I guess when you counted those turnover did you look at the usage rate for all the players? Ummm.. let me answer that question for you in a resounding NO. Lebron is a defacto Point Guard for his team even though he is a Small Forward.

Lebrons Usage rate for the entire 2017 Playoffs was 31.7% in which his turnover rate was 13.8%.
Steph Curry's Usage rate for the entire playoffs was 30.0% in which his turnover rate was 13.8%.

So, you have have to look at the whole context. Above example tells us that Curry turned the ball over at a higher rate than lebron all while having a lesser usage rate. Durant turned the ball over 10.8% with 28.3 usage rate. I can give you a lot of examples like these.

If you handling the ball and running the offense then you are bound to have turnovers. Jose Calderon is one of the best at having a very low turnover ratio with decent usage% but you dont tell him to run a team if you have Lebron on your team.
