LeBron is declining or he will be soon

I think eventually he's gonna have to drop some weight in order to help himself during the decline, otherwise he'll start breaking down.

If you said this in 2017 maybe it would be relevant, right now though, it's not.

LeBron has always improved his game from season to season, once his athleticism starts to slip, I'm sure you'll see him post up more and look to shoot more 3's. Barring injury I think he'll have a very graceful slide out of his prime.

Don't ever compare LeBron or his body to Karl Malone.

This is Malone in his late 30s.

@OP for comparing LeGod to mere human beings

I was seriously dying at that.

Like I mentioned in this thread months ago. He is declining and fast.

LeBron has declined.

Right now he is playing at peak Kobe levels. If he keeps playing the way he is he may drop to prime Kobe levels.

You're seriously insinuating peak Kobe, take pick of: 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008 isn't better than current LeBron? From a takeover the game perspective alone he's better. James is currently asking his coach to play him less.

It's funny how certain posters always pick one side of the argument to pick out posts from. You're one of them.

Anyway, my comment had no merit, reason or anything behind it, just a troll attempt, that clearly worked to some extent.

At the same time, now that you've brought it up, we're 10 games into the season, Lebron is putting up 26/7/7 on just about 50% from the field, and he is playing "poorly" according to his standards. So my honest opinion? I'd take him over any version of Kobe this season, since he will eventually start playing well.
