Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Lebron: “I’ve Never Liked His Game”

[etrofllenrod504]

I'm sure many players feel this way -- he just said it out loud.

And is the writer of this article really trying to argue that LeFraud is the best player in the NBA? The fukk he mean LeFraud's been the best player the last two decades?

Media propaganda.

Crazy thing about opinions…………..everyone is entitled to theirs.

You can say someone is better, and not like their game at the same time

Students of the game

But seriously Lebron leads the league in jersey sales and all star votes yearly because people don’t like his game

*his scoring game.

And a lot of ppl buy jerseys for a popular name, w/o knowing much. That goes for guys that have aesthetically pleasing scoring bags too

 

[madness]

How did I miss this?

ask anyone who was active on and they'll confirm

What's crazy is thru high school and first year in the NBA Lebron's s game was heading in the direction of a more athletic T-Mac. It's when he started hitting the gym heavy that his game became strength based, rigid and less fluid.

Is this not the dude who Bron personally rattled into missing series extending FTs in one of the biggest games of his career?

At the end of the day, you’re going to be fearful of a guy who has an array of scoring moves. It’s one thing to be a big guy who is going to score on you regardless what you do, but its another when its a guy your size and hes so skilled offensively that nothing you try works.

Dealing with skilled scorers seems to be a nightmare, akin to fighting a flabby ass James Toney who just knew how to avoid shots. He aint gotta be the best ever…but hes the hardest to deal with.

Bernard King used to have Barkley and Nique SHOOK (their own words).

Dumb ass interviewer saying “really?” showing he doesnt know shyt about ball

 

[Shadow King]

It makes sense. I can’t see any basketball player modeling their game around Bron because he’s a genetic freak that’s all-around gifted.

Cats look up to A.I, early Kobe, early Steph because you could see their flaws and how they adapted or enhanced their game.

Giannis, Luka, pre-broken Ben disagree. Probably still missing some.

Many probably just prefer the surgical, efficient, precision of Lebron’s game that is often punctuated by blood curdling destruction.

Fadeway threes off crossovers, chase down blocks, spin leading into reverse dunks, off ball movement, reverse pivot jumpers.




No wonder he broke the record. He is literally all 5 positions in one

 

[Mister Terrific]

Btw this dude averaging 10 free throws a game foul baiting. We know who he modeled his game after

Giannis, Luka, pre-broken Ben disagree. Probably still missing some.

Those are all solid comparisons I did not take in account.

Even Bron was compared to Magic for being that athletic freak that has a non-traditional fit on a team

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

 

[CarltonJunior]

Its pretty clear to me in here that many have never experienced taking pieces of an athlete’s game and incorporating it into their own to become a success.

Most successful or went somewhere with their skills took from players they grew up watching.

Im certain most PG coming up back in the day took more from Zeke than they could Magic. Centers mire from Hakeem than Shaq.

A lot of dudes in here are telling on themselves showing theyve never had any athletic successes in their lives to get whats said here

Hit the nail on the head.

That’s your subjective viewpoint of his game. You find it ugly, ok, many don’t. You can see in the highlights he uses ever basketball move known to man. He can bully ball, but he also has cross over step back jumpers, logo 3 pointers, spin move into reverse dunks, hook shots, and floaters

Don’t assume your subjective opinion is fact . There is a reason Lebron been the face of the league since high school
