Countdown until LeBron overtakes Kobe in Assists All-Time

[pauk]

No mention of the fact that Lebron has basically played the role of a PG who just doesn't have to bring the ball up the floor, and has done so most of his career. Stat-padders always gonna look good on the all-time stats lists.

If Lebron would start PG he would have the role of handling the ball as a main fulltime role, in his case it would mean he would bring the ball up for literally the entire game, every single ball possession.... and not like he is doing now, which is to occasionally do that and which mainly is handled by a certain Kyrie Irving..... there is a huge difference in possessions to padd assists when being a Point-Forward (a guy who does PG stuff sometimes more or less) and a Point-Guard (a guy who does PG stuff 24-7)....

Lebron gets his assists MAINLY because of unselfishness & passing ability/vision, he will get you minimum 6-7 assists even if he never is allowed to bring the ball up.... he just has to touch the ball, no matter where he is on the court and his natural instincts & skills will kick in...... if he actually played PG, he would average at least 10 APG.... i can guarantee you that....

Here is an example of Lebron actually starting PG in his prime, 13 straight games (Mo & Gibson were injured or played injured in & out)..... notice the assist increase (despite still shooting/scoring alot):



No my friends, if Lebron really was a full-time PG... only 7 assists a game would be a travesty by his standards....

Him at PG is "Lebron ball" at a level you have never seen before lol

Pretty crazy stretch of numbers right there

I still say that year (2010) was Lebron at his best. Yeah he was smarter and more efficient in 2012/2013, but in terms of sheer dominance, 2010 Lebron was scary.

MJ had a better stretch and averaged 32/8/8 when he was on that stat pad shit

Kobe playing PG at 34 had some great stretches as well

A Kobe stan making a statement like this? Shaq says hi

Just getting into top 10 all-time assist leaders list will be a historic/unbreakable feat, imo considering no non-PG has ever touched foot there and i doubt there will be another one after Lebron...... hell, a non-PG doesnt even exist inside top 25.... currently the non-PG who is the highest up there is Scottie Pippen (#27).

...and neither does a player exist who is top 10 all-time scorer while also being a top 10 all-time assist leader...

Lebron will do all that and it will be unbreakable i believe, just as hard to surpass as Wilts 100 pts & Oscars TD season is. Considering a SG/SF/PF/C averaging more than 7 assists a game for his entire career doesnt come very often, if ever... especially not while also averaging 27-28 ppg for the career.... and it will take more than that career assist average to surpass Lebron.... so i really doubt there will be such a player...

STFU. You're clearly biased if you think that. Those achievements by Wilt and Oscar being unbreakable has more to do with the game being much different back then over anything else i.e. no one is averaging 40 shots per game today like Wilt did and there's nowhere near enough rebounding opportunities for a PG to get 10+ rebounds a game. That's not the case with Lebron possibly being a top 10 scoring and assist leader. It would be an incredible achievement, but its not nearly as close to impossible as those achievements. Grant Hill may have done it if he was healthy. Dwyane Wade could've been capable of doing it he was healthy.

pauk goin wild in this thread like an adolescent that just stumbled upon a brazzers pass

A lot of assists are actually selfish. Kobe makes the right passes that lead to hockey assists. Lebron makes a pass, regardless of consequence, in hopes of padding his stats.
