Father time better step it up
Genuinely awestruck by Lebron. 1of1.
Father Time is down bad right now
MVP
🐐
He is so absurdly adaptable. He has played through so many steps of the evolution of how basketball is played in the NBA. Also sometimes I think about rookie lebron with his athleticism coming into a league today with so much spacing, would’ve been even more ridiculous
Looked vintage this afternoon. Still wild to think that 7 years ago I was worried that he only had a couple good years left.
Every following year, you think “oh yeah, he’s got at least a couple seasons left”, and then he just keeps going. He compensates increasing age with increasing BBIQ at a perfect pace, as well as somehow improving his 3pt% by like 10% from last year
At 39 years old LeBron is still trailblazing and playing futuristic basketball.
I can’t imagine believing in his OG Cleveland days that he’d ever shoot 40% from 3 at a very high volume. It’s truly unfathomable. Without fathom.
Fucking goat
It’s a cute stat cut-off but I’m pretty sure guys like Curry and Durant have probably finished just barely short of this.
Edit: Uh… so I just checked this and Curry last season shot 72.9% in the restricted area and 42.7% from 3, just not at the volume.
I also checked Durant and he has also done this multiple times, just not at the volume. He was very close in 2012-13 and probably would’ve passed these markers if not for his FTA.
I DON’T CARE WHERE YOU RATE HIM, HE’S STILL UNDERRATED
goat and it ain’t close
I can understand, at this age and point in his career, that he breaks a bunch of all-time records. But the fact that he is still setting SEASONAL firsts and PERSONAL highs at age 39 with injuries, a not-top-tier team and a mediocre coach is SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE! The man is a MONSTER!
