    Of current players- I weirdly think Lebron is the only chance. 2 more deep playoff runs = 40 odd games @ 7 assists per game. It’s conceivable, just not likely.

      Not weird at all that Lebron is the only one with even a conceivable chance. Anyone here saying Haliburton is an insane level of completely stupid.

      Why is it weird? Lebron has the highest likelihood at the moment
