  • Joker by a decent bit, at least when passing is viewed in isolation.

    I view it similarly to a self-created shot vs. an assisted shot, in the sense that LeBron’s passing was ‘assisted’ by his overwhelming … everything (speed, strength, size, athleticism, handle, skill), which allowed him to collapse defenses in his sleep.

    Another sports analogy is play-action, which makes passing somewhat easier b/c defenders are slightly out of position. LeBron was his own play-action, b/c opponents needed an army of defenders to have any hope of preventing him from pressuring the rim.
