Who has the most pure talent: Prime Tracy McGrady or Lebron James?

[ZenMaster]

Same thing I guess. Just emphasizing the point of talent, and not intangibles.

OK, so are we talking basketball technical skills and not taking in account athletic advantages?

[tpols]

OP tell me if I'm right.

You mean who had a overall better package right before they entered the nba (as in talent+skill) to excel in the league right?

Lebron still has better technical skills than McGrady.

[stickfigure87]

lebron. his athleticism is unmatched. though mcgrady has the better skill set

Lebron still has better technical skills than McGrady.

What? What is he better at?

[Sarcastic]

What? What is he better at?

Ball handling, rebounding, passing, defense, overall scoring.

The only place where McGrady has a slight edge is outside shooting.

lol

Advantages
ballhandling-equal
posting-tmac
jumpshooting-tmac
range (3pt)-tmac
passing-equal
rebounding-lebron(and not because of skill but rather size)

WTF are you talking about?

lebron is a better scorer because of his athleticism and penetrating ability not because of his skills. Dude's shot is wack, footwork is ass, and he has no range. You're prolly one of those guys using assists to justify him being a better passer too

Your post fails on so many levels.

Probably T-Mac. It's close either way though.

Not a better ball handler, not a better rebounder (prime, not career) not as good of a defender, not as good of a scorer.
What.... None of that is true. The only one that has merit is passing, and TMac had better vision, Lebron just has better execution.
Am I the only one that doesn't agree with any of this?

Sarcastic just made one of the dumbest stetments in ISH history. Peak for peak tmac is neck and neck with kobe (and he isn't anymore athletic than him). So does lebron possess more skill than kobe? Did you ever watch tmac? He was an elite jumpshooter which equals SKILL!

You might have misunderstood the thread.

You might have misunderstood the thread.

The question is: who has more talent?
The answer is: Lebron James.

Not only is he one of the most physically gifted players of all time, he is extremely talented too. That is what makes him one of the greatest players of all time.
