What numbers would 2009 LeBron put up in todays NBA?

[Westbrook_Fan]

Considering 19th season LeBron was still the best player in the league averaging 30/8/6 on 52% FG :confusedshrug:

[SouBeachTalents]

18/7/7 on 54%TS

[8Ball]

About 30/9/8.

LeBron is not a low IQ chucker.

It wouldn't be much different tbh. Bron was way more explosive back then but his game was also less complete scoring wise. His three, mid and even post game while still primitive is better than 09. He maybe scores a few more points a game than 09 so maybe he at 31 or 32 a game.

2009 LeBron was peak LeBron...he'd absolutely obliterate this league and probably put up something like 33/10/10 on 55%.

I think 2012 & 2013 were his peak years. More skilled offensively & at his peak on defense.

2018 might have best his very best year on offense, but his defense wasn't near his '09-'13 years.

Current Bran is a much better shooter so his numbers wouldn't be that much better tbh.

[BarberSchool]

31/9/8 on 52%FG

[Johnny32]

probably something like 40-10-10 if playing with the trash roster he had this past season.

[Westbrook_Fan]

Imo 38-40ppg

9 rebounds

9-10 assists

[TAZORAC]

09 Lebron, could attack the rim endlessly, 4 quarters, every night. I'd say around 33/8/6

[Wally450]

Not as much as 2013 LeBron.

[coastalmarker99]

Not as much as 2013 LeBron.

35-12-10


2009 Lebron was God tier as that was peak Lebron, especially on defence.


Here is what some of the top SF of 2009 did vs LeBron offensively (their regular season per 36 in parenthesis)

Durant- 16.4 PPG, .518 TS% (23.3 PPG, .577 TS%)

Pierce- 18.1 PPG, .474 TS% (19.7 PPG, .582 TS%)

Johnson- 13.7 PPG, .475 TS% (19.5 PPG, .534 TS%)

Carmelo- 15.8 PPG, .488 TS% (23.8 PPG, .532 TS%)

Butler- 14.2 PPG, .438 TS% (19.4 PPG, .552 TS%)

Gay- 10.9 PPG, .357 TS% (18.3 PPG, .528 TS%)

Average dropoff: -5.8 PPG, -9.3 TS%

What’s amazing is that when faced Cleveland and LeBron was off the court, they dominated:

The 6 SF’s stats when (Per 36):

LeBron on court: 15.1 PPG, .461 TS%, 3.3 Reb, 3.6 AST-3.4 TOV, -9.4 +/-

LeBron off court: 24.6 PPG, .596 TS%, 5.9 Reb, 2.3 AST-1.8 TOV, +0.9 +/-

That is a 9.5 points per 36 and 13.5 TS% difference.


In the playoffs, LeBron continued playing elite man defense.

Here are how some of his guys did when LeBron was on the court (per 36 minutes):

Tayshaun Prince: 3.9 PPG, .260 TS%

Joe Johnson: 15.3 PPG, .480 TS%

Marvin Williams: 5.8 PPG, .337 TS%

Dropoff from regular season averages: -7.6 PPG, -18.1 TS%

He couldn't hold Rafer Alston and he didn't dare try to hold Dwight Howard. He would struggle against guys like Jimmy, Tatum, Giannis, KD, Kyrie, Lavine.

[Bawkish]

Monster stats then probably lose to someone like KAT in WCF

[Baller789]

Based on his own fanbase, he probably won't make it in the NBA because he couldn't shoot the 3.
