The NBA Should Make Screen Assists a Box Score Stat | LeBron James & JJ Redick 

Somebody get JJ a damn tablet😂😂

I agree, I think the box score layout needs to be revamped because the NBA in the last 10 years has gone towards analytics and it often does a better job at painting the right picture of what's impacting the actual game.

Screen Assist (+Teammate Chemistry)

Interesting thought on screen assists! Would help casuals view players in more positive light if it was stat. I looked up leaders and Kings dominate this category. Sabonis leads league in screen assists per game & his backup Len leads in league in screen assists per 48 min (min 100 minutes)

“ how far did that get the hawks “ …. SAVAGE 😂

JJ just described the entire Mavs offense lol, blitzs luka, make extra pass to the slot( gafford) or swing it to the corner, or Gafford takes 1 dribbles and dunks or he draws in the other defender for a free kick out 3..

I just realized he knows darvin ham and the lakers are watching this and he is basically telling them what to run and what works .. this dude lebron is a genius

Counting screen assists as a stat would help explain why Kwame Brown had a 14 year NBA career

Aye yo…it just hit me why this podcast is great, it really is an interesting and intelligent conversation about the game of BASKETBALL…no bullshit narratives, no emotions, no stupid adds, no dumb graphics and meaningless stats…we’re literally listening to the 🐐just chopping it up about basketball 🫡🫡🫡

I’ll admit I’m a casual box score watcher

I Respect the fact Bron talks about the Lakers plays as well and just not out here putting every other team on blast.

“Why didn’t you score a touchdown Jason?!?” Lmaoo

i was not one of them ones is a crazy thing to say 😭 jj was tuff in college tho

I was really saying this in HS cuz my job was to screen off ball and on ball and I was “responsible” for legit like 15 points one game just cuz of how our offense was set up. But I never shot or handled the ball so I looked useless 😂

This podcast is too good😭

Blocked shots and steals were not counted as official stats in the NBA until the 1974-74 season, so I am all for screen assists being added to the list. Gobert and Green have other ways to shine, but the value of guys like Luke Kornet, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Clint Capela, Steven Adams, et al., would be greatly enhanced both in the eyes of fans and GMs if that stat were made official.

I 100% agree with this

i think they should because those things are super valuable when it comes to winning and creating scores and they don’t get representation when discussing how good a player is for their teams success

Totally agree

these days every single stat should be recorded ... this will for sure compliment the current box scores and stats ... also gauge skills and value on the open market.

Screen assists, shots contested and true shooting % replacing field goal % need to be made mainstream.

Its really crazy that they don't track the Hockey Assist especially now with how everyone plays the 3pt line.

These two would have put on together

I love this straight nerdy basketball talk

Lebron James is really good @ passing & that gets overlooked somehow?

Add deflections too.

Screener MVPs David West Steven Adams Tyson Chandler

Assists sould be counted when fouls are called in the act of shooting or and one.

screens and hockey passes need to be added for sure

I also think that charges should count as steals. They serve the same purpose of changing possession.

Add successfull Pick and Roll count

I think the NBA could do something similar as to hockey. There's so much more going on in thevgame and the current stats

Can we track ILLEGAL SCREEN assists? Moving picks are real, and too frequent.

Fellas time is running out we will miss the King on the court😢

This exactly how I be arguing with people on 2k when they just look at the box score. Screen assist and the pass to assist mos definitely need to be in the box scores. That would shut up a lot of people on determining who good or not.

Honestly, if this helps very small role players feel like they contributed something out of the traditional box score, just put it on. But put it waaaaay in the back of the box score.

For sure

What they could do is either make it it's own stat or like if you get 2 screen assists =1 assist.

JJ needs to get one of those touch screens CNN be using. That clipboard ain’t it in 2024

They also need a moving screen assist stat for the warriors

Been saying this since 08

Gortat would be on top of leaderboard few years back

Parley builders don’t make it no better lol😂

Mr. Silver take notes 👀

Jokic already destroying the stats... you add screen assists and hockey assists.....

If screen assists were a box score stat, we'd need to rewrite a significant amount of triple double records

Then who gets for a double screen? What about an off ball pin down screen that leads to a 3?

