Luka's passing is exposing Lebron's assist numbers

Watching Luka, it becomes obvious how overrated Lebron's passing and ballhandling is.

Luka is listed at 6'7'' but is definitely taller, around 6'8'', like Lebron in other words.

At 6'8'' he can easily look over the top of the defender and make the bullet passes to the corners that Lebron has become famous for.

Lebron's so called "elite passing" is really just being tall and strong and having a team that spaces the floor at all times.

Bro you're making me hate Luka even

Kblaze should ban people for a period of time as soon as they show signs of doing what Jlauber(even myself in the past) did to Wilt

Go to your time out chair

I don't know I think there both very good passers but I wouldn't say either is elite. Magic, stocton and isiah Thomas are elite. And there's lots of tall strong guys that have lots of shooters that don't have the court vision like those two so I think your a little off base on this one

OP isn't trolling

Bird's passing was superior because he didn't rely on his natural height advantage by pounding the rock forever and just looking over the defense... That's not great team offense, or particularly impressive, so bird didn't do it

OP is spot-on

Yep. LeDong 2 extra inches on MJ made a big difference. Just ask Madonna.

Large chunk of assists were created by drive in and kick out, it is NOT superior passing skill.

I honestly don't know how people think running to the rim as fast as you can and throwing the ball to the corner on every single play is high IQ or efficient basketball.

Luka is a great passer. It doesn't expose anybody.

Luka reminds me of Ginobilli at times with a little Harden.

Still a better passer than Larry tbh

I did not say it was not efficient
Obviously it is super effective for Lebron, but this move is not about "superior" passing.
You already drawn 2 (or maybe more) defenders to you, and you have at least 1 - 2 open teammates waiting for you. How difficult it is to pass, you tell me?

I believe "superior passing" here, means a lot more than kicking the ball to your wide open teammates, right?

[Real Men Wear Green]

Why doesn't he expose Durant? Harden? Magic?

Rhetorical questions.

You were talking about Larry Johnson? Larry Hughes?

No respect, but pity...
