Top 10 of Lebron's 3rd options and below

[3ball]

.

1) Bosh (hof)
2) Love (hof)
3) 2010 Mo Williams
4) 2010 Varejao (all-def)
5) Ray Allen (hof)
6) Derrick Rose
7) Rodney Hood
8) IT
9) Korver
10) George Hill

I thought about including 2009 all-star MVP Shaq, since he was bron's 4th option in 2010... He averaged 12/7 with 1.5 blocks alongside Bron - a lot better than Cartwright or Longley but maybe not quite enough to make the list? Hard to say...

I might've missed some

Yea you did :

1-9

[RealSkipBayless]

Do you still consider Mo Williams a "mini curry"?

Curry is better than Mo, hence the term "mini"

But 09' Mo > 10 and 11' Curry

Curry was an 18 ppg player when he was taking 4 threes a game like Mo in the previous era -

but his 3-point attempts jumped to 8 per game in 2013, as the league adopted new spacing strategy - only then did his ppg increase and it increased every year with the increase in his 3-pt attempts

So similar to Mo, he's a 3-pt robot, but just better at it

You're comparing mj's winning stats to Lebron's losing stats

That isn't fair

MJ had better losing stats against better comp (44 ppg versus the 86' Celts and their #1 defense with 5 HOF)

And his worst winning stats from 96' Finals > lebron's worst winning stats from 2013 Finals

Lebron's 23 on 43% was insufficient thru 6 games and needed Ray Allen to force game 7.. MJ never played that bad thru 6 games, so he never needed a game 7

It's funny because I just took the Pippen's worst series template and barely had to change the numbers..

MJ only has 2 series that compare - 96' Finals (27.3 on 41.5%) and 97' ECF (30.2 on 38.7%)..

(the 97' ecf shouldn't count because he averaged 30, and I omitted all lebron series where he averaged 30+ regardless of efficiency)

FINALS bruh

Not 1st round fodder

We know you think 1-9 is cool but its not

It's against a better team than lebron ever faced

and we can't use Finals anyway because MJ never lost the championship - so there's no stats from lost Finals to compare to the ones you posted for lebron

[StrongLurk]

That list isn't impressive at all

Neither ***/9.

How many 11-time all-stars were 3rd options in their prime?

I'll wait


How many 3rd options were top 4 in the league in PER, VORP, BPM, and WS/48?

I'll wait
