More impressive: Lebron, Dantley or Hakeem (2014,1983,1994)

[TheMarkMadsen]

Dantley: 31/6/5 with 1 steal and no blocks on 58%

Lebron: 25/7/7 with 2 steals and .3 blocks per game on 60%

Hakeem: 27/12/4 with 2 steals and 4 blocks on 53%


Obviously Lebron has an advantage of not having played the whole season yet, but with the way the HEAT are built i doubt the FG% or assist go down.

Interested to see who's stat line is more impressive..bored on a snowy night

I'm assuming Lebron goes up to about 26-27ppg on about 58% shooting, and the rebounds probably go up to 8.
Anyway, the season isn't done yet, so hard to tell.

I never liked Dantley as a player, so I never bothered to watch much of his games on tape. The only ones I've seen is of the Larry Bird collection I have, so a small number of games.

Obviously Hakeem's season is nice, and I've seen bits and pieces, games, here and there. I'd say Lebron's last season is better than all 3 of these mentioned.

The fact that Dream has 2 steals and 4 blocks makes this pretty damn easy to choose.

I was surprised to see Lebrons blocks so low compared to his previous seasons.

I didn't see Dantley play but added him since this was off raw stats and not much else.

Hakeem's numbers are pretty insane.
He was averaging 4 assists at the C position. Those blocks and steals are amazing, too.

24/24/8 with 7 blocks on 68% and 68 wins - I'll take that guy

Define the modern era.

So say pace adjusted it was 16/16/7/4 70%. Assists wouldn't go down much if at all as rules were stricter then.

So throw that player in with the other 3. How does he stack up?

The heat been been playing only OK defense this season. They don't care about rebounding and barely care about defense most nights. They've decided to be all about efficient offense. At least for now. They can still turn the D up, but they have been pretty lazy with it mostly.

[Marchesk]

To answer the question, I'm going with Hakeem. He has a bigger overall impact with his rebounding and defending the rim.

His English wasn't that great though.

AD missed 60 games in 82-83

thought that was an exceptionally high shooting percentage for an over 30ppg scorer

I should have put 81 or 82

Forgive me

24pts on 68% 24reb and 8 assists with probably 5+ blocks a game >>>

Dantley was a great scorer, but without checking the Jazz' win/loss, he never played for a winner, and never made his teams win until he went to Detroit. The Pistons have been challenging in the Playoffs but needed a low post scorer. Of course AD's numbers fell when he was with Detroit.

This thread is a good follow up to what I was saying in another thread about "empty stats". I don't believe in a literal "empty stat", since stats always means something, in my view. However, playing for the Jazz, and not even being considered as one of the better teams in the NBA is pretty close to what you would think as stats with less impact. It is far easier to put up good numbers on a bad team than it is to lead a contending team. Heck, just look at Evan Turner this year with the Sixers. The Sixers said, "here's the ball, take it to the rim", and he's getting the numbers. Is ET averaging more PPG than Tony Parker? Anyone willing to take Turner over Parker as the anchor of your team?

To answer your question, Lebron and Hakeem's numbers are much better when put in a context of winning.
