Can Lebron match Magic's 87 season?

[ImKobe]

Who cares, be like saying if Magic could average 25 a game.

Thing is that Magic could have averaged 25+ if he took a few more shots per game, Lebron has been a mediocre FT shooter all his career.

So what? Not like his FT's cost his team a series, like Magic did.

Yeah in 2011 he would have been lucky for it to go down to FT

[StrongLurk]

Magic was a better passer and an elite FT shooter, there's no comparing the two. He actually got better with age and was nearly a 50/40/90 player in 1990. 1987 wasn't "peak" Magic either, 1989 version was much better but he got injured in the Finals. Imagine thinking Bron could ever shoot close to 90% from the FT line for a season

Why did my OP make you so upset that you needed to troll?

Good thing he made a FT to clinch the 2016 finals then.

Had no significance to the outcome of the game. Kyries 3 was enough to win as per the final score.

Lmao at "clinched".

The only clinching LeBron ever has done is his butthole as he got outscored by Jason Terry in the NBA Finals

If James doesn't make it, then GS has 11 seconds left to tie the game with a 3 pointer.

LOL @ how dumb you are.

Thing is, LeBron would decimate the so-called defenses that Magic faced throughout his years in the West.

LA's division was the laughing stock of the league.

Lebron is a poor man

Magic passed up enough layups that would put him at 25 a game....he just wanted to get people going.

Magic could have scored 25 comfortably. Magic wasn

Magic could have scored 25 comfortably. Magic wasn’t a good transition scorer....he was elite. And he was near unstoppable one on one in the no 5 second backdown days.

Magic chose not to score so others could stay involved. He was legit one of the better scorers in the league. He just deferred to Kareem most of his career and spent most of the rest giving others easy baskets instead of scoring himself.

He got people going on and off the court. A true playmaker

I agree! Some posters don't understand the MENTALITY of pass first PG's who can ALSO dominate scoring! They look at the scoring numbers and see Magic averaged 18-24 PPG throughout his career. But they don't REALIZE how many looks he passed up for himself to drop off dimes. And when it WAS TIME to takeover games scoring, Magic would go on rampages. He just played with so many talented scorers that IT FIT with his natural pass first instinct. Magic was BORN to be a 6'9 pass first PG. It wasn't a novelty. BECAUSE he's the greatest floor general of all time!

If u are TRULY a student of the game, u KNOW Magic and Isiah FOR DAMN SURE were alpha dog scorers. BUT they put MORE OF PREMIUM on being the best floor generals on Earth! Some guys like a Pippen score 18-22 PPG and that's LITERALLY the max of their scoring ability. Which is ok for sure. BUT others who score in that range of points are ACTUALLY alpha dog level guys. They just play on deep ass teams. Or put a premium on the floor generalship OVER scoring 30 PPG!

That's closer than Bran will ever be to a 50/40/90 season, heck, I'll change my name to ImLebron if he shoots 80..

You're a moron..50/40/90 seasons?


Magic's 48/38/89 season is literally 0 for 3

Bron's 2013 season was 57/41/75 which is 2 for 3
