Play Lebron Down Low

It's not like Lebron is the only star player that gets to the line a lot.

 

I thought he already took over coaching and GM-ing in Cleveland. :grin:

 

I remember someone posting some stats on LeBron in the post and I think percentage wise he was the most successful when posting up.

Problem is he doesn't do it enough.

This was posted Jan.26 though

 

Most of Lebron's post ups result in him turning to face up the defender. I think what people are saying is he has no back-to-basket moves. IE hook shot, up-and-under, etc.

 

If he's getting the job done while doing it in the post does it matter how he does it?

 

to me kobe improved his game every year he was in the league. Offense or defense, I have seen the same lebron for the past 5 years now.

 

Fact's don't mean much around these parts of town.

 

I agree, I'm just saying I think this is the point some people are trying to make saying he has no post game, almost none of his post moves are traditional "back-to-basket" post moves.

 

I'd love to see Scola fake out Lebron on a scoop shot.

 

He is no Magic Johnson who took over the center position to score 40pts and close out the 76rs when Kareem had a migraine.

He is what he is. No Magic.

He is a super big wing player. But, what is so wrong with that. Criticizing him for what he isn't, when he is so much, is a wee bit petty.

 

I agree.. Why does he need to play PF when he clearly isnt a PF..The guy is one of the all-time greats at what he does.. We wouldnt ask a Karl Malone to become a 3 pt threat to solve their offensive woes..People saying he's no MJ or Magic are correct...He isnt!!!...Im sure Magic would've love to have some of his athletic ability..Im sure MJ would have loved to have his strength..So folks stop being hataz..If he were in a Rockets uni, we wouldnt be havin these Anti-Lebron threads

 

Lebron has no post game, he has no go to offensive move. He has no offensive moves.

 

hard to believe a 2time MVP has no offensive game ...great observation Dan Gilbert

 

You haven't been watching closely then. I think it was only about three seasons ago that Lebron really started dedicating himself to defense and he's become one of the top perimeter defenders in the game.

 

Kareem missed that game with a severe ankle sprain, not a migraine.

 

Lebron has a pool post game, and a poor jump shot.

and yes again, his athleticism is far more impressive than his basketball skills.

 

poor*

 

but he will never have a Kobe jump shot.

 

Anybody know where DD is? I swear I haven't seen him post in ages.
