Conditioning, IQ and technique.
But of u could merge that jordan with athletic freak jordan :noah:

Bron's athleticism has been with him longer than a lot of the greats. I wish Jordan never went to play baseball. That was almost the equivalent of Tyson goin to jail. U lose something when u don't train for more than a yr.

LeBron lost his peak athleticism after 2010 lol that’s the crazy part.

Jordan was still training, tho. It isn't like he just sat on the couch for 18 months drinking whiskey, tequila and smoking cigars. :mjlit:

When you have crazy athleticism, you will work harder and use more energy because you're being more explosive. Losing a step athletically, if you're smart you'll make up for it in other areas like conditioning and technique. Add that with experience, the IQ makes you work smarter not harder, I.e when to pick your moments better. You make the game come to you, you don't go chasing it like you would in your youth.

Nah. Cleveland championship Bron was still the most athletic player in the league.
That was nothing compared to his 2008-2010 self :manny:

LeBron regained some athleticism in 2016 his 2015 season first year back in Cleveland he had back problems.

When you have crazy athleticism, you will work harder and use more energy because you're being more explosive. Losing a step athletically, if you're smart you'll make up for it in other areas like IQ and technique to mask the declining athleticism. But more importantly your conditioning is better for recovery, if you don't have good conditioning that the lose kg athleticism is even more noticeable. Work smarter not harder, I.e when to pick your moments better. You make the game come to you, you don't go chasing it like you would in your youth.
He put a lot of work into baseball training. It had been a long azz time since he even played baseball. To see some of his stats on baseball was actually pretty impressive imo.

He couldn't catch up to them off speed pitches and once he finally did he decided to go back to the NBA

Whats crazy to me is how he put in the work he did but its not like he was living some Spartan lifestyle, he was really on that "work hard, play hard" shyt
Thats why I overlook the gambling thing. He seemed to be 1 of those ppl who gamble as a form of competition. A lot of successful ppl play in those underground poker games ran by shady ppl. At least it seems like MJ was fukking with legit casinos.

He worked harder than anyone, he should enjoy himself

This is what pisses me off the most, dude was playing with more money than anyone can imagine because he had money to fukk off. Like he said it didn't cause a problem in his life so why does anyone give a fukk. Would I have blown that type of money, fukk no I wouldn't have but if that's what he wanted to do IT'S HIS MONEY so it's nobody business what he did with it.
