However, former three-time All-Star Gilbert Arenas sees things slightly differently regarding how LeBron James operates. He said: “LeBron is probably the only player, the only superstar, that never had that year. He never had that year where he says, ‘Forget everybody, I’m trying to get my stats.’ Because, I said, if he ever did that, who’s stopping him? Maybe that man would average 40 something. “I said, he’s never had like what Kobe had that year when he got rid of Shaq.” James has received a share of criticism for chasing statistics. The LA Lakers struggled to find wins, despite James exploding regularly. James wears multiple hats on the basketball floor, given his frame and basketball IQ.

However, James has had a say in the players he wants around him. NBA@NBANo-look dimes, over the head passes and so much more...
