he didnt abuse the post in the finals.

Yes he did.

just cause they won. and i was glad to see the dude with his back 2 the basket. which made those idiots double team so he could kick it out to shooters who FINALLY hit.

Yes... but he also scored a ton of points in the paint. And really took it to harden - and in fact ALL of the smaller OKC guards - when he had the chance

how many times did you see him dropstep? twice the entire series if that?

False.

the guy doesnt have post moves at all. i have more post moves then lebron on the block and i'm 6'2.

That's fine, but you're a nobody - and I don't care how many post moves you put on your sister in mom's backyard. LeBron did it, brought attention, caused the other team to foul him, and got buckets in the finals. Facts. And he opened up the offense. Literally, he did everything people have asked him to do. he was the man, he led the team, he had dominant performances. He won a championship.

the guy is a giant point forward. but he could get better if he cared to.

We know. Because he improved THIS season.

if he doesnt desire to get better. then he wont.

:trash:

I saw him do a drop step, an up and under, a step through and even made a hook shot off the glass :yeshrug:

He's not going to have a "pretty" post game, his post game is looking more like a mini-Shaq's than it is MJ or Kobe.

can't see him developing that fade away that MJ developed second half of his career, but i can see him developing an unstoppable Dream shake for some reason especially since he's working with Dream...

He doesn't need a damn fade away, nikka can't hit a wide open J

why are people comparing his game to mj and kobe?

he's lebron james.

he just needs to be more consistent with that jumper from mid range, get up to 80+% from the free throw line, and add more to his post game.

he did pretty well for himself this post season with an inconsistent jumper add to that and it will be scary.

Let me tell yall some real shyt.

LBJ just entered into his prime already being a great passer, rebounder and scorer .

This year he introduced his post game. I believe that will get stronger and his mid range and 3's shall also improve.

Think about when his athleticism goes lebron will still have his incredible vision and basketball iq.

So if he has a strong post game and a mid range and 3 he will survive in the league for a long time.

Think about this year he won and league mvp , could have won scoring title with easy he only lost by .4 and he was 4th in voting for dpoy.

Even the hater gotta take a step back like whoa!!

it seems to me that some people's focus is misguided. lebron could very well improve his game greatly without it showing in terms of increased numbers. what his goal should be IMO is to improve his basketball efficiency not increase numbers.

Not really, what Lebron can do is increase the consistency he can perform at high levels and continue to increase his mental toughness.

he needs to improve his jump shot

his catch and shoot 3 pointer is a fade away

he needs to be able to hop straight up and balance himself while shooting
