And he was 10th in the league at protecting within 6 feet of the rim (min 4 attempts and 60 games), ahead of guys like Noel, Adams, Davis, KAT, Drummond, Dwight, etc.
