Is lebron losing his athleticism?

[Originalman]

I think if they ask him to exert more effort defensively, he will wear down as the season goes along..At an earlier point than usual..

I dont think he should be on the Tim Duncan plan, but they gotta find ways to limit his minutes...And give him some games off

He's played in like 4 straight finals and im sure he's averaged over 37 minutes a game..Plus the extra energy on the defensive end..

Those years playing that small ball mess in Miami and running around playing that trapping defense took a lot of miles off of him. Didn't help either that dumb ass Spo would have the starters playing the whole 4th Qtr even when the heat were down by 20 and 30 points in a blow out.

Yeah they need to have him be able to not have to guard the best offensive players at the 3 or 2 positions. The Bulls did this with MJ after his first retirement. Usually Pip would guard the best offensive wing. But there were times that even Harper would guard the second best offensive wing player before Jordan.

Lebron is no longer the best player in the league. There's at least 3 better, and approaching their primes.

his offensive game will definitely have to evolve.

KD, Curry.. ??

 

[G-Zeus]

Hes still the best player in the league
Smh at someone saying Davis is already better, he started 1 of 16 today

i dont think lebron is the best player anymore..

i do think he is the mvp of the league as in.. REALLY most valuable..

but..i think KD owns the title now i cant wait to see him play cause his shot looks deadlier.

Anyone who watches the game can see that he has lost some athleticism and has since he first signed with the Heat. It has been gradual but there all the same. He's about to be 31 now with probably close to 15 years worth of games under his belt including the playoffs and Olympics so of course he's gonna lose a step. Plus at his age this is the time where most players start to lose a step so this is nothing new and even Bron for all of his freakiness as a specimen is just a human like the rest of us too.

Naw his first two years with the Heat he still had it

You are right, HGH doesn't work like that but once you are off HGH, it will cause problems that directly affect athleticism.

Of course he is he's going to be 31. But it's clear his skill and b-ball IQ are still elite.

Yeah but not the same as he had as a 21-22 year old. Which is just human nature. The older you get the less faster and quicker you are even if that means you are more athletic then 99.5 of the league instead of 99.9.
