And, rightfully so, she contacted Incarcerated Bob to let the world know what she saw while working at this alleged "PED's" clinic.

Yes, because if I had evidence of the biggest basketball steriod scandal ever, the first person I would call is Incarcerated Bob

This has been all over Facebook and Twitter, apparently from ESPN insider:

Via Tom Haberstroh: "In his 10 worst games this season, LeBron averaged 19.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 5.2 assists. LeBron James on a bad day is basically Scottie Pippen on a good one."

Re: The LeBron James Thread

And I bet in 7 of those games his stats were low because the Heat were winning big and he chilled. He's been on 'do what I want status', just waiting for the playoffs.

I think LBJ will drop at least 50 in a playoff game this year and not because he has too, just because he can.

[ojandpizza]

I agree. He's been crazy good this year. I don't have an insider account so I didn't get to read that entire article. I'm sure it was a good read...

When you consider everything he's accomplished this season, on top of the win streak, his ridiculous hot shooting stretch, and then how great his "bad" games were its tough to remember back to a season in recent years where one individual player has been this good.

He's reached that point where he has that Jordan-esque quality where his bad games are still better than pretty much anybody else's good games.

I see him as a lock for getting his 4th MVP this season and I really hope he gets a 5th or 6th to be up there with guys like MJ and Kareem.

Player Efficiency Rating of ALL-TIME in a single season:

1. LeBron James (2012-2013) - 32.2
2. Wilt Chamberlain (1962-1963) - 31.8
3. Wilt Chamberlain (1961-1962) - 31.7
4. LeBron James (2008-2009) - 31.7
5. Michael Jordan (1987-1988) - 31.7

LeBron literally just had the best season in NBA history. Amazing!

Oh you Americans and your stats and PER and whatnot.

Not the most impressive season by a player that I've seen with my own eyes, I can tell you that much.

Statistically, it is the best or at least one of them, but what's your personal best?

how do i say this... think that we might want the season to end in a championship b4 we go out on a limb and say someone had the best season ever; statistically or otherwise.

anyone else find it ironic that the "supposedly" top 5 best seasons based on PER resulted in 0 championships. (lebron 2012-2013 - tbd)

how can any season can be classified as the best in the nba history if that season didnt culminate in a ring?

i really hope that 1day we get back to a point where stats arent used to determine everything. yet with things like ESPN and PER, i fear we have already opened a door that can never be closed.

Championships are a team effort, not an individual. LeBron as a player had the most efficient season in NBA history..

Why do people try and discredit everything he does? I don't get it. We can all pretty much agree that Wilt's 50 PPG 25 RPG season of 1962 was jaw dropping, and as far as numbers go, LeBron did better..

i guess ppl just view things differently.

as an athlete, i think like an athlete(im sure your an athlete as well). so to me, and i bet lebron would agree, whichever superstar ends the season on the podium holding the trophy had the best season. then throw in stats and awards on top of that and you got a legitament case for greatest single season ever.

i was brought up to believe that he who can call himself champion that yr, had the best season. i guess not everyone sees it that way.

also, its discredit now to ask that we see if the season ends in a championship b4 we lable it the greatest single season ever?

Re: The LeBron James Thread

One of the most efficient seasons ever yes but it's a stretch I think to call it the best ever.

I'm hoping we see another monster playoff run from LeBron. Watching a one in a generation talent almost seemingly put together his identity is something to behold.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying LeBron didn't have a beast of a season, it's simply a case of me being a bit like Clint Eastwood in the movie "Trouble with the curve".

The best I've seen? Probably MJ in 95/96. Simply because he treated every single game with the same importance, playing at 100% intensity as if it were game 7. He never took a night out.

Spoiler

I'd take any one of Jordan's season's from 88-93 over Lebron's current season right now. What we watch today is a watered down version of what the NBA used to be. The game used to be hard nosed and very physical not to mention the talent was better. Lebron whined how the Bulls were so "physical" while playing him. I can only imagine what he would have done if he had to play the Pistons back in the day. I don't care what this .PER states Lebron's season this year is not topping any of Jordan's seasons from back in his heyday.

Yeah this league is just a bunch of babies.. Maybe they should be pillow fighting instead of playing basketball.
