Lebron no look pass last night

[melraH]

that’s dope man…but it’s not that serious…I promise you…magic is my favorite player of all time…any sport…so I’m not looking to go down arguing this too much…I just said my two cents regarding the other breh’s post saying magic was 3 levels (however you quantify that) above lebron in passing

*edit*

I didn’t realize it was you who made that post lol…but yeah it’s nit that serious

I know I was just Giving it to the superstan dissertation via proxy.
Im super competitive but arguing online don't pay, well at least until they start taking coli cash at the supermarket

Magic would have backed him down and found the open man. There are levels to this.

Barea guarded Bron just 4 possessions the entire series. In one of the first, Bron tried to back Barea down and Barea flopped and Bron got called for an offensive foul, his 3rd foul. That's why he treated him with kids gloves on the next one.

But you're clearly going with pure nostalgia. Bron lost to a team that had JJ Barea as the #8 option playing a completely different position. Magic lost to a team that had 5'10" Calvin Murphy as the #2 option, outscoring him at his OWN position.

Get some help breh. You write lots but lack reading comprehension. I spoke of Passing and Fakes. But you skipped that part, you skipped the part where I said that Bron is an all time great and a Better more disciplined athlete cause you obsessed over me saying Magic is better at passing something Stevie Wonder could see.

seek a therapist make sure he isn't also an analyst

2/3 of your posts are insults but you can't prove a single claim you've made. Why waste all this time and space insulting people on the internet?

I'm here to talk basketball. I proved my point with both Bron vids and Magic vids. If you want you talk basketball, then back yourself up with basketball. All you have to support yourself is his name.

The fast break gives it 2 levels above in passing because its spontaneous, and requires thinking on the fly

lol, most of Magic's fast break passes weren't even that spontaneous, he had the entire break to plan them out. Meanwhile, what fraction of a second did LeBron have to plan these?

add also the fakes and you got 3 levels above.

You mean like...

style.

Every pass in Magic's arsenal, Bron had too. But there are half-a-dozen passes Bron had in his repertoire that Magic couldn't pull off.

So passing on the break now is easier than in Half court.

go back to the lab and keep your stanning is weak. Just High volume and Motor. You're the RJ Barrett of stanning.

Magic did the exact same pass to worthy

I know what you gonna do.

Don’t do this this year breh

Spare us and give us mercy

You really saying Magic couldn’t do those passes? I’ve seen Bird and Magic complete those type of passes…

 

[get these nets]

Bron is the greatest passer of all time. Alot of the passes he's done throughout his career is fukking uncanny. Dudes that disagree needs to look at his passing highlight reels.

He's not a better passer than Kidd, and neither are better than Magic.

Bro, Bron is better than both. And I'm a big fan of both of them but neither has the long reels of out of this world passes as Bron does.

 

[Shadow King]

Goat level shyt. Dude brought excitement and joy to the game that was contagious. He is the reason I love Basketball so much. He accomplished so much yet his career was cut short. if he didn't catch the Monster he could have easily played another 8-10 years he already had the old man game down pat. Im Just glad he is still alive and kicking it and making obvious Tweets.

Believe a player drafted in 1979 would play till 2001, brehs

The poster I'm replying to claimed Magic's spontaneity put him three levels above Bron. Now you're just trying to argue equality.

I'd bet anything that Magic doesn't have that first pass to Wade anywhere on his resume. Off a broken play so no time to think, and he one-times the ball for a no-look behind-the-back spinning bounce pass through a moving defender's legs? Especially considering how far away the defender was and the fact that it wasn't even a straight line to Wade, that pass is wild.


It's funny you mention Bird, because someone took the "Bird's greatest passes" video and found a LeBron equivilent for every one. In most cases, Bron is moving more dynamically and using a greater variety of angles when he makes the passes too. Funny is that most of these are fairly regular in Bron's resume - most of the crazy passes I posted on the first page don't even make the video.

Bro, Bron is better than both. And I'm a big fan of both of them but neither has the long reels of out of this world passes as Bron does.

Notice they haven't even been able to post receipts? There's one Magic pass in this whole thread. Most of these posters are justt reliving rose-tinted memories of watching Magic when they were 10 years old, or they have only seen that one highlight vid of 10-12 Magic passes, mostly fast breaks, while there are hundreds of Bron passes that match.

To be fair Moses was drafted in '74 abd played until '95...

I doubt Magic was playing 10 more years. He was already post-peak so he was on the come down. It would have been a graceful decline though, realistically he could have played all the way thru to '96 or '97...

This might be my favorite Bron no-look because seriously, how the fukk did he know that would be there?




You have to slow it down to see what happened...he one-touched a no-look bounce pass through a defender's legs with serious spin on the ball....and did all that on a broken play with at most half a second to plan what he was going to do and all the defenders still moving.

This is my other favorite no-look Bron passes because it's the only "Jump, pump-fake, spin, switch to the left hand, then throw a no-look pass backwards over your shoulder all the way across the court while falling and hit the guy perfectly in the numbers" pass I've ever seen. You have to slow it down to see how crazy it is. Who the hell practices that? How do you know how much force to put on a left-handed over-the-shoulder spinning-in-the-air pass that far across the court?






Here's another good one.

Court awareness is just sick here because look at how much changes between the last time he looks and when he actually makes the pass

This is the most posted Bron no-look just cause it's so damn artistic. It's like he knew everyone was gonna bite on that shyt so he added a little style.

Very different one:

Doing this shyt at game speed is wild to me

Does anyone else do this? Note the triple-team too.

This one was just mean.

This video goes over 3 minutes deep with no-look passes before even getting to any of the ones I posted above. And the crazy shyt is the variety - he has literally every single pass in his arsenal.

just elite game feel

it's one thing to give Magic the passing nod but to say he is "several levels" above Bron is crazy

Forgot this one and its one of my favorites. Find anyone in the league who has skipped a wraparound bounce pass this long to a moving target, and with spin on the ball too. He's literally out of bounds where he releases the ball.




Wild when you look at where Korver was when he makes the pass. Just pure reading of the situation, Korver isn't open yet and he's not even looking at him, but he knows that Korver can get open if he uses the pass to draw him into the right spot.

This pass is fukking stupid. Look at this screenshot and tell me what the fukk Bron sees here. There are 4 guys between him and Z and several of them are moving, where is the gap?

This one is so simple looking but I love it because if you play it in slow motion, you can see that LeBron makes the pass before Lonzo moves his leg to create the gap for the ball. Rather than giving a no-look pass, Bron purposely baits Lonzo by staring right at where Lonzo thinks he's gonna pass it, getting Lonzo to move his leg while the ball instead goes right into the slot where his leg just was and with the perfect spin to lead the cutter.






This is a very Magic-style pass, just nice cause the margin for error was so small and he yet again puts spin on the ball to lead perfectly:





For some reason this one makes a ton of highlight videos, I don't think it's quite as impressive but it's nice that he hits that window without having to look. And it's yet another angle of which Bron has all of them.





This is more of a Larry Bird-style pass, but he does it twice as far as Bird ever did, and with ridiculous accuracy and softness.






Nearly 10 minutes of Bron showing more:
