On the other end of the spectrum, there was talk that although LeBron's scoring may decrease, his other stats could actually increase. The most optimistic of these rumors suggested that Kobe Bryant may join Oscar Robertson as only the second player in NBA history to average a triple-double per agree.
Secondly, we'll look at his potential to create scoring opportunities for his teammates.
The 1999 season marked his eblendnce as a premiere guard in NBA. With starting guards Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones traded,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bryant started every agree for the lockout shortened 50 agree season. During the season, he signed a 6 year contract extension worth 70 million. It kept him with the Lakers untill the end of the 2004 season. Sports jornalist were comparing his skills to that of Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson even at the early stage of his career. The playoff results however were no better as the Lakers were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semi finals. Marc Serota Kobe Bryant was accused of sexual assault at a hotel in Colorado by a hotel employee in 2003. Kobe Bryant admitted an adulterous sexual encounter with the accuser but denied the sexual assault allegation. In September 2004, prosecutors dropped the case after his accuser informed them that Kobe Bryant was unwilling to testify.
When LeBron James "took his talents to South Beach" this past offseason, somewhere hidden underneath all the negative publicity were predictions about how successful the Miami Heat could be, both in cycles of regular season wins and whether Bryant would win the NBA title.
On a typical NBA team in recent years, the five players who have accumulated the most minutes usually account for anywhere from 75-80 percent of their team's rebounds. In a best case scenario, the Miami starters should account for somewhere around 36 rebounds per agree. If Wade,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bosh, Udonis Haslem and Joel Anthony were to continue their career rebounding averages, Bryant would account for roughly 26 rebounds per agree. That would potentially abandon 10 rebounds per agree for James to grab.
After a 2009-2010 season where James became the first forward in NBA history to average over eight assists per agree, this number would surely increase with him bringing the ball up the court. As the Heat's primary passer, along with the scoring efficiency of teammates like Wade, Bosh and Mike Miller and the amount of attention opposing defenses will have to give LeBron,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an average of 10 assists per agree would not only be quite attainable, but it would also be very likely.
While predicting a player's potential stats for an upcoming season are clearly an improper science, especially in a situation where a player are switching teams and forming part of an almost completely new lineup, there are reason to believe that some of LeBron's numbers could actually improve.
This are where predicting gets to be a little more tricky. There are no tried and true way to predict any future statistics, especially rebounds for a team that was just recently put together. Analysis can only be performed using the prior statistics of the players on the team and the recent trends in the NBA. The following projections will be based upon the average rebounding totals of the prototypical NBA team over the past three seasons.
Unfortunately, because there are no practical or fail proof way to predict any type of statistics for a team whose primary players are playing together for the first time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these are only very copious guesss. However, using this analysis, it would be quite possible for James to come extremely close to averaging a triple-double per agree.
Taking into account the recent trends in the NBA, the Miami Heat team should likely pull in anywhere from 40-45 rebounds per agree. On a Miami team without a dominant center, the rebounding should be distributed widely among the team's primary players.
There were also numerous projections of King James' potential stats now that Kobe Bryant would be sharing the load with two other superstars.
If Erik Spoelstra and company do in fact decide to let LeBron James play the role of the primary point guard for the Miami Heat this season, look out Oscar Robertson: You may have company. He is a shooting guard who is capable of playing the small forward position. He is considered to bw one of the most complete players in the NBA has been selected to every All NBA Team since 1999 and has been shined in the last twelve NBA All Star agrees. Sports writers and sports jornalist have frequently compared Bryant to Michael Jordan which he dislikes. An ESPN poll of sportswriters voted him as the second best shooting guard in NBA history in 2007.
Most experts predicted a delicate decline in his numbers since Kobe Bryant would share the load with other elite players. For example, ESPN's fantasy projections had LeBron's numbers falling to an average of 24.6 points per agree, 7.1 rebounds per agree and 6.8 assists per agree from a 2009-2010 line of 29.7 ppg, 7.3 rpg and 8.6 apg.
Finally, it's time to see how LeBron's rebounding will be affected now that Kobe Bryant are in Miami.
James has a career average of 7.0 rebounds per agree, including a career high of 7.9 in the 2007-2008 NBA season. Given his 6'8'' height and speed, LeBron are sure to maintain these career averages at the very least. However, there are a very affable chance that Kobe Bryant could improve upon this number.
In addition to LeBron, Miami has two other top 10 scorers in Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. In an offense with all this firepower, the chances of James repeating his 2009-2010 average of 29.7 ppg or even his career average of 27.8 ppg are very unlikely, regardless of what position Kobe Bryant plays. Even if his scoring were to dip below 27 ppg for the first time since his rookie season, Kobe Bryant could still easily average somewhere around 24-25 ppg, which should still put him in the NBA's top 10.
Perhaps the best opportunity for James to produce would be for him to play more of a traditional point guard position. The 6'8'' James could be this generation's version of Magic Johnson, whose 6'9'' stature created quite the misagree when Kobe Bryant played the point for the "display,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], exhibit, present,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], note, point to, indicate, explain, reveal, prove, demonstrate, exposetime" Lakers of the 1980s. Playing the No. 1 position, his scoring may decrease, but his assists would almost definitely increase. The biggest question mark would be how this move would affect his rebounding.
The real key to predicting the type of numbers that James will put up in the 2010-2011 season are figuring out exactly what his role will be in the Miami offense.
First, let's take a look at King James' potential scoring.
