Am I the only one that is noticing Lebron's athletic decline ?

[CoCKy GeNiuS]

that transition pop and go he once had is diminished, along with his ability to make plays from the defensive end while coasting to another play on the offensive end.... he just couldn't turn up like he used, 3-4 years ago he what he started in the first quarter of last nights game would of resulted in a 53pt. 11reb. 7ast. 4stl. 3blk. vintage bron performance....

So your saying, when players get older... they stop being as athletic?

 

[AITheAnswerAI]

Naw, I saw him chase someone down and swat the ball into the stands. I saw him driving, looking explosive etc. etc. I think sometimes he becomes hesitant instead of just going into beast mode.

Also, he's being run into the ground. Too many minutes for such a tremendous responsibility on that team.

He's not there yet but if he doesn't cut down his minutes it'll catch up to him sooner rather than later.

I do give athletes credit for staying Athletic as long as they do. I was by graduation after making All State in football my senior year and I hadn't even turned 18 yet

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

No, you noticed LeBron overcompensating for a Dwyane Wade who literally doesn't even run on the basketball court anymore and a Chris Bosh who's gotten too comfortable being a role player

 

[drugxglory]

He looked like "i realize my teammates aint putting in the effort right now in the finals so i aint busting my ass anymore"

 

[ROFL_GUY]

he cant blow by anyone off the dribble anymore (boris diaw

he needs a screen literally everytime he drives

100% Agree..... I think next year will be the last year of his athletic prime. If he stays in Miami, he will deteriorate.

Spolstra doesn't understand the concept of rest.

My boy brought this up the other night

 

[Kaypain]

I think he needs to drop a lil weight and get some more bounce on hum

That's why I love the dudes clowning on him for cramping up. Lebron's played a significant amount of more minutes the past several years than anyone else in the league. No one else even compares.

 

[frush11]

That raw explosion isn't there on a consistent basis. Plus it seems like he can't beat people off the dribble these days

 

[Shogun]

Dude dominated nearly every team this year. He looked limited against the Spurs because after getting around an elite defender in KL he ran into two seven footers who are also strong defenders.

How many minutes a night should Bron be playing then if 38 a night is too much?
