If he’s so Easy to guard how come more defenses don’t just force him into iso? Surely it’s gotta be that simple right?

Cause LeBron's teams are usually filled with shooters that space the floor. If those shooters weren't there to space the floor LeBron would have to do more isolation.

LeBron's style is great for his individual stats. But ultimately its flawed when it comes to winning cause he ends up having to rely on his shooters to win him rings. If Kyle Korver doesn't knock down those corner 3s in the last minutes of Finals games he will end up losing. Its the main reason he's 3-6 in the Finals.

Team players aren't supposed to rely on teammates

Also Bron calls for a pick almost every play. Anyone who played ball knows that when someone is calling for a switch its cause they can't get by you one on one so you automatically got less respect for them than someone who is busting your ass man to man.

LeBron's style of play is why his peers don't revere him like they do Jordan and Kobe. Its cause what LeBron does is not mano y mano. He's instead just exploiting weaknesses in your team defense. Jordan and Kobe were going straight at your defense's strengths and saying you still can't stop me.


Didn’t Kyrie and Bron take turns getting Steph to switch onto them? I don’t think Kyrie has trouble getting around any player in the league if he wants to

No, because based on how much he has the ball and how physically dominant/gifted he is, he’s going to put up numbers in his sleep. Lebron has no complexity to his game and there’s not much to study. When it comes down to it, you know what he’s going to do.
This shyt right here is how you know fools just talking out there ass and have never competed in a sport to the magnitude to understand levels. In sports I don't care what sport it is(in this day and age) you can only get by so far with just gifted athleticism. This isn't like when Wilt was in the league and playing against undersized grocery baggers. We live right now in the age of the athlete. Women, kids, teens, etc.....everybody damn near showing feats of crazy Athletics. So once you get the "elite" levels the small percentages that make it to elite leagues. Being the best athlete will only get you so far until you just fall back to the pack. We have seen supreme athletes come and go in the leagues but the ones who last, who become legends, Hof , etc are the ones who separate themselves by having superior work ethic, supreme technique in there craft, who evolve and keep growing there range of ability. To say what you say about LeBron after sustaining this after 17 seasons at a elite level in the elite league against other elite athletes/players is flat out stupidity.

I love my Razorbacks but Beverly is kinda crazy. He doesn't respect anyone on the other team.

I don't think he doesn't respect them. I just see it as what do you expect him to say when he's gotta go up against them? He's a shyt talker and doesn't mind taking challenges win or lose.
