Advanced Statistics Proving LeBron and Anthony to Be Historically Dominant

LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers are playing really well this season. They have a 24-3 record of the regular season and win games on the road and at home. LeBron is healthy, and he had plenty of time to get ready for the season. The Lakers were finally able to regain control of the game. Everything points to the fact that the Lakers can play much better than that. Danny Green said that his team is about to unlock their full potential, and we know what that means.

Neil Paine of FiveThirtyEight.com explains that LeBron and Davis are as awesome as some of the league’s most legendary duos, referring to Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

LeBron and Davis are in the top 10 wins above replacement, and this makes the Lakers the only team with two players of this kind.

FiveThirtyEight’s RAPTOR player ratings make these two look even better.

The Lakers are the 15h team since 1876 to have two players with a RAPTOR rating of plus-5.5 and above.

The on-court net rating says pretty much everything you need to know about the Lakers. The team outscores opponents by 12.2 points per 100 possessions when LeBron and Davis are on the court together.

If LeBron’s team wins a title this season, the duo will be lauded on the level of the other duos in the NBA’s history.

Things develop in the right direction for the Lakers. LeBron had a terrible debut with the team, and his injury sealed their destiny. But, things changed a lot recently, and LeBron is ready to show everyone that he came to Los Angeles to win a title.

King James scores triple-doubles, and that only proves that he is in the primetime of his professional career. He’s got so much to offer, and the best is yet to come. How will the Lakers finish this season? We can only wait and find out. LeBron and Davis are going after that title, and they won’t back down for anything in this world.
