LeBron James: "If I wanted to, I could lead the league in scoring"

[Long Live The Kane]

funny thing is his career average is 20 FGA per game

I tripped off of that too...if I'm not mistaken he has the highest career fga/gm average of any player currently in the league...lol at having to "imagine" what'd it be like...but yeah he could easily lead the league in points if he didn't play with two others players that could easily put up upwards of 24-27 points a game themselves if on another team...

Actually, this year his jumper has been filthy, I agree with you on the freethrows though.

he is shooting 38% from 9 to 23 feet?

the most interesting part of this article is the mental math Bron did in front of reporters when he said "I'm shooting 54 percent from the field right now, so if I shoot 54 percent at 25 shots a game? Pff, that's like ... doing my math ... that's 27 points right there. That's without shooting free throws and shooting 42 percent from the 3-point line."

you would be surprised how naturally intelligent a lot of these athletes are.

48% eFG on jumpers overall.

which is why i said career meaning overall

If you let Heats fan tell it, his career just started in Miami.

48% eFG on jumpers overall.

One of my fav gifs. I remember that moment and I said to myself that Lebron is going to win that ring because years prior he wouldn't have reacted like KG, he would've walked away on some steez. KG lost.

Yeah he could lead the league in scoring if he really wanted to. But at the same time i think if KD played with a CP3 or Rondo type pg he could average 32-35 a game easily though. But he can't do that when his point guard averages a shot more a game than him. Even if Russy is averaging 9 assists a game, KD should shoot no less than 22 shots every game.

You do realize kd has never averaged 20 shots before or after russy its not his game and has never been. He's not a volume scorer he's an efficient scorer. Besides that he goes to the line a alot more then Russell.

Having 4 15ppg scorers>>> having durant inefficiently dominate the game.

He knows that would hurt the team so he does otherwise.

Lebrons mind is to be respected.

My fav part is when he glances at kg for a second.

Like ya he mad.

yeah, okay lebron.

You act like he hasn't been top 3-4 scorer over the years..with the difference being a point or two avg.and not shooting ft's in the 80% area and not averaging 20+ fga a game...

"I'm shooting 54 percent from the field right now, so if I shoot 54 percent at 25 shots a game? Pff, that's like ... doing my math ... that's 27 points right there. That's without shooting free throws and shooting 42 percent from the 3-point line."

If he maintained those percentages, the scoring title would likely be his.

"I could do it if I wanted to," James reiterated

Nothing wrong with Lebron flexing that math fitness.

Kobe shooting 46 times right now against the warriors to show that he's still better than Bron
