not really a fan so i haven't really watched him much but i must say his court vision is really good. Does anyone know what's the most assists he's ever got in a game before?

Amazing performance.. arguably the most talented NBA player of all time.. perhaps only Wilt/Shaq/Jordan and maybe Kobe has been more talented.

That's not his game, and it would also take away from his passing/distributing abilities.

11 points, 12 assists and 14 rebounds.

Commentators keep saying that this is the 1st in Olympic history period not just USA Olympic b-ball history. BTW...It was 11 assists instead of 12.

wow... really? is it the first in history?

Luckily basketball is about defending scoring rebounding creating shots and cow tipping if it was based on scoring lebron would not have won some mvps

[LBJ 23]

Some time ago I remember people saying that Lebron might be better passer than CP3 and Deron and people were calling them crazy. But slowly, an example of games played together is getting bigger and bigger and this claim is not as far fetched as people firstly thought. I mean, Lebron is really not having ball in his hands a lot more than CP3 and yet his passes are more effective and he's establishing his teammates into rhythm way more than CP3 for example. Deron is not even in the conversation, trying too hard to score and neglecting passing in these Olympics.

[Cowboy Thunder]

Love OKC and Goatbrook, KD, Beard, Blocka, etc...


but man, LeBron is gooood. :eek:

[RRR3]

Are you aware LeBron is the 3rd highest scorer in NBA history?
And LeBron is playing great, don't get me wrong, it's just weird since he's the 2nd best scorer on the team besides KD that he's not trying to score as much

[BlueandGold]

He's won a scoring title, and led olympics in scoring in 2008 :confusedshrug:
I mean that's not his game this olympics. Along with Lebron you have literally the top3 wing scorers in the league in Melo, Durant and Bryant.

Anyways I said it was an amazing performance. I've never seen that type of game in any olympic game i've watched. How many minutes did he average? Normally whenever a play starts going crazy hot/dominating the coach pulls that player when the lead starts growing in order to preserve the competitive spirit. Wasn't Melo's 37 points in like 14 minutes or something?

I was hoping they put him in the game in the 4th when he came in we were only up 12 and not safe for my liking in a elimination game

its still very very very crazy so say bron is a better passer than cp3

and very crazy to say hes a better passer than deron

[b1imtf]

I think it was Wade that lead the team

[LongLiveTheKing]

Lebron doing everything he's the MVP of this team!

WOW, he should just drop 30 next 2 games and be the leading scorer of team USA.

Well he's looking like the goat passer in the olympics right now :bowdown:

What do u expect when u hold the ball as long as he does:confusedshrug:

Do you just blatantly lie to push your agenda? You realize ppl can google stuff right?

[Ruutu]

I must say...Lebron is best all around player in the world right now. His court vision is off the charts and he can score if he wants do...we witnessed some history right now

[LongLiveTheKing]

Lebron had 0 turnovers also!

3rd highest in points per game not career totals. Lebron is only behind MJ and Wilt in points per game.

He's been noticeably more effective at creating than both of them this Olympics for sure. Thanks to his height and strength, he can make passes that they can't, and opponents have been foolishly doubling him / dedicating too much help defense at him, allowing him to create even more opportunities than normal.

He meant PPG he's only 28 don't see why you thought he would be there :biggums:

This is actually even more impressive stat that others.

[BlueandGold]

He said "highest scorer in NBA history". Where in his post do you see "points per game or even PPG?" Sorry I can't read minds?

last week ****ed around and got a triple double, freakin ****** everyway like L.B.J :bowdown: ... I can't believe, today was a good day

[Is He Ill]

Amazing performance.. arguably the most talented NBA player of all time.. perhaps only Wilt/Shaq/Jordan and maybe Kobe has been more talented.

I'd say maybe Wilt or Jordan match him talent wise, but King James is definitely a complete player and an all time great already. When he is on his A game it's amazing to watch. Another fantastic game for LBJ.

[DuMa]

FYI: LeBron with a triple-double with no turnovers in just 30 minutes time? No NBA player has done that in over 25 yrs.

[arifgokcen]

he has been amazing to watch.As crazy as it sounds seeing his passing skills i am tempted to say he is the best PG on this team.CP has the ball a lot more than lebron dont forget that part

[Fiasco]

Maybe that has to do with the fact that he's the best point guard on this team.

