Let's give LeBron some credit

[OfTheCross]

I'm not an LBJ dikkrider at all but he's inspired the next generation to be about more than just putting up points and "getting theirs"


Kawahai
Jimmy Butler
Justise Winslow
Draymond
Etc.


A lot of all around baller types are his children

 

[Swiggy]

Him, and the 2K series

 

[plushcarpet]

he has still put up 27ppg for 13yrs
if you hate lebron, you hate basketball

 

[duckbutta]

Butler and Kawhi guarded Bron so much in the playoffs that they absorbed some of his essence

Paul George to if you think about it

Lebron on some Gaia shyt passing is life stream on to the next generation of small forwards...

Let's hope he don't pass his hairline along to

Even W agrees with this thread



for real tho, Bron only got great/elite at defense once the media guys started attacking him for his suspect defense. His 2009 season with all them chase down blocks started everything. I think the 08 olympics with Kobe n em helped him a lot.

Yeah, all-around basketball players never existed before this Akron fukkboi came into the league in 2003.

Sneaking Winslows name next to 3 all stars, you're not sly OP

Sure they did. But Bron started the movement. Now most of the top players are all around dudes where Offense might not even be their best ability

LeBron is soo good that any role player that he guards in the NBA Finals gets finals MVP.

Kawhi and Iggy owe their finals MVP's to LeNoDefense's lack of defense and Le20%Outsideof10feet's WOAT shooting.

You do realize all around basketball players been existed right? Unless they come out and say they were inspired by him this thread is pointless.

Anyone born after 1990 is influenced greatly by him due to his stature in the game.

[MJ Truth]

None of these guys - NONE of them - play like LeBron, or even as well as LeBron now, much less at his peak. None of these guys has his passing ability/court awareness offensively (not sure anyone ever has outside of the point guard position).

It's crazy that we've seen so many players that play like the next Jordan or even the next Kobe, but we've never really seen a next Bron. People say it's Ben Simmons; I don't watch amateur sports so I don't know how true that is.

It's not necessarily about playing like LeBron or MJ. But kindof the mindset.

Kobe and DWade get MJ comparisons cause, 1) They're good, but 2) they've got that killer mindset on the bball court.

LBJ has spawned a new era. Remember he used to get dissed for passing up on the last shot...he's spawned an era that aren't gonna necessarily beat you just by hitting the last shot. They'll do it with a pass, or tenacious D, etc.

I can't wait til Steph's kids appear in the NBA. They might have to move the 3 pt line back to 25"

I only see facts here.

Draymond Green watched Bron shyt on the Pistons in '07. Nothing was the same.
