The closer you analyze LeBron, the worse his stats get. Also, the closer you watch LeBron play basketball, you notice his low effort and lack of leadership. With other greats, you notice the exact opposite.
This is why you simply CANNOT rely on statistics alone to evaluate NBA players. So many young fans just look at the numbers and draw conclusions on that basis.
Lebron fans love to use stats to win arguments, but cant explain how those stats didnt help him win more then he lost. And swear he's not stat padding.
Angry old hoops fan has been exposing this for years. I’d like to see someone either go through every game he played last year and give us his true stats. Just imagine what his career rebounds and assist would actually be? Maybe someone can use AI to do it? AI already taking all the other jobs. Why not this one?
I remember back in 2015 or 2016 i found a youtube vid that had just came out where the guy was breaking down how Lebron's assists are padded by the NBA. He'd show you the NBA or ESPN stat info where a player would score and it would show "assisted by (Lebron)". He'd pull up the actual footage of that exact play and show how the league was allowing his assists numbers to be inflated. We're talking about Hockey assists being counted to him and plays where he would give the rock up to somebody with 16 seconds left on the clock and they would score with 3 seconds left but they'd still credit him. The whole vid was about 30 mins long but there were about 25 or 30 examples alone and he said that he had enough to do another 5 or 6 vids or more.
I remember when I saw the vid there were about 2000 views. After going back a second time there were about 10k. Went back the 3rd time and it was gone. Somebody asked him why he took it down in the latest vid he posted on his channel and he just replied "you already know what happened" implying he got pressure from the league. He made another video about Lebron soon after and not to long after that his whole channel was gone.
This guys whole career is a circus and the league is the ring master.
