That coasting rhetoric is based on phony ass defensive metrics that have never been used to make a point until this year.

LeBron ranks ninth in effective field goal percentage (.552), ninth in true shooting (.603), seventh in offensive rating (117.8) and 10th in defensive rating (98.1).

Moneyball godfather Bill James first developed the “Win Shares” statistic for baseball, and basketball analysts have adapted the formula for their sport. Win Shares, according to the excellent stats site basketball-reference.com, is the “estimate of the number of wins contributed by a player.” The formula is complex. A primer on how it’s calculated is here. In short, the stat considers efficiency to be the key to winning games, and rewards players whose efficiency rankings outperform the league average by wide margins. Win Shares also has a defensive component.

James led the NBA in Win Shares, at 19.3.
