Serious Question: What exactly does Lebron do BETTER right now than Penny Hardaway did offensively?
- Thread starter DoubleClutch
- Start date
The “would be” GOAT.
Lebrun still doesn’t have half the post game of a ROOKIE Hardaway
Let’s see how that “much improved” Jumpshot holds up under real pressure in the East finals and NBA finals IF the Cavs make it that far
Thanks for the daps
Lebrun fans hate the truth
Lebron is an elite post player, shoots better than Penny, slashes better than a Penny, and finishes better than Penny.
Lebron is Shaq, Penny is Pau Gasol. Yeah, Gasol might look prettier but Shaq does the basics so much better and is so unstoppable that it don't matter.
God u nikkas are dumb af

I think Penny has a more expansive array of moves but Bron can do his game better than Penny can do his, if that makes sense
The thread title is stupid and OP’s logic isn’t very sound, but the premise is worth responding to

1. LEBRON IS NOT A SHOOTER this season is shooting better than he ever has. I made this thread 3 years ago. Lebron was way worse back then. I watched teams back up off Lebron and let him shoot in the playoffs. I’ve watched Lebron pass up open jumpshots and defer to better shooters.
Penny never did this. He could shot flat out from any spot on the court
2. Lebron has no advanced post game skill. Just power. no finesse or complex moves. He’s better now. I made this thread 3 years ago when he was way worse.
Penny post game was developed and unstoppable from day one. Watch some video. This isn’t debatable by anyone with common sense.
3. Penny was compared to magic like Ben Simmons or Lebron. He was just as good or better than Lebron at passing. Just look at video. He was really most known for his passing. This isn’t debatable
4. Penny put pretty much every center in the 90s on a poster. And he was a POINT GUARD. And he had finesse layups around the rim.
Lebron is a freight train and more powerful and intimidating so nobody really gets in his way but the bottom line is nobody was stopping Penny if he tried to finish at the rim
Penny was more versatile as a finisher. Lebron is more powerful. Is bigger. Stronger And jumped higher.
5. Handles? Don’t make me Laugh
Lebron protects the ball well. Plays under control and within his limits but he ain’t breaking ankles or bringing up the ball up court against a full court press. He wasn’t getting defended by point guards
————My main point within Lebron?——
PHYSICAL GIFTS DOES NOT EQUAL SKILL
BEING SKILLED DOESNT NECESSARILY EQUAL SUCCESS IN THE NBA
The Biggest difference between penny and Lebron isn’t even any of the skill listed above though but MENTALIY and IQ.
That’s why penny really didn’t average the numbers you’d expect someone given his skills. ALSO HE NEVER REACHED HIS PRIME. He could’ve developed into a much more talented smarter and agressive player had he not got injured
Keep in mind I was comparing an early 20s Penny a few years out of college to a player most the basketball world Is currently calling the GOAT
And there’s still a argument to be made.
That’s a win/win in my book.
Oh and Lebron STILL ain’t even better than Jordan or Kobe

You partially right but It doesnt matter because Bron is 50lbs bigger and 2 inches taller and just as athletic minus later quickness

First off, Welcome to MY thread.
You took an L just by coming in here and commenting on something you didn’t read
So who’s the dumb one?
that has little to do with his health. its DNA. Karl Malone and bron are built the same bron is just quicker, faster, and more athletic. but they are built like the trunks of trees. Super sturdy and built to last. FORD TOUGH.Bron spends like a milly a year on nutrition.
do the supplements, nutrition, extreme diet, workouts help? sure. but that will help you approx. 20% of the rest being just lucky DNA. Kobe did all kinds of diets, nutrition, crazy workouts. and yet he was always banged up. he played thru a lot so most people didn't realize how banged up he was even pre big injuries. He didn't have that karl Malone bron dna. you think bron is the only one on the nutrition? of course not. but he seems the only one never hurt and I hope he never gets hurt to be honest. lets see how long he can keep it up.
