You can't double Lebron

[knicksman]

1.) Never said Kobe or Jordan cant pass out of doubles. Dont put words in my mouth. They just weren't as good at it as Lebron

2.) GTFO with this Lebron couldn't shoot BS. You are one of those people who watched no Miami games in 12-14. Lebrons jumpshot was money. Plus him being the fastest strongest biggest perimeter player in the NBA he lives for contact and would thrive just like he is now.

Lol. More like jordan play winning ball(offball) instead of 2/6 ball. Jordan can avg 10 apg if he wants to same with kobe. But they arent insecure coz they knew they are the best. so no need to sacrifice teamball for stats.

[Ai2death]

Really... a thread about this? No gifs/videos, no stats, no nothing... Why?

Do you have to try really hard to be retarded or does it just come naturally?
(Don't think to hard if you can't answer that question straight away)

It's never been a game plan to double him, he is too willing a passer. Your best bet is getting an athletic guy who is strong on him and staying in front of him and forcing him to shoot over you. But eventually he will demand picks to free himself up and next thing you know, he has JJ Barea on him. That's when the magic happens minus 2011.

Why would you double lebron?

Because he drops 27-31 ppg on you at a 50% clip when you double him & 10+ apg when you double to much.... Which is far less than 50-100 ppg he will drop if you dont double-triple-quadruple at least when he blows by, if you never send any help he will either blow by and/or power through that poor guy infront of him guaranteed every single time.... and im perfectly honest, this goes for Jordan or Kobe or Bird and many others aswell ofcourse.... if you dont have 1-4 guys diving in for contests/fouls/charges behind that single coverage then its literally 1on1, will be layups/dunks every single possession....

When Lebron picks the ball up notice how he immediately looks BEHIND his man all the time.... he either faces up his guy and all the time looking over/behind him to see if there is a free lane to the rim & if somebody "doubles" (leaves his man open) then lazer beam the ball to the open man..... if neither of those are at disposal then he will either settle for a jumpshot or more likely do what he prefers in that situation & that is to "test/trigger/force" the double team/help by starting to back down/post up his guy on his way all the way down to the rim... if they send help then one of his teammates are open (if there is no passing lane/angle then he will take the whatever shot there)... if there is nothing at all then he just backed down his ragdoll all the way from the 3pt line to right under the rim and laying it in....

Double teaming Lebron= 30+ (draws way more fouls on double teams, attacks more), 10+ assists, wide open three every, blow out win

[sdot_thadon]

If Lebron's 6.7 career APG in the playoffs equals "picking defenses apart", what does MJ's 5.7 equal?... It's gotta be pretty close to "picking the defense apart" too.

Btw, Lebron should be averaging more than 1 apg more than MJ, since he strips his teammates of their playmaking duties and hogs the playmaking all for himself - this is a statistical fact - Lebron lowers the APG and assist % of his teammates, while their assisted rate increases - he turns teammates from playmakers into play-finishers.. Otoh, MJ's style allows teammates to retain their playmaking duties - he increases the APG and assist % of his teammates.

Also, MJ has "picked defenses apart" more than Lebron ever has by averaging 11 apg in the 1991 Finals.. Lebron's never "picked defenses apart" like that.



Classic troll - we all know didn't Kerr double-team Lebron.

Lebron hasn't been double-teamed since the 2012 Finals.. Teams don't double-team Lebron because either his scoring average or fg% doesn't warrant it.

All that hot air man, I'm starting to realize you don't really watch lebron play as much as fume when he does what he does. So by your estimation not a single double team since the finals In 2012?




I rest my case.

[I<3NBA]

There's no need to when a single defender can shut him down.

because shutting him down means limiting him to 20 ppg

[Gileraracer]

You don't have to double LeBron.

27% Shooting with 35 shot attempts per game won't make you win a game anyway

[sportjames23]

1 Defender + 6 feet of Space = Double team for Lebron

[AirFederer]

Yet in the 4th quarter you don't have to guard him at all

[Asukal]

Double lebron? Nah, an iggy is enough to stop that flopper.

39% bitches!

[sekachu]

He'll destroy your team

You can double shooters like Kobe and MJ

But you don't DARE double Lebron

Or you reap the consequences

I believe you just want to get attention for sake. You know 90% of the people will disagree the topic you make every times but you still keep doing this nonsense assumption. You made it boring dude

[HOoopCityJones]

I haven't seen Lebron get doubled since the 2012 Finals.


That Coach has since been fired btw.

Don't mind him....he has nothing else better to do....think about it....he's a 40 year old virgin...no friends etc.....he does this just for attention because nobody gives 2 shit's about him....so he does these ridiculous threads just to have people talk to him.....sad life he lives......

Well, according to history, single covering lebron and daring him to shoot is the best way to win the finals against him.
