LeBron is 2nd all-time in career PER. Anthony Davis is 3rd all-time. Best duo ever?

[Poetry]

Let's say you're only evaluating them from a talent standpoint.

Where does LeBrow rank among the greatest duos of all-time?

https://www.basketball-reference.com...er_career.html

AD is #2 all-time in playoff points per game with 30.5 PPG (13 game sample*). LeBron is #6 with 28.92.

On paper yes

[warriorfan]

[MaxPlayer]

Probably.

It's funny, pretty much all of the other possibilities have also been Lakers:

Wilt/Jerry
Magic/Kareem
Shaq/Kobe

[ArbitraryWater]

you just gave the make-up of warriorfan's debate material for YEARS....


he's happy af right now

[Smoke117]

Per lol. One of the stupidest and most overrated of the advanced stats.

"Anthony Davis is a scrub stat padder"




"AS A FIRST OPTION, NOT A SECOND OPTION"

[Poetry]

One of the stupidest and most overrated of the advanced stats.

Even if we ignore the stats, they're an all-time duo from a talent standpoint. It's going to be interesting to see how they play together.

[Bankaii]

The only non-retarded thing OP said was "LeBrow".
I like it.

[3ball]

Each guy is flawed on their own, but perfect together - AD is too bird-fed/assisted, while Bron is too unassisted/ball-dominant for his position

I think it's the best duo ever on paper - and again, they appear to be a perfect match

[1987_Lakers]

Shaq and Kobe

[SomeBlackDude]

but what that spot up 3 do doe? 🤨

[The Iron Fist]

Kareem and Magic is still the cream of the crop.

[3ball]

I'd still go with magic/kareem or Shaq/Kobe

Lebron is inferior to those players, and is too old

[jstern]

Lebron can lead soup cans into playoffs, Finals. And he's playing with the 3rd player all time in PER? What's Davis VORP? I think for the first time ever Lebron finally has enough help.
