    I think it all depends, because he is used more for scoring. It's a big feat, it's only been accomplished by one other player. I think if they get a good player that can shoot consistantly that will take the scoring load off LeBron and improve his assists. Rebounds, well he is in a position where he can get 10+.Next season I dont think he can get it, but the older he gets the better he will get. We'll just have to see

    I think if he really wanted to, he could get one 8/10 times. But he isn't like that. He doesn't care about that. He would rather win a championship and average his 30/7/7 then be a 1st round knockout averaging 35/10/10. Same thing with KG. He's already a guarenteed 20/12/5, just get him the ball a few more times he could get a triple double every single night. But no one is like that.

    I don't think it's possible. I don't think he can average 10 assists in a season but I do think he could average 10 rebounds a game but I doubt he will ever do that either. I think he'll put up Grant Hill like numbers with assists and rebounds.

    I don't think it'll happen. To get those 3 RPG more and 3 APG more is a tough assignment, but if anyone could do it, it's LeBron

    No, I don't think he can get to a triple-double, that's crazy. Ok you know he's gonna get the points but where do you see him as the assist leader of the NBA? That's what he would be if he were to average 10+ assists per game, and the rebounds I think he might be able to do this but I see him staying at around 8.8.

    LeBron gets the ball all the time, so I think it's possible.I mean, he can shoot every shot if he wants to.

    he might be able to do it over a few seasons. like one season he averages 15apg and 5rpg and the next avereages 15rpg and 5apg then he'd do it. thats the only way i think he can do it.

And either way, if you put LeBron on the Bobcats he could average that if he wanted to. Would they make the playoffs? Probably. Would they advance? Probably not.

    It all depends on what his team surrounds him with this upcoming offseason.If they give him good players to work with and a healty Larry Hughes his numbers might possibly go down.If anyone is capable of averaging one, LeBron is definitely the man.

You really think Lebron could average 15 RPG of 15 APG for an entire season? His season highs for those categories this season were 13 and 12.

    Yeah that is way too crazy. He's only be doing that if it was his goal to get 15 RPG/APG, and that would be detrimental to the team.He just has to play and do his best, and if he happens to average a triple double, then good. But if he wants to get one... that's just plain selfish

    IMO its stillt to ealry in his career to tell. I mean yeah 3 more rpg and apg could be a tough assignment but he is still only 21. If he really does play up to his potential i think he can do it. But like i said its still to ealry in his career to tell.

    Times have changed since the Big O, this is very unlikely. Even the Modern day's Mr.Triple Double doesn't even get around 30 Triple-D's a season. (Jason Kidd) So, I could still wait for my answer. Maybe after a couple more years I can come to a final conclusion. but i'll be honest, right now In our time I think there's about 5% of a chance he'll EVER do that.

    no, he won't. It won't happen again. Triple Doubles are just too hard to get nowadays.