He's so damn gifted..still with a handful of years left in his prime..crazy

[PJR]

That's my small forward. Let's go Heat.

[NiHao]

feel so glad to be a witness of this dude:bowdown:

[General]

He's basically the point guard on this team of course he's going to rack up assists passing it to Durant, Kobe, Melo.

It sorta looked like a mini jumpstop.

[nbaballllller]

great game from lebron

and lol at peopole trying to discredit him. he is clearly the best playmaker/passer in this team. he had the ball in his hands much less than paul.

its crazy to think that the dude who is 3rd all time in ppg may in fact be a better play maker than scorer

[KG215]

Seriously, the desperation and tactics Kobe stans are using to try and discredit what LeBron did is hilarious.

[Round Mound]

Whats all this hype? LeGold HAS BEEN AND IS...The Best Player in the Game for like the Last 4-5 Years...And Now

[Rubio2Gasol]

Only one Kobe Stan is (The OP) is completely bad. Honestly not sure where I stand on this, great accomplishment, all I can say lmao.Not sure what to make of these Olympic games, I think Rondo could do it no problem if he was on the team and had the ball in his hands.

its just shocking to me nobody accomplished this before in olympic history, i mean not even magic was able to do it with the even better people he had to pass to, this td is "just" a td we see often from lebron but its a historic one, the only one

[NuggetsFan]

:facepalm

You can disagree with it but it's not that crazy. If LeBron played like a Steve Nash and wasn't as aggressive with his own shot in the NBA he could average 10-12 dimes a game probably. It'd be stupid because dominant scoring is more important but LeBron has crazy court vision. Has the mentality for it as well, his teams have just needed him to score at an elite level.

[pauk]

:facepalm
why the hell not?
speaking of assists he could easily give you 10++ apg if he didnt have to "waste" offensive possessions scoring, he has proven it many times.. lebron was not drafted as a pg for nothing... he is basically a magic with more scoring ability...
speaking of court vision i think he might have the best court vision in the nba...
speaking of raw passing skills themselves i think only steve nash can maybe match lebrons repertoir...

cp3, rondo and so on have better ballhandling and pass the ball much more, but that doesnt mean they are better playmakers... when you put all those pgs on the floor the offense will at the end of the day be orchestrated buy the best playmaker... and that is lebron... and thats exactly what you are seeing in the olympics.... cp3 does a great job simply doing a pgs job, but he is not capable of dominating the game like lebron is with his playmaking...

You could say the same for many people to be honest, Prime Mac, Prime Wade, three peat Kobe, they could all do it but they rightfully have a scorers mentality because that's how they could best influence the game.

No suprise Bron gave up the PG act and immediately wins a title.

[General]

It's not like Lebron is getting all these assists by getting players quality shots. He's passing the ball to All-Stars and future Hall of Famers. He's not passing it to Jared Dudley or Channing Frye like Nash does. Delusional Lebron fans comparing him to Magic:roll:

You act like lebron doesn't have several 10+ assist games and magic has had 1 in the olympics with the best team on the planet

[blacknapalm]

cp3 has led the league twice in assists but isn't capable of dominating with his playmaking? dafuq? he's the league's best playmaker in the PNR, one of the best passers in the paint and one of the best lobbers. how many times has lebron had more than 15 assists? the one edge i'd give lebron is passing across the court and his downcourt bounce pass...mostly because he can put so much power and accuracy behind it.

anyway, fanboys arguing is some pedantic shit. this is the olympics. root for a team and enjoy it. lebron and iggy killed the first half. kobe killed the second half. jesus, it's like you guys arguing over who had the best all-star game. they're all going to have their moments. why not just sit back without making a comparison for a whole minute?

LOL. Lebron was getting his guys great looks tonight.

And by the way, if the pass doesn't directly lead to an advantage which directly leads to a score for the receiver of the pass, it's not recorded as an assist.

[bluechox2]

lolbron

[riseagainst]

you can tell who the Lebron jizz slurpers are in this thread.:lol

[plowking]

Its just hilarious to me that Jordan fans like to insist that Jordan was in fact a better passer than Lebron, but he just doesn't have the ball as much.

What a crock of shit really. Lebron is on another level in terms of passing. Its quite funny when certain posters act like Grant Hill or McGrady were right there as well.
The only forward/point guard combo player that I can remember being as good was Anfernee Hardaway.

[Rubio2Gasol]
