LeBron At Point Guard Is A Movie

LeBron at Point Guard is a movie. #nba #lebron

Yes, LeBron at point guard. Now only if AD was the 4 and they had a legit big man at the 5, **but hey I’ll take what I can get.** They faced off against a pretty hot OKC thunder team*,* **the best team in the NBA, and the best record in the West** and it was a throwback movie that might change the NBA again.

The logic is extremely simple. LeBron is ball dominant, a great playmaker, and the pick and roll with AD is lethal. If you can have a bigger guard, you go for it. If you can have bigger size, you go for it

During the 2020 Lakers championship run, **actually half of you discount the bubble run right?** Let’s look at the regular season for a second. Before the pandemic, the Lakers were 1st in the Western conference, LeBron was averaging over 10 assists a game, and he was an MVP candidate. All which is miles better of anything the Lakers have produced since then.

And for the half that consider the bubble as legitimate, LeBron as point guard won us a championship. And sure, the Lakers ran different lineups based on matchups but the top 3 lineups all included LeBron as a point guard and gave several options.

And in this new lineup, Prince, Cam, or Vanderbuilt can take on that role. The main issue here is shooting

When LeBron was point guard in 2020, the Lakers were 23rd in 3 pointers made, but were #1 in field goal percentage. They chose to dominate inside while still having capable shooters spacing the floor.

In 2020, LeBron averaged 7 pick and rolls as the ball handler per game. This season, he’s only averaging 4.1 and sure you can say he’s an old man that needs a cane and rest on the court, but I think LeBron would rather have these type of possessions than iso physical bumps, especially when LeBron is still 16th in the league in player usage.

In the first 3 minutes of the game against the Thunder, he already ran 3 pick and rolls, all with good looks, even if the team didn’t always convert

And against the Thunder, he ran 7 pick and rolls creating a lot of open looks, even if the team didn’t always convert. The looks were easy to generate, letting LeBron probe at his own pace in space.

Can we stop saying LeBron at his age is so good every two minutes? Yes he’s the best 38 year old we’ve seen. **I don’t need to be reminded of that every time he makes a play.** He’s also still a top 20 player in the league that the Lakers are relying on and treating him in that regard means using him to the best of his ability. Is he an elder citizen in the NBA, yeah but he ain’t playing like one **so I’ma run with it.**

LeBron finished the game with a season high 40 points and the Lakers got the dub, ending the 4 game losing streak.

Anthony Davis can also thrive more as the roller. LeBron averaged over 3 assists a game to AD in 2020, the most assists to any of LeBron’s teammates in his career.

And look, this success didn’t last too long because the Lakers lost to the Celtics who are probably the best team in the NBA right now. LeBron had 16 points 8 assists on 5 of 14 from the field partly because Jrue Holiday was strong enough to hold his own against Bron.
