Tbf lebron if lebron decides he’s not participating in rebounding you’ll usually find him at half court the second a shot goes up looking for a transition outlet
He’s not exactly outrunning anyone he’s just getting a head start

LeBron is sooo great!

Bron has those Giannis-like huge strides where he’ll get a rebound, take three strides and one dribble and be at the other rim.

He’s still one of the fastest players in the league on an open floor fast break, if you notice him he’ll start on the other three point line and out hustle 4 guys to the rim easily and catch a lob or score somehow it’s ridiculous
Is there any athlete, in any sport, that has been as dominant as LeBron for this long? The consistency is unrivaled in the nba but how does it compared to any other athlete in any other sport?
Lots of the comments here expect Lebron to play center on defense , take the rebound and play point guard om offense running for the fast break.
Except he actually had done this multiple times. Just this year, he outran the young rockets team playing center when AD was out.
NOBODY is going to stand in front of Lebron with a whole head of steam. Or at least, nobody with an ounce of self-preservation.
someone post that Lebron created by the government pasta

When he gathers dude looks like a massive RB. If the defender had enough of a head start to be near him at the rim they’re still fucked because they bounce right off his shoulders
I’d love to see TS% and FGA for this, as well as PPP. My guess is that they’re all *crazy* high.
edit: and where he ranks in and-1s. He’s almost certainly not #1 like he was in his prime but I bet he’s still top 5 or 10.
Cherry picking?
Because he chooses several times per game to barely cross the half court line if at all. It’s called cherry picking, and it used to be frowned upon.

I am 100% dead serious when i say I think there is at least a 50% chance that lebron is a genetically modified human being and in turn, has no father.
I am dead serious. I believe lebron was grown in a test tube and then artificially implanted into gloria james and carried to term. no human being should possess his combination of size, strength and athleticism. AND to book it all out, he’s very intelligent too. (besides the decision) remember how much poise he had just coming into the league at 18 years old? it’s un-natural. how often have TV analysts described him as a “freak of nature” …..maybe it’s truer than we know.
I am serious. we all know (and I swear I am not saying this to be insulting or mean) that lebron’s mom was a crack whore (is drug addicted prostitute better?) it’s just a fact, it happened. I am NOT saying this to be mean, in fact I am a heroin addict and know a few woman who have sold themselves for dope, it happens. they are not bad people.
and the government has a history of using prostitutes and impoverished people in “experiments.” read about MK-ULTRA. it happened. the CIA used to have prostitutes slip LSD to johns and then the agents would watch what happened thru 2-way mirrors. the government helped start and continue the crack epidemic of the 80s.
I believe that lebron was a precursor experiment to create super soldiers. something where they were just like “well let’s test it out on some poor people that no one will notice and see if we can get any results before we sink more billions into this.”
it’s not all that crazy. you don’t think the government has interest in creating genetically modified super human soldiers? we know for a FACT it does. it’s been documented. you don’t think russia or china has interest in such a thing? you know they do. and anything russia or china is or would be doing we are doing. to do it first and do it better.
he’s some kind of experiment that they just monitored from a distance and let keep growing. and i mean this was probably initially started with just a few people who believed it could be done and that’s why it started small and covert using regular civilians. until they could show the results to the higher ups and say “look at this, you don’t wanna fund this on a larger scale?”
and where else would such a person end up besides in a professional sports league?
I think there is probably some secret base(s) out there that are now filled with people like lebron, younger than him probably. if they couldn’t see how well the experiment worked until he was about 16-18 years old (he was pretty much a full grown man at 16 and could have came off the bench for any NBA team if not started) than maybe there are a bunch of 9-15 year old super humans like lebron (not copies of him but given the same genetic boost that he was) eating chow in some secret barracks right now…..
until someone comes forth and the DNA test shows him to be his father (and a bunch have come forward and been shown not to be) than I will believe this is AT LEAST possible..
edit: something I’d like to add in case someone says “well if this is true why wouldn’t lebron’s mom come forward and admit it, just say I participated in a government experiment and lebron was the result.” well she doesn’t know. it’s simple, she goes to a hotel with a john, he slips something in a drink and she gets knocked out-cold. they take her and do whatever they did. give her some amnesiacs or anesthesia (probably benzos too) so when she wakes up she’s in a haze and doesn’t remember anything. not even the john. she finds out she’s pregnant later and just assumes she got knocked up by any random john. has lebron. shit even if she participated willingly, got paid, and knows everything, no one would believe her crazy ass.
edit2: i just thought of something else, i’ve been pinning this on “the government” when there are plenty of private companies and organizations with the funding and technology to do something like this. i mean people this is 2015…..wouldn’t you be more shocked if by this point someone HADN’T tried to create a super human by now? but you never thought that you might have been watching one this whole time.

A lot of these comments are misinformed about how this stat came to fruition; LeBron isn’t just barreling through defenses and getting to the rim. For years now, he’s had stat guys on the franchise tracking movements during games and modeled certain activities in the game on preservation and efficiency, which has led to him intentionally not getting back on defense as a strategy. There are so many times in a game that it’s simply advantageous for him to get back on defense and be in a set, which leads to incredibly easy transition buckets after a rebound-to-outlet for LeBron or inbound down court. It’s an advantageous play: give up the 4-on-5 on one end for a make or a board in order to get the easy fast break score on the other end, which not only leads to a scoring advantage (or offset of the opponent score), but then the opponent has to go all the way back down to inbound while LeBron’s team is pretty much already in their defensive set for the next possession. It makes him look like a bum sometimes, but it also leads to stats like this and a more efficient and advantageous look for his team.
What a cherry picked stat
Easy to do when you don’t play defense lmao
Dude snow bird’s multiple times a game.
This would be more impressive if a huge swathe of those “fast break” points weren’t scored on plays where LeBron never crossed half court on the previous play.
Tends to be easier to score when there are no defenders and you have a head start on the other team because you didn’t want to play defense on the last possession.
He has a bronze medal too!
Take foul rule definitely helped
Honest
Genuine
Humility
Cuz his old ass doesn’t get back on d lol
He Cherry picks for half of those these days, but still a fun stat
