Lebron says Kyrie will be primary ball handler

How did that work out for Wade?
Good luck averaging 16/6 next year Kyrie

I've always said Lebron wastes his height by trying to be the primary ballhandler so much.... it's simply suboptimal to be that big and also be the primary ballhandler.... you can get away with it to an extent based on talent, but at the highest levels of competition, it won't always result in a team that's good enough to win.

But now Lebron is going to play primarily off-ball??.... he actually came out and said that??....

the only way he can do that is to turn into Karl Malone and live on the block.... which makes me wonder why he would bother losing the weight.... something doesn't add up.... i'm a little skeptical that he is going to go from post-ups only 8% of the time to over 20% percent... if he does, they'll win, but i'm not sure he is really willing OR has the ability to live on the block.

either way he's spoiled, and i can't respect a championship that was achieved by hand-picking a dream team.... any elite player can win that way.

... what? How does he waste his height by being the ball handler?

I think it's a pretty well regarded notion that he doesn't want to be down on the block all the time. He can do it against the smaller/lesser 4s and 3s but he doesn't want to bang night in night out with the stronger players.

Did Wade not play great and put up great numbers in 11', 12' and 13' (well, at least during the reg season before he was dealing with injuries which affected him in the playoffs)?

Why is everyone laughing at that line?

Lebron has been on only 2 teams in his entire career, that's hardly leaving.

[Marchesk]

Well in fairness as Lebron said he has never played with a PG anywhere near the quailty of Kyrie. Will be interesting.

[DJ Leon Smith]

Lebron did not "keep leaving".

He's been part of 2 teams in his entire career, that is not the definition of "leaving".

He's been part of two teams.

He's left two teams.

100 percent leaving rate.

This is just another fabrication of Lebron James's mind that won't materialise into reality: it's the Cleveland equivalent of his 'not 5, not 6, not 7...' bullshit.

Anyone who believes the crap that comes out of this man's mouth has to be a chump.

Letting Kyrie be ball handler is a good idea. Even though he has great players around him he still has a long way to go before he reaches his peak. He still has to develop his skills. Playing Lebron ball would definitely hinder his growth
