Why do people think LeBron is a ballhog?

Question

I know he has the ball alot, but he needs too. without him the Cavaliers would be the worst team in the league.

Answer 1

when hes withthe cavs he only hogs the ball when he needs to he averaged over 7 assists last year, i dont think thats hogging ball

Answer 2

I totally agree i mean he gets the ball because he knows what to do with it aqnd he IS NOT the ball hog of the NBA, Kobe Bryant is i mean he is good and all but he will not pass the ball unlike LeBron, because he WILL pass it if he can't make a play or shoot. LeBron is the Cavs primary play-maker and he can make and setup good plays that will help the Cavs win. But their coach.... oh never mind thats another topic. LOL

LEBRON FAN NUMBER 1

Answer 3

only people that suck at basketball call people ballhogs. In the NBA the best player should have the ball and everyone else should play their role.

It's lack if basketball knowledge thats all. Its not little league where everyone should score its the NBA. If the Cavs want to win he needs to have the ball

Answer 4

That's true but he does take a lot of stupid shots. Like his walk up the court and launch a horrible 3 pointer. He just needs better decision making skills. Knowing when to take a 3 pointer and when to dish the ball. Most players can't gaurd him when he is driving to the lane so that should be his main weapon. His jump shot is a little streaky but it can be fixed. And I agree without him averaging 30 pts then the Cavs would win 10-11 games lol. But he doesnt just scorehe rebounds, defeds, and gives out assists. Once he gets a player that can help him out on offense and Defence then he should not be seen as a ball hog anymore.

Answer 5

cuz hes amazing

Answer 6

i know there dumb hes not hes always passing

Answer 7

Ok what I don't understand, how can someone be a ball hog when u average 7 assists per game and 6 for your career.  He is a walking triple double and he shoots over 50% from the field which is very hard for a swingman.  The highest Iverson has ever shot in a season is 46%,

Answer 8

yea he takes like 40 attempts and make like 20 or 19 of them

Answer 9

the cavs offensive system is made that way.  its all centered around lebron creating a lot.  he does have the ball a lot during hte games, but wo else do you want on that team to dominate the ball mroe than lebron? unless they get a real point guard, lebron will always dominate the ball.

Answer 10

He's finished 2nd in the league in field goals attempted for each of the last 4 seasons, and 4th the year before that.

Over the past 5 seasons, since he's been in the league, James has actually taken more shots than any other NBA player., including Kobe. This is, of course, by necessity, just as it is/was with Kobe:

Most FGA, 2004-2008:

1) LeBron James - 8,262

2) Kobe Bryant - 8,122

3) Allen Iverson - 7,634

4) Vince Carter - 7,401

5) Carmelo Anthony  - 7,201

6) Tracy McGrady - 7,024

7) Dirk Nowitzki - 6,974

8) Michael Redd  - 6,641

9) Joe Johnson - 6,501

10) Kevin Garnett - 6,493

Answer 11

Because he shot 5-7 and I shot 4-13.  That's why he's a ballhog!

I need 2 more shots to score more points and he's not giving them to me!

Think Happy Thoughts!

Answer 12

Because he can create his own shot, and doesnt have to depend on anyone else.

Answer 13

Honestly with out him there is no Cavaliers so yeah he should have the ball, who cares what people say.
