LeBron > Jordan GOAT Super AIDS Containment, solved #22999 post by Matt R. (addendum #23174)
Very impressed with the minute sequence where LeBron clearly lost the ball headed to the rim, heat got the ball anyway and scored, then he elbows his defender in the chin, drawing a defensive foul and stern talking to from the official and hitting a 3.
It's these ref assisted 5 point swings in close games that truly bring out the best in great players.

The thread that will go on for years..........

Who cares about leak-outs. You yourself have said it's all about 40% irrespective of the role the person has.
Rookie Rui...... 14/6/2 on 47%
Rookie Pip.........8/4/2 on 46%
Career Pip...... 16/6/5 on 46%
Rui was better than Pippen initially, and he barely needed to improve to reach Pippen's general caliber, so he surely would've done that alongside MJ.... I will say that Lebron can take credit for developing his first player ever in Rui, whose recent improvement occurred on Lebron's watch and alongside him (Reaves can be attributed to the highly-assisted AD, who arrived at the same time as rookie Reaves in 2020 and led the Lakers in scoring or co-led).

Leakouts do actually account for it, but isn't all I mentioned and you know that - I specifically stated that other factors were more important, such as a lack of elite off-ball play in the halfcourt that is characteristic of the best teams.. He isn't actually coming off screens in the half court, or getting assisted buckets at the end of shot clocks, or at the end of ball movement that deflates defenses.. It's just a lot of transition and down-hill in the halfcourt.
And the reason that I use career assisted rates is to eliminate noise/fugazi's like this.. The numbers will hold (he won't be the first player with career assisted rate below 40% to produce the best basketball as 1st option, aka dominant champion or dynasty), and it will ultimately devolve into your-turn-my-turn against the top teams in the playoffs - now watch the prophecy be revealed.
Rui is better than the washed and 7 ppg version of Harper that played with the Bulls in 1995 before MJ returned, and then also the version that MJ played with from 96-98'... But the pre-injuries version of Harper destroys Rui, and Pippen.. He was the original "next MJ"
Lebron is so good at 40 that when Doncic comes to town and starts out out terrible (remember he's an unwanted scrap heap guy like 95 Rodman) Lebron just goes hero mode so they win everything and nobody notices Doncic isn't even close to game ready for whatever reason that the Mavs may have been on to.

Nope.. Sorry.. You said "worst trade in history"... Everyone said that... Therefore, by process of elimination, the other option is valid, aka Lebron-ball skillset destroys everyone like Love, Luka, Westbrook, etc, etc, etc, etc.. The unfolding events continue to provide additional historical record/sample that shows Lebron's skillset lacks the chemistry/teammate performance to produce the best teams or a viable title frequency, so he isn't top 10 all-time.., Now if Luka wakes up and starts ballin', then Lebron's off-ball game won't be good enough to sway the action back his way.
