You dont have to shrug off Stephs offense. LeBrons in his peak season still matches it

one is a 260lb barbarian just barreling his way to the rim in a no touch league, another is a skilled marksman jacking up 30 footers routinely

About 3 more minutes per game. Anyway, I like how you assume Steph would go up in everything while playing more minutes. Efficiency usually suffers while doing this

It's just basic math: 3>2

So I take it you weren't a big fan of Shaq when he was in his prime?

he played like 300 more minutes than steph did each year between 2008-2010. That's a decent amount

except steph curry literally shoots 35 footers as well as some players shoot at the rim. I have absolute confidence that he would keep his efficiency up

scoring 3 at a time is 50% greater than scoring 2 at a time

When looking at total points per game, why does it matter?

I disagree. There is a reason they are careful with Stephs minutes.

efficiency. You have to make 50% more shots when scoring 2 points at a time vs 3 points at a time.

plus 3 pointers make the court roomier on offense for your teammates to also score points

Scoring inside makes it roomier for your teammates on the perimeter...

And LeBron has been saving up energy to do it again this year and I think he gets it done.

you're right. It was last year as well. He hasn't dealt with ankle problems in over 3 years. They are not careful with his minutes right now