90's lovers ain't got idea on how complexed basketball has became as opposed to one on one basketball even kobe got a taste of golden state at the end of his career and could only admire steph's ability to shoot on a poket 😊

4:02 JJ had game. The only reason Book said he not“one uh dem ones” is he fully enunciates it😂😂

MY LEGLORIOUS KING 😍😍😍

Lebron and JJ need to coach a team. That would be box office

Question ... What does a jj-bron situation look like.. How do yall imagine what it look like if yall played together

Like there are players who do a ‘sacrificial’ run, drawing their defender away, thus creating space for a play.

I think they should, in soccer they have something like that pretty sure it’s called key passes.

Zach Lowe fuming right now

If the NBA adds stat categories, this will influence people to watch the less and less. People already don't watch games enough.

The only way for Draymond to avoid his usual triple single🤣🤣🤣

More stat pads🤣😂😂

Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Lebron.. honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the paint and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth touch around the rim, and that gorgeous jumpshot. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the court, you're a great husband and father, sometimes I even call you dad. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my ownlife it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left clevenland and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your first ring in miami, because deep down,my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home and I rejoiced. 2015 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2016 you made history happen. You came back from 3-1 and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king exclaim these words, "CLEVELAND, THIS IS FOR YOU!" Not only have you changed the game of basketball and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Lebron James.

I love this podcast. It confuses all the casuals who think they know ball

Hockey assists too

I think jj wasn’t to be clear on this

It is on 2K🤷🏿‍♂️😅

Let’s be clear.. Lebron is 39,000 years old, scored 40,000 pts Still cooking dudes scoring 25 a game at 50%fg And you mean to tell me that while he’s still competing he’s sitting around giving away his tendencies and reads on the court and there’s nothing these players or coaches can do to stop him? Wow 🐐 🤴🏾

Easy double double every night

Btw this is why jokic always has ridiculous advanced stats. He already is among league leaders in assists and he probably has at least 4 or 5 screen assists every game.

What are we doing???? Whats next make a hockey assists next?

Boxscore can equal contract dollars, guys wanna get paid da most ... U put the right team stats in the stat sheet narratives change how guys preform

❤❤

The nba should let you get a assist if you pass somebody the ball and they get fouled and make both free throws

Big men would start getting triple doubles easy. I’m all for it 😂

You are my sunshine🌝

This series confirm what everyone suspected for a long time.. Lebron is very analytical about the game.. just overthinks at times.. When you are so much better than others he could have just dominated more if he didnt overthink.

true but too easy

An episode with bron and mike we NEED IT!!

Were JJ and Lebron friends before this?

I wonder how Darvin Ham's basketball IQ measures up to Lebron's.

I do wish jj played one season with bron smh he would have been curry before 16

Good contest & bad contest

Lets just stat the stat the stat.. gamblers need more.

Bron knows basketball, obviously. But he can't articulate it probably.

also, add illegal screen and a flop

Letsss gooo

LeStatistics

Lol don't foul Just try (since all star break, free throws are dramatically down due to a shift in officiating favoring the defense)

Here's an idea, do away with ALL stats, and just play the game as hard and well as you can competing and trying to win! Stats are garbage and are for nerds that are too lazy to watch and appreciate the intangibles.

No they shouldn’t 😂😂😂

Lebron done lapped MJ in the GOAT convo. James gives back, all MJ wanted to do was to take, get filthy rich and taunt his enemies. 😒

Lebron got 2 phones? One for the plug and one for the load ?

Next video, Why Nut Shots and Trips Should Be a Box Score Stat?

Please stop with the be clear line

Nba2k pass to assist

No

Bro no 😂

This show displays a real human side to Lebron. As well as displays JJs and his own brilliance and passion. Absolutely all for it, rhetorical basketball world will benefit greatly from this.

Can someone tell lebron to stop saying “yep” all the time lmao

They should make illegal screens a stat too, huh Warriors fans

Two clowns, promoting alcohol & explaining how the Circus works

Screen assist should not be a box score stat... participation type shyt

Screen assists and hockey assists should both be on all basketball stats websites (basketball reference, ESPN, etc.)
