    Default LeBron James is not as dominant as 2008-2010.

    This year with the Miami Heat, Lebron James has been playing really slow. He no longer drives the ball anymore, and he no longer could get through his defenders one on one. Is it me or anyone else witness this?

    Probably the reason he went to Miami. He wants to be carried to a championship.

    Better than Jordan? Bullsh*t.

    He still gets way up there on his dunks as evidenced by tonight's game. I don't think he's lost his athleticism.

    Of course his shot is getting better, but he no longer gets to the rim like he used too. Its kind of sad sometimes.

    Yes, but not as explosive as past years.

    No one wants to see lebron waving off guys so he can try to beat guys. atleast coach spo doesn't think it's an effective way to use him. They set picks for him he either gets to the rim or passes it an open man.

    Nope, you aren't imagining it. He's gotten slower and lost a bit of his explosiveness. Usually it happens when you get older but in this case, I think it's his diet and/or workout regimen. Getting by on pure genetics is not enough anymore...you gotta watch what you eat and continue to work out to stay lean and quick.

    The funny thing is that he's a much better player than he was a couple years ago. Much better. It's still a bit sad, though. I remember seeing him leading a break and thinking "oh shit dudes gonna smash on someone". Now I think "He's probably gonna lay it in or get fouled".

    I agree, the man used to be a monster in the paint.

    Yes, Lebron was better in 2009 and 2010, but he's never been as skilled as he currently is.

    He's every bit as good. He's just playing with 2 stars now. He'd have no trouble going back to putting up 30/9/7 a night if he was asked to carry a team again.
