LeBron has traditionally been asked to do a lot for his teams.
Primary scorer.
Primary ball handler.
In some cases, he needed to be the best or second best rebounder as well.
However, imagine a scenario where LeBron is on a team with a couple of A+ ball handers and scorers, and the team needed somebody to play in the post and grab rebounds.
Assuming that LeBron doesn’t have to handle the ball much and that he is a 3rd or 4th scoring option, would he be able to lead the league in rebounding were that the primary purpose of his contribution on the floor?
I ask because he is one of few players to lead the league in scoring one year and assists in another and this would indeed would give him a unique distinction.
If he just focused on ONLY that, like Rodman? Of course
Lebron could be a fantastic rebounder if he focused on it, but rebounding is a dirty game and you’ve got to scrap to be elite, and that’s not him.
Yea, Bron is such a dainty player…not strong, nor physical in any regard on the floor
