If Lebron is built like Karl Malone and a smart player, than why..

than how come

1-9 without Kyrie or Ray Allen's shots.

Meanwhile 1st and 2nd year MJ brings Bulls to playoffs, eventually going 6/6 in the finals.

Are you saying that LeBron doesn't compare to Bird and MJ when it comes to BB IQ?

You can play dumb if you want, but everyone knows that his teams have inferior offenses, ball movement, and rings than MJ and Bird, and MJ's teams were much better despite not having an extra all-star like lebron's teams

Lebron's style is playground ball-domination, and vastly inferior to the best styles that win consistently.... He's talented so his approach can work with enough supporting talent, but it's a shit style at the championship level that normally gets smashed like a prom date

Probably because you're a cherry picking retard. Do the same for '18, '17, '16, '15, and '14.

LeMalone is never among the leaders on the post.. ever.. he ranks similarly each year to Durant, who weighs about 175 pounds

And the issue is that champions don't play lebron or harden's playground, ball-dominant style

Look at all the champs over the years - spurs, warriors, mavs, lakers, bulls - none of them play lebron/harden-ball and their ball movement usually dominates ball-dominance

it's a shame that these Lakers aren't projected to compete for a championship - they're loaded - better young talent than Kobe or MJ ever had

What are you face palming for?

Its common knowledge that LeBron doesn't have the skills those two had. He's far more reliant on physical gifts and playing with the basketball.

There's a reason why everyone, including players, GM's, coaches, etc. all say that LeBron has one of the GOAT basketball minds.

OP is the kind of guy who gets caught drooling in public.



just a disgusting breed of human being.

[egokiller]

Why did OP get to watch MJ and I had to settle for watching inferiority in the form of Lebron James. It's not fair damn it!

Life isn't fair. Get used to it.

Don't edit my quotes bitch.


MJ is the GOAT. Lebron is the 2nd GOAT.

Nobody is saying LeBron isn't a smart basketball player.

Before bringing up Larry and Mike, I mentioned that LeBron has a higher basketball acumen than MOST of his peers.

Bird/MJ were quicker decision makers though. And weren't reliant on holding the rock. Above all of that, they had superior basketball skills.

He should play PF and develop post moves.

LeBron is no where near 2nd GOAT. If you're not first you're last.

You're an idiot on this account and you're an idiot on the other alts you post on. Oh well.

that's where you lose bitch. I've never made a single post on another account meanwhile you already admit that you ran from your main account after 2016

Very true.. that would explain why harden-ball did so much better against the Warriors in 18' than lebron-ball did in 17'...

And even when he doesn't have the ball, Harden gives other ball-dominators what they need (an elite shooter), whereas lebron doesn't; instead, HE needs the shooter (kyrie)

im sure if harden team-hopped to obtain an extra all-star teammate in a weak conference, he'd have similar success and Finals runs as Lebron.. A number of guys would

A big problem is how Durant goes for 30 on 59TS vs rockets and pj tucker (dime a dozen role player) but went off for record breaking 35 ppg on 70TS vs LeBron. That's the tipping point and we know its not a fluke because KD's had eye popping numbers in all 3 series versus LeBron. As did a green kawhi and castaway 8 ppg iggy. There's just something wrong with lebrons man defense, he gambles with help and saves energy for his effort consuming offense.

[3ball]

You're conflating [COLOR="DarkRed"]ball dominance with holding onto the ball[/COLOR]. Lebron isn't unnecessarily ball dominant. His problem is ball holding. He just takes too long to make his moves.

Lebron does both, as reflected in his overall time of possession - it's always among the league leaders and literally the highest of anyone ever in the playoffs and Finals

And lebron is a notorious touch-waster... Outside the top 100 in points per touch.. his style is incredibly inefficient and prevents all-time offenses despite all-time offensive help

Look at all the champs over the years - spurs, warriors, mavs, lakers, bulls - none of them play lebron/harden-ball and their ball movement usually dominates ball-dominance

it's a shame that these Lakers aren't projected to compete for a championship - they're loaded - better young talent than Kobe or MJ ever had

Good point - durant only went off like that on lebron.. Kawhi and Iggy too.. only on lebron

And here's an example of the trance that people around lebron seem to be in - Cavs' GM Griffin commenting on building around Lebron: "if you aren't delivering championships you’re failing".. (article here)

"you", meaning the front office

So the idea is that robot-lebron comes to town with his 28/8/8 stats... but then it's the GM's job to deliver the championship by finding pieces that automatically click with lebron, since apparently it's not lebron's job to develop teammates - he gets to skip that part of winning - he doesn't have TO BUILD a champion; he just has to plug his stats alongside veterans and hope the chemistry is sufficient to win, apparently only once in a while (3/9)
