compared to dwight howard/ming/Garnett anybodys weakness is post playing

compared to ray allen... anybody is a bad shooter

AND SO ON.................

Are we talking weakness in terms of it took away from his overall effectivity? For example, MJ was not a great 3 point shooter, he was average to decent. But it didn't take anything away from his game because he was so devastating anywhere within that line that he never needed it. It's like saying that Chris Paul needs a post game.

Shaq is a classic example of weakness taking away from effectivity. His FT shooting often left him out of crunch time situations and cost Lakers more than a few games.

LeBron james - No Fundamentals, no post game, and NO HEART
Kobe Bryant - Bad shot Selection
Steve Nash - No defense
Kevin Durant - No Muscle

Chris Paul - Needs too many screens
Deron Williams - Takes to many off balance shots
Rondo - No shot what soever

Michael Jordan - no range, no competition

There's weaknesses in great players in the NBA. Some fans talk about them like they have no weaknesses. Some mention a weakness in their game that might not be the true. Like for example I remember people said Michael Jordan was a ball hogger. But he really is not. He's passing out to teammates and averaging about 4/5 APG. Same thing example with Kobe. Name all weaknesses of the great player's you know and watched. Players from the past and present. I'll start...

Michael Jordan - 3 Point shooting.

LeBron James - Needs to work on his jump shot, no post game and no foot work.

Dwyane Wade - Needs to work on his jump shot.

Kobe Bryant - Shot selection is not that great.

Magic Johnson - Scoring and not a good defender.

Larry Bird - No post game.

Shaquille O'Neal - Free throw shooting and bad work ethic.

Tim Duncan - Free throw shooting.

Kevin Garnett - 3 Point shooting and free throw shooting.

Derrick Rose - Shot selection is not that great and no post game.

Dwight Howard - Free throw shooting and not many post moves.

Hakeem Olajuwon - Not a good free throw shooter.

Karl Malone - Not a good shot blocker and no foot work.

Charles Barkley - 3 Point shooting and free throw shooting.

Clyde Drexler - His defense needed a little work.

Dirk Nowitzki - No defense.

Steve Nash - No defense.

Allen Iverson - Shot selection is bad and a bad defender.

CP3's a point guard, PGs don't post up anyways!
LeBron - Mental
I can conclude many other weaknesses of the above players.

[PurpleChuck]

Dwyane Wade - Too good a player for ppl to realize.

[Bigsmoke]

wait...

Magic wasnt a good scorer?

Dwight is currently one of the best post players in the NBA.

and why the hell 3 point shooting is a weakness for a PF? If thats KG's weakness then u better add that to Shaq, Duncans, McHale, ect.

MJ was a good 3 point shooter BTW

[Bigsmoke]

Chris Paul is probrably the best rebounding 6 foot player in history but he's not a good rebounder
