re: LeBron to his haters: You'll still have your same personal problems tomorrow

quote:

The reason LeBron is the third leading scorer as far as points per game is because the first 6 years of his career he was the best player on a bad team and the ball went through him every possession. It's easy to rack up points and assists when you touch the ball 70% of the time and players get fouls called on them because you yell and flail your arms around.

Every player in the league acts a little bit trying to draw fouls. You make it sound like LeBron is the only one in the league who does. Cleveland was a "bad" team? They won 50 games in 4 of LeBrons last 6 seasons there. Based on your theory, every primary ball handler for every team with a worse record should have outscored him....yet LeBron won a scoring title and 2 MVP awards in that time - go figure. Dwight Howard is the best player on his team and they run their offense through him. He goes to the line 3.5 times per game more than LeBron. Why is he only averaging 18.2 per game for his career taking higher percentage shots during the same years LeBron has played and for a team with a similar record?

He certainly wasn't scoring so much because of his accuracy shooting the ball, which is kind of important when you're content bombing 3s half the time.

How does that explain having one of the highest EFFICIENCY ratings of all time?

ETA: and as someone else pointed out, the Cavs being as competitive as they were with a bunch of scrubs is a testament to what he did there

They played in the east which was a joke until the Celtics formed a big 3, and even then there was 1 good team. They played 4 games a year against the Wizards and Bobcats and Pacers and Knicks and a bunch of other shitty teams. Check out their record against the Western conference.

Ok, so whats your point? Is it his fault the East was shitty? And when he went to the finals, the Spurs were a team of destiny. No one could stop them.

No it wasn't his fault the east was shitty, but it does explain them having more wins. Is that not obvious?

Sure, it helped but it wasn't the deciding reason or only reason. There are only a handful of players that could've done what he did.

What part of a shitty Eastern conference correlating to more wins doesn't make sense? I think you're the only person it doesn't make sense to.

LeBron plays better when he is "the man"

He would have been better off on a team was he was the unquestioned leader but he just had more talent around him than he had in Cle

We will see if Spol or a new coach can talk him into playing more aggressive when they need him to in the future

He's an effective 3 point shooter when he's not in 3 point mode. He will never be a good 3 point shooter

Great logic. The same logic that says Dilfer was better than Marino because of a ring.
