I’ve not denying LeBron’s greatness…probably the second best player off all time.

Doesn’t mean his scoring game isn’t predicated on bullyball and isnt ugly.

Those fadeways are rigid af lol
My niqqa….you making a figure skating judge point in a player having a conversation on how he couldnt take from another player’s game because hes a genetic monster.

:laff:

A LOT of yall dudes are telling on yourselves, not understanding an athlete taking from other athletes game conversation.

You can't possibly think Lebrons scoring looks as nice as Kobe, MJ, Durant, Kyrie, etc.

Again, no one is saying lebron isn't an all time great...I'd take him on my team over more smooth players...but I'm not going to BS and say his scoring is dope. And you can't cap like basketball and NBA as a whole has always but a premium on how a player makes plays...one reason why lebron makes flashy passes.

There are a lot of ppl with this same opinion including actual NBA players....not like it's some absurd statement.

It's like comparing Emmitt Smith's longevity and efficiency to a more fluid runner like Barry Sanders.

Bruh….pros, div 1 players, we ALL took traits that related to our build and athleticism.

Why are you not getting that Bron, Magic, Shaq and other beast unicorns dont really have games that can be incorporated into most normal built athletes?

He said ZERO about grace and beauty.

My GOD!! You guys don’t speak athlete and I’m realizing there’s a lot less former athletes on this site than in the past because dudes used to get it in here.

You are not having the same conversation as SGA! :camby:

What a weird lil nikka :mjlol: Great player but obviously off kilter
Bron is top 5

But he's personally not a fan of how alot of his game had to do with the luck of the genetic draw

Those 2 things can be true at the same time :mjlol: what's wrong with y'all. A lot of people feel that way about Bron's actual play style

I remember when Kanye's song "Hey Mama" came out in '05 and mentally ill Kobe stans on :hamster: rewrote the lyrics and named it "Hey Mamba" to show their undying love to him. Now here we are, 18 years later, and that same contingent has the nerve to call Lebron stans weirdos and fakkits. You can't make this shyt up:russ:


Look at these Kobe stans.









They weren't making tracks paying homage to Lebron, fakkit. :umad:

Top 10 NBA players of all time got guys like Shaq where no one modelled their game after him cause he was a physical monster. No one was modelling their game after Kareem neither because everyone found skyhook not as cool as Mike doing crossovers dunking on everyone.

It is what it is. What matter is what you accomplish, You want a 6ft9 brolic dude to start doing fancy hangtime layups? That's not how it works.

:damn:
HELL YEAH, we wanna see that shyt!

You can say that about the majority of basketball players.

But the point is from a basketball player to basketball player peer perspective not you and I. Most basketball players are not built like LeBron.

Every single player in the NBA benefits from the “luck of the generic draw” …do you think it’s normal to be 6’5” like SGA?:mjlol: No need to try to make sense out of this little nikka bruh

His game was pretty ugly up until his second stint in Cleveland. Nothing but bulldozing, inconsistent shooting, a limited bag, and poor footwork. That said he got it done with his generational physical tools, but you can't strive to be a freak of nature. It's not surprising that a player like Shai wouldn't like his game because there wasn't much to take from it if you weren't a physical freak. Nobody is copying moves from Bron or studying his footwork, etc.

Bron/Greek Freak//Wemby/KD
