Lebron having only 4 mvps considering he has been great for 20 years seems low retrospectively
I was a Lebron hater before, I only watch Lakers games (and maybe the finals if the matchup is fun) and I only watched him when he played against Lakers. I used to think it was Kobe and MJ for 1A and 1B and I did not care about the rest. But now that I watched every Lebron game for the last 5 years, I just can not deny that he is the greatest basketball player of all-time. I still love Kobe, he is a real life inspiration to me and I don’t care about Lebron outside the court. But I just can not deny the truth.
If voters were impartial, Lebron would have double digit MVPâs by now. Or close to it. Insane consistency.
He deserves a better coach than pig derived meat
I hate how often people just list stats outside of context from different eras.
LeBron’s efficiency this season was great, but the league average TS% right now is 58%. In terms of relative TS%, he’s +5.
In 2007-08, the league average TS% was 54%. Kobe was +3.6. But, Kobe also scored at a higher volume than LeBron has especially when adjusted for pace.
In 2004-05, the league average TS% was 52.9%. Nash was +7.7. But, LeBron also scored at a higher volume than Nash did even when adjusted for pace.
In 2010-11, the league average TS% was 54.1%. Rose was +0.9 and I consider him to be a total fraud MVP.
Iverson gets dragged for his efficiency but as putrid as it sounds, 51.8 TS% was actually the league average in 2000-01. Also, it’s important to note that Iverson did score 31.1ppg while his team had a snail’s pace of 90.6 compared to the 100.9 of the current Lakers.
For both BPM and PER, there are limitations in terms of their formulas (like the value of a possession in PER calculations) that don’t translate fairly between eras.
Yeah but the game changed. I’m not happy that it did..but it did. ð
