Lebron says he could averge 35-40 ppg if he really wanted too

[lakerspng]

that would be a ridiculous sight to behold.

LeBron, being LeBron could never average 40 points a game and resemble anywhere close to the player he's always been.

He simply does not have the diversity in his offensive arsenal to do that and doesn't play that way. He plays with a conscience, which is sometimes a benefit and sometimes a detriment.

Stupid response to a more stupid question.

30-33ppg no question.

[gts]

He averages up to 8.6 APG (while still putting in up to 30 PPG), thats up to 41.8% AST%,

He only averaged that high in ASST% once otherwise he's about 33%. That being said if he becomes a scorer first and takes the passing out of his game he becomes the focus of the defense. 35 ppg would be doable 40 ppg would be a stretch.

It wouldn't be very pretty ball and would be counter to the very thing that makes Lebron so dangerous.

In the weak 80s-90s? sure. Today.. I don't think so.


Part of what makes LeBron such a dangerous scorer, aside from his insane level IQ, athleticism and (recently) his shooting is his passing. I feel if he goes all-out scoring mode he'll be far more predictable and teams would be able to zone in on him a lot more. Teams force great scorers to pass and great passers to score.. LeBron is in that healthy medium which makes him far more dangerous and efficient.

Finally someone reversing the 80s-90s retards

It would take the ultimate feat in ballhoggery for Lebron to average 40ppg.. He already dominates the ball like no one to ever play the game before.. the only way he could get up the 5+ extra shots necessary to hit that mark is if he took away from his assists.. theres no option for him to average 40/8. Hes already capped out at how much he can handle the ball right now.


if Lebron is going to cut his passing in half on top of pounding the air out of the ball all game... his teammates will be completely frozen out.

Watch the games before you post.


He's averaging 27 on 56/40. I'm pretty sure that he can score 35 on 50/35. He actually scored 31.4 on 48% at 21.


I'm a Lebron stan?

[EricGordon23]

I could see that happening as long as he doesn't pass as much.

[Droid101]

Put up or shut up.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Possibly. Doubt he'd be very efficient though.

Good Lord, you don't know s.hit about basketball. Just sit in the corner and stfu, son.

[SilkkTheShocker]

LeBron is a better scorer than Kobe.

Get over it.

[ProfessorMurder]

He also said he'd bring a championship to Cleveland... And win 8 titles with the Heat.

[TMT]

Was it a specific question asked to him or is this guy really that insecure with himself as a player.

He was asked

[plowking]

35-36ppg. Sure. Anything more? Nah.

He's the dude that said he's ready to shoot if Spurs play him the same way, before 2013 finals started. Guess what happened?
