I could see him taking Big O's 1964 MVP
He would have been playing Power Forward/Center against Thurmond in high school, so that's what he would have played in college and the NBA.
He would probably never average more than 2-3 assists.
Probably 14-16 rebounds.
The scoring is tricky. I'd say between 22-32, varying by year.
He would just be a very different player, with a different basketball IQ, and no knowledge of what's happened in NBA history.
And he'd probably only weigh 220 to keep up with the pace.

NBA lottery pick
Re: Predict LeBron stats if he plays in the 1960's.
Injectable/oral HGH, HCG, Deca Durabolin didn't exist in the 1960's
So his physique would look nothing like it currently does.
Nor would he have had to get a jaw tumor removed in 2009 playoffs, so...
So probably very similar numbers to Elvin Hayes/Oscar Robertson.

5-time NBA All-Star
Re: Predict LeBron stats if he plays in the 1960's.
Is he allowed to carry, travel, push off on drive... and play with no 3 point line, while constantly driving against 7 foot shot blockers?
Or are we transporting the 60's NBA to todays fixed WWE?
Different game. He is great player in today's NBA, I have no idea how he would play then.

Seems reasonble.
20 assists is a lot but you're on point with the rest. Maybe even more rpg.
Playing against midgets who dribble with one hand feels like a joke.

I think higher. It's. ...the 60's.

MH!
Re: Predict LeBron stats if he plays in the 1960's.
Something around 40/20/10/5 and ~10 blocks a games, considering the fact that they rarely called goaltends back then.

Re: Predict LeBron stats if he plays in the 1960's.
Depends on the year
2009 lebron in 1962
Probably something like 45-12-8 on 55% shooting if they order him to score
He isn't averaging over 70 points that's dumb
But his numbers would improve. I respect all eras but the nba did get progressively better as a whole, just based on full game footage.

9 assists seems legit . But 32 ppg and 13 rbpg too low for him . 37-38 and 17-18 more accurately , based on his peak level .

Re: Predict LeBron stats if he plays in the 1960's.
People realize that 17 year old Lebron was 6'7 without shoes and 240-245 pounds with like 7% body fat?
He became a bigger workout warrior in the league so I can easily see a grown man at 26 carry 255-260 pounds that's lean.
