Why has LeBron's game regressed as he aged unlike MJ?

[fourkicks44]

OP is wrong as always



LeBron has played 45,000 minutes



Jordan only reached 45,000 minutes with the Wizards



Why don't you compare current LeBron to wizards Jordan

Cause he was nearly 40?

[ClipperRevival]

Greatest football player ever that wasn't.

Would've been the GOAT TE.

[Dray n Klay]

To me, this just proves LeBron never TRULY mastered the fundamentals as a kid. MJ's 3 years in North Carolina helped him tremendously because he was taught the basics of the game. And that mastery of the fundamentals helped him get more polished as he aged.

Not trying to hate but this dude is NOT the 3rd best player ever. Not when you haven't mastered some of the basics of the game.

WTF? You want me to compare a 40 year old to a 31 year old? Are you THIS delusional?

The minutes play a huge role in terms of athleticism and conditioning decline, but it doesn't explain why his overall skills have regressed.

Seriously, Kobe at this stage of his career was on the downside athletically, but his basketball skills had never been better. Bron's skills shouldn't have regressed this much this fast, especially given the improvements he made in Miami.

Going to Miami was the worst thing to happen to his individual game IMO. Run and gun all day on a stacked dunking at the hoop.

Run and gun? Miami was a ridiculously slow paced team from 11-14. With an average rank of 21 during those 4 years. Most of LeBron's damage was coming in the half-court. Miami as a team themselves wwew a terrific half-court team, leading the league in half-court efficiency for the majority of those 4 years. The big difference between Heat LeBron and the current version is, of course, LeBron was a very good shooter for 3 of his 4 seasons in Miami. He has been an awful shooter the last 2 seasons.

Same minutes



And even if you do it by age 31 year old LeBron > 31 year old MJ


Either way LeBron is better

Why has lebrons game regressed as he aged unlike MJ?

because he cant shoot for shit .. ?

it is a major hindrance on the teams spacing and his hesitance especially against iggy, always requesting screens and such to get off him has shown the FEAR in his heart. He is walkin into the ring with Mike Tyson staring him down and crumbling son.

[FashionIssues]

he can control tempo alone by bringing vintage basket going lebron. foul foul foul.

[fourkicks44]

I would still take old ass Wizards MJ in the Finals over 31 year old Lebron.

MJ age 31 averaged 32/7/5 on 48% shooting in the Playoffs after being out of the NBA for almost 2 full seasons

[gilalizard]

no skill, no first step, no jump shot, no post up moves

strong stiff arm tho, could been a good running back in the NFL

He's strong and fast and hacks away on defense like an axe murderer (without getting called for it of course). He might of made a good pass rusher too.

MJ was retired and playing baseball at 31.

Is Lebron going to retire, come back and win 3 rings?

[Ramiah]

Lebron doesn't have a jump shot...At all.

His post game is also dead.

He 100% relies on athleticism at 31...Dude is fvcked career wise.

Why don't you compare current LeBron to wizards Jordan

Jordan (age 39-40)
0-3 feet: .614
3-10 feet: .363
10-16 feet: .439
16<3: .424
3P: .291

LeBron (age 30-31)
0-3 feet: .722
3-10 feet: .361
10-16 feet: .348
16<3: .404
3P: .309

LeBron has to work on that jumper if he wants to prolong his career.
