What is TPA?
A contrived stat that basically tries to figure out total points added on offense and total points saved on defense. Stats like these are beneficial to Lebron since he doesn't really play in any sort of offensive system except Bron Ball, so when he hits the bench the team's offense tanks since he doesn't have a system to fall back on. There's a reason you see Jordan's TPA start to decline as he became more ingrained in the traingle offense.

Miami years weren’t Bron ball at all..there was def a “system” there.

How many threes did Bosh shoot a game in Miami?

Showed up in Miami avg .03 three's a game......Bron last year he was up to 2.8 per game. Let's not get delusional about Bosh's role in order for Bron to "succeed" in Miami. Rebounds decreased every year in Miami with Bron because he was hanging out too much outside the paint.

Bron consistent and most durable

Jordan with the highest peak..interesting shyt

BRON WASNT THE MOST CONSISTENT...
JUST DURABLE AND NEVER RETIRED.
THEY GOT JORDANS BROKEN FOOT SEASON
AND THE "45" SEASON IN THERE.
THEN THE WIZARD SEASONS.

WTF IS TPA SUPPOSED TO BE ANYWAY?

Lebron the only one of the three that had to jump around to surround himself with superstars in their prime and then ruin those superstars simultaneously making everyone think theyre worse than are.

Funny how Love and Bosh went from being called top 10 players before Lebron to questioning their ability around Lebron.

Funny how Pau wasnt seen as a difference maker before Kobe to everyone talking about his importance on the Lakers. Kobe himself always praised and defended Pau's contributions.

It's a shame that stats wont ever tell you shyt about why one was a 5 time champion while the other is constantly outdone by team oriented teams. Lebron stans will tell you that he would thrive in those teams, but the reason he never would is because his numbers have always been more important to him than winning, which is why he would never accept a reduced role for better team performance. Which is why he never learned to play off the ball.

TPA breakdown for those, like me, who had no fukking clue what that shyt in the OP is supposed to mean

The problem with advanced stats is when there's no context, no rhyme/reason, or explanation... people just throw them out there as if everyone knows what that shyt means

It’s a formula that combines defensive and offensive stats per possession ..nerd shyt but it shows what we clearly saw as far as these 3 players

Kobe third overall. MJ and Bron close with MJ having a higher peak.:yeshrug:


:mjlol:BRON IS ONE OF THE WORST DEFENDERS IN THE NBA
AND HES #1 IN THIS TPA shyt THIS SEASON.

THIS GEEK CAC shyt ISNT VALID OFF THAT FACT ALONE.
