LeBron's start most efficient ever?

[YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy]

Teammates having a competition about who can do something that benefits the team better...oh the horror .

Once again how does Lebron scoring at a high clip hurt his team? Should the nikka not be trying to be efficient? Should he be aiming to shoot poorly?

No horror. Just that it goes back to my point that he's overly concerned about his fg%.

No amount of smilies can dispute what I've been saying about the difference between his efficiency and Jordan's. His game is tailored to protect his fg%. Jordan's wasn't.

If it's not hurting his team, who cares? The Heat are an awful rebounding team, if they don't take efficient shots the odds of them getting the offensive board are extremely low.

Also, the Jordan stuff is hilarious when Jordan did in fact play for stats at times, in 88-89 he was pissed off at all the attention Magic was getitng for being an "all around" player and that is when he went on his triple double run where he had 10 in 11 games. In several of those games he got exactly 10 rebounds or assists, basically he was going out of his way to get them and they were 5-6 in that stretch.

I'm not arguing that.

And if he isn't hurting his team what the problem is? You have not answered that question yet? What is wrong with him actively trying to shoot the best percentage possible?

Nowhere in this thread have I said it was a problem.

As I've said to you in each and every post though, I'm pointing out the difference between his and jordan's efficiency since the claim was made that jordan was concerned about his fg% like lebron.

Jordan was moreso concerned about his PPG than his %. He was still concerned about a stat. Does that make his scoring any less great because he was actually trying to do it?

The threads topic is whether or not Bron's start is the most efficient ever. I can see how his level of concern with efficiency relates to that. Not sure what Mike or Kobe's level of concern with efficiency have to do with that topic though.

Me neither. First post I saw on this page though was, "Jordan cared about efficiency and was plenty efficient.", so that's what I was responding to.

Bron is off to a hell of a start

Best player since Jordan...nothing to see here.

Right because nikkas aren't conscious of PPG or RPG or any other stats and looking to "manipulate" those either right? Stats only count if nikkas aren't actively trying to compile them?

How does being conscious of it mean anything? WTF kinda basketball player isn't concerned with doing the best thing for his team?

Lebron is trying to be as efficient as possible while still being one of the most dominant scorers we've ever seen.

He's putting up numbers comparable to scoring GREATS, dudes who were KNOWN for their ABILITY TO SCORE, on higher efficiency while being a great passer and rebounder.

Kobe is known as one of the greatest scorers of all time and a dude who has a gunner mentality and Lebron is literally scoring 9 less points on 11 less attempts while trying to get his teammates involved than Kobe's most chucker-happy season ever.

Stats in general are not an objective measure because they can be manipulated. When using stats to compare players there are some factors that have to be taken into account when making these comparisons. Do both players see the game and think the game in the same way? What are the players’ role in a given game and/or season? What are the players’ style of play? I’m just saying these are some things that need to be considered when drawing comparisons.

You quoted the wrong guy breh. I understand that ALL stats can be manipulated and are subject to a variety of factors. I'm not the one acting like certain stats are silly and for nerds and others are the end all be all proof of greatness. Beyond that this isn't a comparison thread. The fact that nikkas turned it into one is pretty sad.

it's not a secret that jordan used to check in with the stat keepers all the damn time during games to see where he was at.
