    I mean he averaged near 9 assists per game this year in the playoffs… if he wants to play another 5 years and decline fully he could absolutely get that

    I want a couple years of 25 minutes per game mid 40s LeBron averaging 16/7/7…

        The crazy part about this comment is the lack of sense put into it. The stats clearly show that even prime Lebron can’t fuck with Magic specifically on assists…
