The shot blocking skills of Dwade and Lebron james
These dudes seem to get alot of blks from the Sg/Sf spot and watching Lebron James swating these shots away so far in the Olympics makes me remember that for a good part of last season, he was getting like 2 blks per game. Wade is like a young Jordan the way he sneaks up on dudes to get blks. Wade has already had 2 seasons where he avg atleast 1 blk.

LeBron is a freak of nature..He can play any position on the court :bowdown:

He sure as hell can't play center and PFs with good strength would stop him going anywhere.
I think it's just that Wade and LeBron are so athletic, and of course, the other team usually isn't. . But it does make me wonder about those type of shot blockers who are insanely athletic and those shot blockers who just have incredible timing like Mutombo.
Re: The shot blocking skills of Dwade and Lebron james
^^ Wade and James get those insane blks even against NBA athletes.
Re: The shot blocking skills of Dwade and Lebron james
better than average timing and antiicipation
Re: The shot blocking skills of Dwade and Lebron james
Wade actually hasn't had a lot of shot blocks in the Olympics, which is one of the last things I am looking for to see if he is truly BACK. Because when he's fully healthy, he's the probably the best shot-blocking guard since Mike.
Histrorically, he's been a better shot blocker than LeBron even with a four inch height disadvantage. LeBron has been shot blocking like a monster in the Olympics, though.
However, both Wade and LeBron at times go to help for blocks when they shouldn't and leave their own men open for shots when the player passes instead of shoots and they are then out of position.
Re: The shot blocking skills of Dwade and Lebron james
^^ i agree with that but wade and lebron are so quick that they can get back and defend that player again, it has happened before.
lebron only recently has realised his athleticism and gone for block properly, he's excellent at pinning the ball, and has become a really good defender.

James can play 5 positions in FIBA rules and style.

LeBron James is one of the strongest players in the NBA. If anything is going to limit him from playing PF and C it is his height and his terrible post game.

Re: The shot blocking skills of Dwade and Lebron james
A lot of these are help defense/blind side blocks...kind of like jumping passing lanes or sneaking up for steals...I would like to see them take a page out of Kobe's book and go up and challenge players that are trying to dunk, b/c they definitely have the athleticism.
