Serious Question: What exactly does Lebron do BETTER right now than Penny Hardaway did offensively?

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

And if Penny had half of Lebron's athletic ability and durability, he'd be better too.

You keep spouting this skill vs. athletic ability like it fukking matters because Penny never impacted the game as much as Lebron did. You're talking about what he could have possibly done but he never put a season together that would be in Lebron's top ten seasons.

Lebron's impact >>> Penny's impact. Nash and CP3 are probably among the most skilled scorers of all time but would you take them over Lebron, Kobe, Shaq, etc?

Shut the fukk up with this "if Lebron had Penny's skill, he'd be better" because you can use that with any player. If Kobe had MJ's athletic ability, he'd be better. If Shaq could shoot like Curry, he'd be better. If Dwight had Hakeem's skill, he'd be better.

Who the fukk cares? Lebron has a bigger offensive impact than Penny.

LeBron's rookie year at 18-19 years old compared well with penny's best year playing for a team that won 17 games the year before

Dude said Penny was just as good a finisher as Lebron?

I'm not talking impact. I'm just talking game skill.

Penny did have a pretty big impact for 1-2 years of his peak. And still is somewhat a legend today despite not having a long or successful NBA career.

Penny has more than half Lebrons athletic ability.

It's one thing to say if DWIGHT had Kareem's skill and another to say of Lebron "who many call the greatest play of all time" had more skill.

DWIGHT is a bum.

Lebron is judged on a different scale. He's regarded as the best player in the NBA his entire career.

Lebron shouldn't have any major offensive weaknesses if he's supposed to be the GOAT.

Be content that you're way behind the WOAT front runners and lay low. Every all time great has some sort of weakness. Nobody has ever had a perfect skill set when considering both ends of the floor. Mike couldn't shoot 3's save for 3-4 seasons, 2 with a short line and still didn't trust his teammates enough to pass in the first half of his career, Shaq didn't have a jumpe shot and was an awful foul shooter, Wade never had a 3, Kobe had an abysmal shot selection relative to even his shooting skill when considering that he didn't like to pass, Magic didn't have a reliable jumper for a while either

I'm speaking facts. Call me woat if you want.

I'm not knocking Lebron just showing his weakness seen from anybody who knows basketball and watches his game.

Jordan could shoot threes. He just didn't rely on them. Teams never dared Jordans to shoot threes.

I understand what the OP is trying to say (and in part - he's right), but he framed it horribly. He should've left it up to @MooseMouthMthafuga to make ithis thread instead.
