The better passer would probably average more assists and have a lower turnover rate, right? Turnover rates are basically equal but LeBron ast% is almost 50% better than Birds. And LeBron plays point forward because he is such a good passer.You posted great numbers. I was trying to put them in some kind of context. A guy who plays point guard much of the time should have way more assists. He doesn't.
I didn't say Bird had more assists or averaged more. I said that if Lebron was the way better passer, the numbers should reflect that he is far and away better. They don't. Having watched both of them, to me, Bird was the far better play maker.
I am not unbiased so it's just my opinion, obviously
