Despite the poor performance of the finals last season, but LeBron – James is still the league’s most complete player today, receive more attention. 2011-2012 season, he will be kind of performance?

Data in the forecasting system SCHOENE professional help, LeBron next season, averaging 27.8 points and 7.5 data will be 7.1 assists and rebounds. And last season’s 26.7 points and 7.5 rebounds and seven assists par. But in the third shot, the system is forecast to reach 35.9% LeBron, and its previous career high was 34.4%. LeBron this age of players, it is a long shot when the grinding capability. In fact, this year’s playoffs, he’s long shot hit rate reached 35.3%.

In Udonis – Haslem and Mike – Miller back to health after LeBron as the power forward will reduce the time, the opportunity to increase guest point guard, so the decline in rebounds, assists and increase reasonable.

Provided they are not major injuries, to be sure, LeBron’s career will break many records. He has reached 17,362 career points total scored in the 26-year-old age only – Carmelo Anthony – Kobe Bryant and Michael – Michael Jordan scored more than 14,000 career points.

LeBron last season’s league top ranking PER efficiency value. It is worth mentioning that the value of the WARP (used to measure the players win their place on the team bench, the contribution made the difference), he is also a substantial lead. LeBron career WARP is now 167.6, leading the same age period – Michael Jordan (126.2), Shaquille O’Neal – (122.1).

If the impact of the new season are shut down, forced to cancel, then just from the data perspective, has little effect on LeBron, not even 1 point next season, he is also the history of the score up to 27-year-old player. However, the influence from the historical perspective, especially to see a breakthrough title, LeBron will inevitably be a great shock to cancel the season. Although he himself is at the peak of his career, can heat the other players is not the case, which means that as time goes by, the Heat’s championship hopes will become increasingly slim. In particular, the implementation of the new labor agreement, once a hard salary cap, the Heat is undoubtedly suffer the greatest.

LeBron order among the ranks of the greatest players, the data is only bright enough, he had to win the championship, every opportunity is very critical.
