Take a 6'8" breh who "wasted his height" and doesn't play pro ball but lifts for a decade, he's not staying 240 pounds without making a point to be extra lean. Y'all would call a grown 6'8" 240 man skinny.THATS NOT A
BIG DIFFERENCE AT ALL.
THIS nikka REALLY COMPARING
MJ GETTING SOME MUSCLE TONE
TO BRON TURNING INTO THE HULK.
On top of the fact that Bron looks the fukking same
I didn't think so either but the banana boat pic showed that he had size in his legs which makes 260+ believable, he's built like a serious gym breh more than the typical ectomorphic image of a basketball player. I do think his ideal range for his athleticism is 250-260, when he supposed hit 275 in Miami some of his burst was zapped.
He isn't getting up that high on most dunks anymore. He plays chill almost every other game and looks tired in the fourth often enough. Half of his games this season he's played 31 minutes or less. He's clearly aging.
This question is whether his skill set is one that can work with age. And it CLEARLY is. The bball IQ, the passing, the timing on the drives, the post-ups, the fadeaways, the stepback threes - he's been constantly improving his game and it shows.
In June 2016 you said Livingston looked better than Bron right then cause Bron wasn't skilled...that don't have jack shyt to do with longevity.
Is that unreasonable? LeBron has played more minutes than maybe any player in history outside of Kareem and still plays a game that would be hard on 99% of players' knees especially at his age. Expecting Bron to fall off given those variables is not crazy.You claimed he wouldn't even play that long.
AND YEA, HIS HEAD STILL AT THE RIM LIKE HE 21:
^LMAO

I made that call back then based on good assumptions and I don't regret it. If I'm wrong I'm wrong.Not crazy, but you were still wrong.
I was saying years ago that even if LeBron lost all his athleticism, he could keep playing indefinitely as a Magic Johnson-type setup guy or a Draymond-type pivot forward with a better shot. Bron at 45 will probably still have as much athleticism as Magic. He could average 20-8-8 for as long as he wanted.
Ron Artest was physically imposing too and even in his prime he wasn't 1/4 of the player Bron is.
Bron is a top-3 bball IQ guy in the league, a top-3 passer in the league, shoots 41% from three (his 6th season shooting over 36% since 2012), has a really nice fadeaway, is one of the best ballhandlers of his size in the league, has a strong post-up game, is one of the best finishers in the league with either hand, is still the best chase-down block guy in the league even with his decreased athleticism because his timing is so good, and is one of the smartest defenders in the league.
But his game isn't skill-based.
That photo is maybe a 30-32" vertical for a 6'9" player. That's more than 10" below his prime.
There's literally hundreds of comments like these
