LeBron is saying, "Since I can't beat those good players with actual triple doubles, I'm just going to ruin the credibility of the stat."

[@swpdisciple]

If Westbrook didn’t then he won’t.

[@vonchriscordova4789]

Great take man. Thats exactly what he is doing, its double edge as he gets praised for his triple doubles even his team is losing but if you look how he got his triple doubles, mostly were from garbage time so he gets the record for his stats before buzzer sounds

[@Justin_Watson23]

It cheapens it even more than Westbrook bc Westbrook wasn't near the bottom of the league (-15) in "on/off # per 100 possessions", the gold standard in determining how impactful counting stats are.

[@swpdisciple]

@ I’m not sure where that number is coming from or what the context is but basketball reference says he’s 115 offensive/117 def rating so -2.0 which isn’t good especially vs his historical 116/105 but we also have to see what lineups he runs with. I know typically LBJ prefers to be in lineups with the lesser players after the first 8 minutes or so of starters. That’s been his MO since the first 7 years with Cleveland. His defensive box +/- is -0.4 (negative for the first time since his rookie season but he has one of the best defensive field goal percentages in the league (39.4% last I saw). I’d need to break down film but it seems to indicate that he’s mostly solid individually defensively (obviously not 2013 Lebron) but JJ has him playing with the bench a lot to steady the ship. He also plays of the ball more which I’ve noticed is messing with the flow of his game. He’s averaging 3.9 TO/game while he’s usually closer to 3.5. The season is still early though.

He does these things despite being the oldest player, then later have media complain about his minutes played when he loses games he should win to have a built in excuse. He literally has no reason to still be in the nba. He’s not been competitive and has been in the playin every year but 1 since he got to LA. He does not play to win, he plays to look good. So that even in losses he can say/have his media talk heads say “I/he did my/his job.” He has not played any defense for YEARS. He does nothing on the defensive side to save himself to get stats on the offensive side. He has ushered in this non-defensive NBA that runs and guns. He’s always been afraid to defend the opposing teams best player and to close out games on offense. Which used to be the essence of NBA basketball. The game changed for the worse while he was at the helm.

SAS is a clown. He actually blamed LeBum's stat padding on his teammates as if to say those guys aren't good, so James has to pad stats. Which just isn't the case. Dude has padded his entire existence.

Not expecting LeBron to play defense is asinine. He’s out there playing. He’s putting up numbers. So why can’t he play defense too?

[@jaykyungchung2497]

Because the manipulative media decorates him regardless of whatever he does and doesn't, and the puppet fanboys miraculously look away from any of his numerous flaws and only cheer for whatever the media sells. Therefore there is absolutely no need for him to play D with the only exception of free defensive rebounds his servant teammates serve to him every game. He only cares about what can give him more numbers on the paper. This stat padder is the biggest fraud in the league history backed up fully by the combined efforts of the media, fandom and the league itself.

LeBron is almost 40. That's why he can't hustle back on Defense. The other side to that is that he also should be playing fewer minutes. When you're on the court with a guy who is going to lead the team in turnovers, the last thing you want to do is take years off of your career sprinting back on Defense after his turnovers while he gets paid significantly more than you and he doesn't even sprint back to play D.

[@Zett76]

tbf: it's not that he is not able to. He CHOSES not too play D, because on the other side of the court, there are more stats to pad.

I'm so sick of hearing people say they're not going to expect LeBron to play both ends of the court because he's 39, if you can't play a full game at both ends of the court he needs to reduce his minutes, if he doesn't want to play defense at all he needs to retire sick of these damn excuses. You cannot be the goat and you don't play defense 🤷🏿‍♂️. You cannot brag about having a triple double at 39 and then turn around and have an excuse for not playing defense at 39 Michael Jordan got votes for an all defensive team at the age of 40 with a bad knee so I'm sick of this b*******😡. If you cannot give the effort get out of the game, all I see this dude doing is running over to referees looking for excuses for his damn five turnovers a game 🤬

He constantly argues with refs about bad calls and consistently leaves his teammates in 4 on 5 mismatches because he doesn't get back on defense. It's typical Stephen A, passive-aggressively criticizing the team's bigger issues without calling out the root cause...LeBron.

He took a well respected, franchise the LA Lakers and turned them into the biggest joke in NBA history. We’re so sick of LeBron James and it’s time for him to just step away and hopefully the NBA will get back to his former glory.
