Video PROOF LeBron James is overrated as f*ck

[Im Still Ballin]

Delly-Lebron screen and roll on the wing ball going middle, ball defender gets caught on good screen, roll man defender hangs back to contain Delly drive, Lebron rolls, defense collapses in from the weakside, leaving an open Richard Jefferson in the weakside corner, who Delly passes too for an open 3 which he makes. This is a perfect example of how this action can get open shots without Lebron touching the ball..

...

[Im Still Ballin]

This one might be my favorite of the night. Lebron gestures to screen ball man going middle, man defender preemptively ices to push Delly sideline away from the middle, the roll defender hovers over preemptively to cover Delly's penetration, Lebron reads the proactive defense, counters by rolling for the alley oop, Delly drives as defense intends, Lebron looks clear for an easy oop thanks to reading the PnR defense coverage, thus a weakside defender on the wing sags in a help defense fashion, leaving a wide open Channing Frye who Delly threads a bullet pass to, who drains the set shot... This equates to a high efficiency shot, scrambling defense, and offensive rebounders in the vicinity. Great multi-action play

- Great Delly-LeBron High PnR founded upon a great solid ball screen by LeBron , which got Delly's man defender caught, forcing Carroll to contain Delly's penetration, leading to an easy oop for a rolling LeBron... Threat of shooters on each side of the court... Deadly play; the Middle PnR with spread shooters

ISB taking OP behind the barn

[Im Still Ballin]

Lol I've been posting actual facts about LeBron for awhile now and morons come in here with pre conceived notions that have no facts to back up their claims

[andgar923]

Im still ballin thinks screen and rolls are playing off ball?

There is much more to that boy.

Moving without the ball also means well.. Moving without it to find creases in the defense to get position and get easier shots, it means avoiding the defense to create separation, it means getting your man off balance with a series of moves to either set up a teammate or yourself.

Moving without the ball is more than a set up play/screen and roll.

Moving without the ball is specially essential when a play breaks down and you need to make something out of nothing.

And as I showed, he does NONE of what I mentioned and NONE of what you attempted to post.

But like I mentioned, I'll be fair and make a few more vids. I can assure you the results will be very similar to this vid.

[Im Still Ballin]

I get it though... OP wants to prop up MJ and aj wants to prop up Wade

It's okay though guys, you don't have to try and discredit LeBron to be able to appreciate other players

Do you have his post scoring stats from '12?

But like I mentioned, I'll be fair and make a few more vids. I can assure you the results will be very similar to this vid.

What results do you think this video had? Honest question.

One of my main points behind this video is to show how stats can be misleading.

I know it can't happen with just one video, but it gives one a glimpse of what some of us have been stating for years.

You can post a million stats, like some of us have been stating stats are useless without CONTEXT and misleading.

But that's all some of you guys know.

That's not context that's your own biased subjective opinion based upon anecdotal evidence

[AirFederer]

As a big big Jordan (and Wade fan) and I also love Magic and Bird, I still have to say that Bron is not overrated by anyone but his stans on this site. Top 3-5 all time. It is what it is. I also like OP as a poster, but I think this break down is a bridge too far.

Also, Bron is so much better than Kobe they should Almod

[plowking]

lol at what OP considers wide open lanes.

3 or 4 guys hedging and being right on the edge of the key isn't "wide open" lol...
And lol at expecting cuts and movement off the ball, when you don't take into account the whole point of the Cavs offense against the Warriors. Multiple screens to get mismatches, which at that point was then to go one on one most of the time with their man.

Get a clue.

Terrible video by a terrible poster. Cracks me up you actually spent a whole lot of time on this.
