so wait... you originally said i was cherry-picking.. when that proved to be wrong, you start making up false excuses
kyrie ALSO has a point guard-level time of possession (because he's a pg), and it's higher than lebron's
ultimately, lebron employs a ball-dominant, point guard style, which fools people into thinking he's a better passer than jordan and bird, who averaged nearly the same assists, with less to's.. and their passes were harder, since there was no spacing

Lebron scores like a point guard: that means ON HIS OWN via live dribble, and therefore unassisted by teammates, while using a high time of possession..
This point guard style (low assisted rate, high time of possession) is inherently suboptimal
when it comes from the forward position: it adds a 2nd low-assisted, high time of possession player to the floor IN ADDITION to the existing point guard, which gives teammates less opportunity to assist and less time with the ball than other teams whose forwards have
normal assisted rates and time of possession..
since his teammates have less opportunity to assist and less time with the ball, their assists are
lower alongside lebron.. with teammates getting less assists, the TEAM always ranks low in assists and teamwork, thus necessitating excessive
talent to win (aka team-hopping)
