Name Every Great Player's Weakness

[KingLeBronJames]

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.

David Robinson - Not a good free throw shooter.

Reggie Miller - No defense.

Vince Carter - No heart and no defense.

Tracy McGrady - No heart and bad work ethic.

Jason Kidd - Needs to work on his jump shot.

Kevin Durant - Not enough body strength and not a very good passer.

Gary Payton - Not a good free throw shooter, not a good shot blocker and rebounding.

Carmelo Anthony - No defense and not a good passer.

Paul Pierce - He's slow and can't play defense.

Pau Gasol - He's soft.

AI wasnt a bad defender. Later on in his career he wasnt very good. Overall? Hardly bad.

[sacredcow]

Brandon Roy: Knees, but before that he lacked the killer instinct to elevate his game to a new level. Poor defense.

[Atmo]

[DavisWarriorsFan]

Scottie Pippen - Has a bad post game.

[SavageMode]

Nate Robinson, Earl Boykins, Aaron Brooks = no post game

[KingMichael23]

LeBron and D-Wade - Both lack killer instinct.

Disagree with a few of those, but overall good. Good thread idea too.

Jordan could shoot threes mid-career just fine. He was shooting 37% for like a 6 year span mid career. His weakness would be that he wasn't taller, and that he stupidly retired when he could've won at least 1 of those 2 years he was retired in,

I disagree about KG. I don't think he needs 3pt shooting, and I think he's a good FT shooter. KG's weakness is the lack of a real post game, and his failure to utilize his size and length enough on the defensive end.

Kobe has more problems than just his poor shot selection. His failure to trust his teammates in late game situations has led to more losses than wins. He also plays selective defense at times. D Wade and LeBron are also guilty of that. Most star perimeter players are. So that's not really a Kobe thing only.

Barkley's biggest weakness was his height.

Melo's biggest weakness is his defense, his lack of mental toughness, and he is probably the most guilty selective defender I can think of.

Dirk's overall defense has improved, I think it's actually good now. Of course, his individual post defense still sucks. So there's that.

Chris Paul's weakness is his injury-proneness.

Durant: Relies way too much on calls to be an efficient scorer.

David Robinson: Lack of a really good low post game hurt his playoff career.

Tim Duncan: Was never a really great athlete. His teammates being injury prone has probably been his biggest weakness.

Magic: Shit defense, I agree.

T-Mac: his knees

[Batz]

LeBron and D-Wade - Both lack killer instinct.

Wade lacks killer instinct? Give the guy the ball and a 2nd option and then you could just shut your mouth.

Pippen was not weak in the low post. he had underrated low post moves.

[97 bulls]

Jordan was a solid 3pt shooter. That wasn't a weakness. He just wasn't great at it.

Pippen was a damn good post player. But his ft shooting was poor.

Drexler couldn't dribble

Wilt fts

Russell scoring and fts

Kobe shot selection and IQ

Shaq fts and work ethic

Kareem lack of winning

Magic defense

Bird on the ball defense

James lack offensive skills

I could go on but ill just respond to other people posts

oh my god is this a joke?
Larry Bird KILLED everyone in the league from the post, and if he couldn't score he made unbelievable assists from the post, one of the best if not the best SF playing at the post.
