Lebron is quietly averaging 33 PPG / 8 AST / 9.8 REB and shooting 40% from 3 in the playoffs

[Draje]

Because outside of Kyrie, nobody on that team can operate without the gravity LeBron and the looks LeBron gets them. It's not it's necessarily a bad thing, it's lead to the best LeBron led offense he's had his entire career, it's just this team requires him to make it work and without him, it falls apart conpletely.

So...you mean a team built around the gravity of the star players? Like OKC? Houston? Portland? Boston? Outside 1 or 2 players, no
One on those teams can create their own looks.

Lebron has destroyed the Raptors his entire career. Basketball is mental. LeBron doesnt fear anyone on the raptors. He has no pressure. He's basically running a scrimmage out there. Of course hes shooting well.

Lets see what happens when he faces the wizards/celtics and real pressure begins. Lebrons numbers will dip.

Real pressure? Like the finals against the greatest team of all time?

 

[DillaTUDE]

He's averaging these numbers in one of the weakest Eastern Conferences in years...

 

[Bay Area]

Witnessing An all time great do his thing, and we ain't got long left

Side note, I thought last years GS team was supposed to be an impossible feat. He don't get enough credit for that.

I never spoke on it but I always chuckled to myself about Cavs/Bron stans focusing on the "Warriors blew a 3-1 lead" narrative.

Yeah they blew it but focusing on that headline makes other people think about how the Warriors gave it away rather than the effort it took to come back.

I think part of the reason hes playing so well is that he has no pressure and solidified himself last year

I mean hes out here smiling to the crowd, spinning the ball and hitting jab step 3s, just straight clowning nikkas out there

plus he wants that all time scoring record this year so you can fully expect him to keep that ppg average up

Playing in a weak east yet his stats are better vs western conference teams :MjgrinAnime:

I agree, that Cleveland ship meant everything

And at that smiley.

 

[KOBE]

Yeah I'm sure that's exactly what he did.

which is it? he rests because he's lazy and doesn't care about games or he's a spotlight hungry player who designs teams that need him to play all the time

Lol youre delusional if you dont think Cavs are constructed around Lebron.

 

[onelastdeath]

Lol youre delusional if you dont think Cavs are constructed around Lebron.

All teams excluding the Spurs are constructed around their star player, but it's only seen as a negative when it's Lebron.

**Random Person**
"It's evident because when Lebron goes down they lose."

Obviously, it's like that with all star players. All teams look worse when their #1 option goes down.

 

[JameisNewton]

how?

he spouts that nonsense in every thread, don't worry. Dude is insecure and poor.

 

[Draje]

Lol youre delusional if you dont think Cavs are constructed around Lebron.

Find me a championship team that wasn't constructed around their star player and then explain to me why having 3 and D guys, rebounders, and defenders is somehow specific to being built around Lebron.

Never said most arent, but you were seemingly denying it.

Reread the original comment I replied to.
I didn't deny that the team is designed around him,
I denied that It's that he purposely designed the team around him to look like trash when he's not around to selfishly highlight his importance to the team. Which is

Never said it was a new concept, it's just that LeBron takes on so much responsibility by not only being the primary scorer but also the initiator of the offense it's why the team looks lost without him. It works because he's just that great.

 

[madness]

Yet I still see nikkas compare him to KOBE

He left that chucker in the bushes a long time ago

Pains me to admit this as a lifelong Kobe fan, but it's 100% true

They need to figure out how to cut his mins before fatigue creeps up. Those numbers are incredible. Goat shyt....but those mins. Shows how much that team needs him. Wild.

The minutes are high, but in the last 2 against the Raptors he went back out there just to have fun and work on his jumper it seemed.
