2012/13 LeBron James with the 2023 Miami Heat

[Lebron23]

Can they beat the Denver Nuggets in a best of 7 series??

[FultzNationRISE]

Yes.

12/13 Lebron is basketball perfection.

[SouBeachTalents]

Better question is LeBron with the 1998 Utah Jazz

[Lebron23]

Yes.

12/13 Lebron is basketball perfection.

he should have been the defensive player of the year in 2013. I don't understand why they give the award to Marc Gasol.

It depends if his shooting was on point. The defense that the Spurs doing against LeBron was just sagging off and letting him shoot 1-5 games. It was pretty bad. Denver did the same thing against Lebron this year, but he played better than his 2013 Spurs finals. If LeBron played like he did in 1-5 games 2013 against Denver, we might have a similar result. But with LeBron, at least he could score in the stretches that the Heat were struggling. But this not counting the rules and play style that they now in comparison to 2013.

a washed up LeBron averaged 27.8 ppg, 9.5 rpg, and 10 apg against the nuggets.

Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets! Let's all give them the spotlight they've earned.

a washed up LeBron averaged 27.8 ppg, 9.5 rpg, and 10 apg against the nuggets.

He played better against Denver than he did back in 2013.

He averaged 25/11/7 on 45% against the Spurs. But the first five games, it was pretty bad.

22/11/7 on 44%.

And the first three games he averaged:

17/12/7 on 39%

It was bad for his standard.

But back then it was a different era. Defense and offense. But the Spurs were daring him to shoot and he was missing it. If he plays like that, it may have been nasty. But more than often, he doesn't have that shooting slump. I guess it depends on what rules you are playing with too.

Would have taken them to seven games if they were trailing.

Lebron improved his midrange and 3 points shooting as he becomes older. he is no longer reliant on his God Given Athletic ability.

Lebron improved his midrange and 3 points shooting as he becomes older. he is no longer reliant on his God Given Athletic ability.

He actually shot his best % at the 3pt line in 2013 in the RS. And 12 and 13 were one of his best midrange performances in the RS. Just not in the playoffs. LeBron is more streaky. And the POs weren't one of his bests that year even though he was great in the regular season. It happens. It probably was a mental thing too back then. That's why I said if LeBron was shooting well. If he isn't well, like during the Spurs series, it would've bad.

[Full Court]

Yes.

12/13 Lebron is basketball perfection.

Agreed.
