That teenage emotion :mjlol:

Can't refute actual data, posts smileys and accuse someone of being emotional.

Again, I think you don't understand that since he knows he's slipping on defense, he's focusing solely on his offensive game. And averaging that many assists because he's playing a "Lebron ball" offense where he controls everything on the offensive end. He can mask his inconsistent aging game by literally dominating the ball

Once again, I said he doesn't even attempt to play defense anymore. I see your comprehension skills are terrible.

Second, this is false.

Offensively, he's playing as he's always has. His usage percentage is 31.4%, right around his career mark of 31.5%. He's not using more possessions to score his points.

He never developed an off the ball game, he's dominating the ball as he's always done. He's as consistent offensively as before.

That's exactly what Wizard Jordan was. Horrible defensively, but still able to put up pretty good offensive numbers.

False.

His last two seasons, Jordan scored below the league's efficiency with a .480 TS%, while shooting 43% from the field. Well below his career mark of 51%. He was no longer an efficient offensive player. He became a high volume scorer.

Hell, he was only an All-Star in 2003 because Vince Carter gave up his spot out of respect.

This whole season, Lebron had... what, only 10 games where he was both offensively and defensively dominant. But unfortunately, you sound like one of those mentally challenged Lebron stans who only look at the stat sheet :yeshrug:

Considering you can't refute anything and this is your only retort.

Checkmate.

Its crazy thats in his 15th season hes still leading a team at a high level. The average player is coming off the bench, mentoring the youth, getting ready to ride off into the sunset. I think I figured it out. Yall nikkas dont get it? Do I really have to spell it out for yall.
Hes clearly a clone :gucci:

You used a smiley on your first response to me, you're emotion made you forget already :russ:


You keep replying with book reports regurgitating the same thing, and not attempting to reply to any of what I said. Since he's not a great defender anymore, then that means he's slipping as a great player in this league. You can't just throw that fact away cause it hurts your argument. Less defense = Not as good as he once was. Simple

Unless you're a complete novice to basketball, being ball dominant is an easier way to rack up 25+ than other ways of scoring, which is basically what Cav's offense now. And Lebron used to be able to score in many other ways besides just holding the ball. I'm sure you knew that, but again that would hurt your argument. No matter how many goofy stats you wanna throw out there. He's Wizard Jordan status now, deal with it :yeshrug:

Wrong use of you're.

No one is regurgitating anything. Factual data is being used to destroy your nonsensical opinion based posts. You aren't stating facts, you're trying to pass off opinions as facts. He's still a top 5 player in the league.

Unless you're a complete novice to basketball, being ball dominant is an easier way to rack up 25+ than other ways of scoring, which is basically what Cav's offense now.

Except for the fact that being ball dominate can destroy your efficiency, and he's still highly efficient disproving your nonsense. He's being assisted on less basket than anytime in his career and his efficiency is still going up.

Jordan on the Wizards was no longer an efficient player, even while getting assisted on over 45% of his scored baskets.

Jordan on the Wizards, 21.2 PPG / 5.0 RPG / 5.9 APG / .431 FG% / .241 3P% / .805 FT% / 19.9 PER / .480 TS%

LeBron's last two years 26.9 PPG / 8.6 RPG / 8.9 PPG / .547 FG% / .365 3P% / . 697 FT% / 27.8 PER / .621 TS%

They're not even comparable.

Wizards Jordan was a shell of his former self. Current Bron is being debated on national sports shows whether it's the best version of him ever.

Wizards Jordan wasn't even a top 20 player in the league anymore. Current Bron is still the best player in the league.

If this is Bron's "Wizards Jordan" era, he's even better than any of us thought :skip:

Imagine not being able to refute anything and having to use ad hominems

Imagine regurgitating the same book report long paragraphs with different words

And WRONG, you can be ball dominant and still be efficient. Especially when you're the de facto Point guard, Small Forward, and Center for your whole team. He literally controls every aspect of that Cavs team. You can pad those stats easily when you do that

If he was playing in a structured offensive and defensive system like the Celtics, Jazz, or Spurs, or a pass first motion offensive team like the Rockets or Warriors, he wouldn't be nearly as effective. Unless he brings that Bron ball with him, which he won't be able to
