Well, considering the first 2 years Kobe had 6 and 11 FGA/game bc he wasn’t that good yet doesn’t make this too cool of a stat.
Bron had 18+ immediately bc he was the guy
The pass first guy averages more FGA than Kobe Bryant.
The pass first guy has 1 assist title in 21 seasons.
The pass first guy has never cracked top 40 in assist to turnovers in 21 seasons.
The pass first guy is the All-Time leader in turnovers
The pass first guy is about to surpass Kobe in All-Time missed shots.
The Score first guy has 10 scoring titles in 15 seasons of play.
The Score first guy has 6 championships in 15 seasons of play.
The Score first guy has 2 different 3 peats.
The pass first guy who is the all time leader in scoring benefited from an era that focuses on 3 point shooting and rule changes in 2018 to allow more scoring on top of playing 6 more seasons.
Longevity Stats don't make you better, If you are going to count the all time scoring accolade, then the all time turnover accolade also knocks you down.
What LeBron is doing right now is just without precedent in sports history. Just impossible to still be this athletic, this productive & this good at this stage. Just impossible.
Be honest.
If we told you a guy from Serbia with a 5-inch vertical would win more MVPs than Kobe and Shaq, would you believe us? No, you wouldn’t. And that’s a big reason why Jokic didn’t win MVP again this year.
Winning a 3rd straight MVP would mean you did something LeBron and MJ couldn’t do. Something that hasn’t happened in 37 years. Something that only a special, generational talent that we’ve never seen before can do.
But that’s exactly who Nikola Jokic is. He is so f—king good at basketball for no reason. He can shoot less than 10 shots and still completely control a game.
And if he hasn’t convinced you already, just look at what he did in his NBA Finals debut...
🔸Joined Michael Jordan as the only players to lead both teams in points and assists in a Finals debut 🔸Joined Jason Kidd as the only players to record a triple-double in a Finals debut
🔸Joined LeBron James as the only players with at least 27/14/10 in a Finals game. It took LeBron 42 Finals games to reach that stat line.
The best player in the world doesn’t need another MVP. He needs a FMVP…📷
More pts, reb, assists, RPG, APG, higher 3%, FG%, more buzzer beaters in playoffs at a higher percentage, and beat a team in the finals that broke Jordan’s record for best regular season record….🐐
To quote my friend @getnickwright “he needs a Time Machine to pass him again”
LeBron has played 338 more games than MJ did. Yet MJ won 10 scoring titles to LBJ's 1. MJ: 3 steals titles to LBJ's 0. MJ: DPOY & 9-time 1st team all D to LBJ's 5. MJ 5-4 in MVPs. MJ 6-0 in Finals, 6 MVPs. MJ averaged 8 assists in '89. MJ FTs 84% to LBJ's 74. MJ: RUNAWAY GOAT.
@SterlingSharp Lmao right.
They’re really just mad they can’t manipulate an athlete as easily as they’d like…imagine if athletes were like “it’s ridiculous we need to talk to assistant coaches at games and don’t get access to the head coach right away.
