Current Lebrons stats are better but 2013 Lebron would actually be so insane with the increased pace

People don’t realize how much better he was in 13. I abhor boxscore nerds.

He was way better at 28

Bron is interesting because even tho he’s gradually lost athleticism, his basketball IQ has replaced whatever he lost
Family-man24
He won a lot more when he averages less

38 YO dude should not be getting this amount of minutes

Obviously stats are great. But young Lebron would demolish this league, easily would be clear favorites to win it all with this team.

Shooting 57% is crazy

The league is different today. Wayyyy easier to score.
Look at Kobe’s scoring averages for most of his career. He was hovering around 26 PPG. Now guys like Trae Young, Randle, etc., average 26 PPG like it’s nothing. Kobe would be averaging 35 PPG routinely in today’s game.
Dropping 30 back then when teams were only scoring 90 points per game meant you accounted for 33% of the points scored. Nowadays, you have teams averaging 120 PPG so 30 would only represent 25% of the points scored. That doesn’t even account for the three point explosion which means you have players being wide open or getting better looks because no longer can you just play zone defense. Now, even your center has to start guarding the three point line.
People look at Giannis as a freakish monster. I agree, he is. But the league is thankful 2008-2014 LeBron didn’t exist today. No one was more athletic and better at getting to the paint. He would be a 35-10-10 player on like 55%, tbh.
It’s just an example of how misleading comparing data is. 2014 LeBron with THIS roster? Mannnn, IDC if Russ is still on the team. LeBron is carrying this roster to at least 50 wins.

I haven’t gone a day in my life without seeing a comparison of Brons stats 10 years apart

Gotta take into consideration 2013 LBJ played almost an entire season averaging this. 2023 Bron played almost 30% less games this year.

2018 LeBron was the goat in my opinion

That lebron is a top 2 defender and can play 48 minutes. Not even close lol

Are people really dumb enough to compare just raw stats? Watch a clip of lebron in miami. It’s a radically different player in terms of energy he plays with and defense.

Offensively he’s still got it, but 2013 LeBron was also playing DPOY-level defense.

2013 actually played defense at a high level tho which is a huge difference
JaxonStormBorn
2013 Lebron would absolutely dominate today’s game
Totknax
The telling stat would be games missed due to injury.
Sadly father time will always be undefeated.
Let’s savor his remaining productive/elite years!

Id take 57% over 51% any day

Just the perfect storm of world class body treatments maintenance and upkeep, crazy genetics and probably a lot of luck avoiding injury.
