Those are only "outliers" because it's a recent phenomenon. You're just proving my point, lebron has certainly lost a step and his body has broke down multiple times in the last few seasons. However, he is still able to perform at the level he is because the game has changed in favor of less athleticism. You can be a poor athlete and excel in today's league. Let's look at CP3, people thought he would be a bench player/ out the league and he playing at an all star level. What changed between his stint on the Rockets and now? League became easier for high iq guys and less taxing for older bodies. Wizards MJ would average 35 in this watered down league.

Instead of humbling admitting “Damn, Lebron proved me wrong. Props to him:ehh:” nikkas will continue to argue, double down on their wrongness, argue some more, move the goalpost to the left, then to the right, then up, then down, then argue some more, then make excuses, then argue some more:mjlol:

You call it hating, I'm just addressing facts. I've already admitted I was wrong about lebron's longevity now I'm just explaining why he has had such longevity. He has improved his game in areas that the league has emphasized. It's that simple. If that's hating so be it. It's the truth.

I've already admitted I was wrong about his longevity in this thread, you should probably actually read through it before typing up drivel.

Lmao. You Bron stans are hilarious literally the softest and most sensitive fanbse in sports. Can't take anything less than praise. He has become a better/more consistent shooter and has the IQ/spatial awareness to get to his spots with ease. The league has emphasized such aspectes as of recent. I mean this shyt isn't even debatable, the league is far easier for older players.

Short version: if you think the game is the same as it was 30 years ago you should quit discussing basketball.

Nah u hating odee

LeBron isn’t doing anything he hasn’t been doing for years

LBJ and CP3 are outliers not the norm I bet you wouldn’t have said this about any of the old nikkas that held on in past eras

I knew you would say this shyt

Only thing LeBron does now is utilize the step back and the LeFukk you. Nikkas do more step backs and side steps now to create space and the LeFukk You is something he started doing in the last 3-4 seasons or so.

But this isn’t his best midrange shooting season

This isn’t his best FT season

This is his most voluminous three point season (he has to chuck because he has to space the floor) but this isn’t his most efficient three point shooting year and some of these same off the dribble threes and logo shots he was hitting 12 years ago in Cleveland

There isn’t even that many old players left just admit it it’s special he’s one of the few players in history to be dominant at this age and with his mileage it’s unheard of

Undeniable. Dude is amazing.:yeshrug:He shot himself in the foot trying to play GM and as a consequence, this season may be wasted, but to sustain this level of individual excellence with the amount of mileage he has on his legs is nothing short of remarkable.
