And in all those clips of Jordan doing GOAT plays off-ball, you see how two-foot leaping is needed to finish those plays, another thing Lebron doesn't do.
Lebron is so baller he only needs one foot to do what Jordan does with two

No, it really isn't anything about that. The OP:

You honestly deserve a ban at this point.

I'm trying to figure out what this thread had to do with Michael Jordan before you brought him into it. If you can, please show me with clarity how we got to this point. If not, please stop derailing threads.
Thanks.

Hes not as explosive vertically, but hes more explosive horizontally.. he can bully guys off him down low better than jordan could

Official warning. Stop trolling/derailing. The thread has nothing to do with Jordan. Move along. Thanks.

Yes, the only reason Lebron is trying to play off ball is because he's chasing Jordan, trying to be like Mike.
Not at all because of the way his team is constructed, playing to the strength of his teammates or anything, or adapting to getting older like every great before him did.
It's all about Jordan.

Not always... but in this thread - where the thread is about a guy that's now planning on playing off-ball who stared at the off-ball GOAT during the Bobcats game before getting his a** handed to him in historical fashion - it's relevant to bring up how Lebron's off-ball game compares to Jordan's... and in doing so, it obviously makes sense to point out that it doesn't...

There's absolutely no connection. Move along.

adapting to his teammates?... you have to admit, you bs'd there a bit..
adapting to his teammates is not something Lebron has historially done, so this would be a first.
historically, Lebron's teammates adjust to HIM, even if it means big men must turn into floor-spreaders.
also, playing off-ball is simply optimal anytime he plays with other guys that are capable of playmaking - he doesn't need any other reason to play off-ball... he should have learned to dominate off-ball in Miami, and he'd probably still be there.... which brings up another point, Lebron has never dominated off-ball before - that will be a first too, assuming he TRIES to dominate (that has also been a problem historically).

Dude stop. You just got an official warning, this thread isnt about jordan.
Tried re railing the thread with this.
The key to cavs success this year will hinge on how much lebron is willing to sacrifice in order to win.
Irving needs the ball to be most effective, so if lebron can play more off the ball, look out.
