"Wait till Lebron gets older and loses his athleticism" can we discuss this dumb logic?

[Billy_Poncho]

How bout he's not jumping as high because he went from 240 to 265? Dude transformed his body to become stronger in the paint and absorb contact. Jordan and Pippen did the same shit when the Pistons were bullyin em.

There where always basic ass dunks, wtf are yall talking about didnt he catch a oop over a grownass man last year

i think people cant wait for lebron to decline for some reason, dunno why this thread was even made, he still shits on any current nba player, the most gifted player the nba has ever seen

exactly there waiting for him to fall us but he hasn't reached his peak yet and we wont see that for another 3-4 years

Everyone loses athleticism. How you adjust will determine if you're a good player, a great player, or a GOAT level player. You can argue that GOATs like Kobe and Jordan became better players when their athleticism started to wither away. I don't see that happening with Lebron.

He's already better than Kobe's ever been.

Hell yeah I seen that nigga have a 82 point game shit was crazy!!!

And? That supposed to impress anybody? Try the first to 20,000 points a year younger than Kobe and in far fewer games. Infact Kobe has taken longer than anybody to reach 20,000 points.

But what does that mean though? It's not like everyone comes into the league at the same age with the same situations. Kobe came into the league with a Prime Shaq on his team who was the #1 option. Lebron came into the league where he had to be #1 option right away, which would mean he got to score more early on. Kobe virtually rode the bench his first 2 years. 20K is impressive idc who does it. I'm starting to agree with Van Gundy. It's a nice stat but what does it really mean.

by this logic Gilbert arenas is better than lebron because he scored more points in a game then lebron ever has

"50. Worst player in NBA history to score 50 or more? C'mon now, that's a little harsh, don't you think? For such a memorable accomplishment? Let's just agree that a few of the guys with the hottest of hands were a little, er, unexpected. Like Tony Delk, Willie Burton and Tracy Murray. But arguably the least likely player in NBA history to score 50 points or more was Walt Wesley, a skinny, big-haired 6-foot-11 journeyman center who was the property of eight teams across 10 NBA seasons.

On a glorious night for the expansion Cavaliers, Feb. 19, 1971, Wesley scored 50 points in a 125-109 victory over Cincinnati. Two days later, Wesley had 30 points and 21 rebounds against Portland. That season, Wesley averaged 17.7 points. Over the other 508 games he played, his scoring average was 6.9."

Shit brandon jennings dropped 50

 

[af.r.i.c.a.]

when he gets to be 33-34 he needs to make the full time move to PG

 

[almighty breeze]

fuck all the weight and jumping ability talk

why are we ignoring LeBrons ball iq...is that hidden in the word "althleticsm" & i cant decode it

is LeBron gettin dumber? should we call some psychiatrists? is he making bad decisions on the court & with the ball and the tapes are just being hidden? is Basketball iq & know how not important for Basketball players?

Lebanon Jaymes gon be jus fine yuherd...

 

[Cutler 26 INT's LOL!]

Lebron has a part time jumper which has improved over the last couple of years though.

Snapple fact lebron was 13-13 inside of five feet last night.

4-12 everywhere else.

Oh and peep the finals stats.

oh and be mindful of the shooters on deck and the general space he has.

In before the flames

Oh and every player loses athleticism and has to adjust.. that logical.

Seacrest out.

He had a bad shooting night last night on a back to back . but shooting 41% from 3 pt is nice and he's jump shot overall has improved.

Too bad his post game is still laughable for a guy 6"8 265.

 

[DR. JEK]

Just in case yall don't know. LBJ can't jump like he use to but the size and ability to use that size to get where he wants on court ain't going nowhere.

Yea I've noticed that.. Lbj's dunks aren't that powerful and amazing as they used to be when he was on the cavs, they're jus basic tomahawk dunks now... i can't remember the last time lbj yamed on someone nasty in a heat uniform like used to with the cavs

1. his dunks seem to be just as good to me as theyve always been. im not seeing a fall off at all yet.

2. pretty much every dunk he's ever done was basic tomahawks, lol. he's always been more of a power dunker. thats why he dont do the dunk contests

I don't think that's the reason he don't do the dunk contest. I think he'd just be too embarassed to lose in one but guys before him like jordan and kobe won a dunk contest before. So when he gets 65 years old playing checkers at the barbershop he'll aways be able to say to niggas

"I coulda won a dunk contest the year I said I was gonna be in it and changed my mind. I desided to let Blake Griffin and them young boys cook tho"

Dawg he's a fucking point guard look at his highlight tape from high school he plays the same way pretty much way would that change because he put weight on .

Stop talking out your ass playmaker!

What's that his hair line

 

[CoolJoe]

Everyone loses athleticism. How you adjust will determine if you're a good player, a great player, or a GOAT level player. You can argue that GOATs like Kobe and Jordan became better players when their athleticism started to wither away. I don't see that happening with Lebron.

Why don't you see that happening?

Just because you don't want to see it doesn't mean it won't happen.

It's already being addressed.

Niggas acting like Lebron is NBA Jams out here, when do you ever see this nigga dunk beside fastbreaks. Most of this niggas shots come off post up and mid range jumpers, wtf does that have to do with athleticism.

i dont think its that deep. he just not a creative dunker and he knows it
