Somehow, at almost 39 years old and in year 21, LeBron is currently averaging a career high in FG%, eFG%, and FG% at the rim. (alien.top)

Absolutely ridiculous efficiency by LeBron so far from everywhere on the court. Even at his age, he’s scoring at the rim at unprecedented efficiency, and he’s shooting more of his shots at the rim than he has since his first season in LA (on 9.5% better shooting). I know it’s been talked about ad nauseam, but this man simply does not age.

That should tell you all you need to know about the NBA.

Does anyone, even the kids, think LeBron is a more effecient scorer than he was 5-12 years ago?

Every year the NBA moves more forward with catering to the offensive player and the spacing makes it even easier

You know what they say about Peak MJ and Bird putting up numbers today... You can say the same about peak LeBron.

Peak LeBron probably does something like 27/8/10 with effeciency a bit lower than Jokic, but still at an all time high, with elite defense.

5-12 years ago when he drove it he was met in the paint by Duncan, Hibbert, Garnett, Tyson Chandler, Gasol, prime Dwight and the list goes on

Now when he drives it he's met in the paint by a sloppy fat boy (as a dearest nuggets fan) and a flopping cameroonian

Now do free throw attempt averages. If he was getting the Embiid, Harden, Butler whistle he would have a crazy high ppg.

It’s been 21 years and you MFs are still surprised?
