all my lebron fans please let this man be...he know his middle name for god sake
Your whole post is one big contradiction
You admit his whole game is based on his body and how athletic he is. As far as actually skill he's slight above average. But yea, hes top 5 alltime
His body is his body. Why wouldnt he get credit for that? Right now, he dominates with that body. When he loses that, let's see what happen.
Before i say why, dont get me wrong, hes a GREAT player. High Bball IQ, great play maker for his size. One of the best bodies in NBA history(pause )
He played his ass off in the playoffs and deserves his Finals MVP.
Thats where it stops.
No, lebron is not a top 10 NBA player of alltime because he finally got himself a ring.
His man to man defense is still weak, he CAN NOT guard any position. How df did that rumor even get started
He's a decent shooter, far from a great one. His poor shooting is over looked because he can still score on a high%, mainly due to his size and that he plays in the softest era in NBA history.
He doesnt have the scoring arsenal that other top players have. I would say hes not even top 10 in the league when it comes to this. This is why its been so easy for teams to shut him down in the past(hell they can still shut his ass down now)
Last, he still doesnt have the clutch gene. I wont call lebron a quitter, but he does in fact fold up pressure,and he is not a clutch assassin like other players.
Sorry, but im not impressed with Lebron, to be calling him a top 10 player alltime. If he is the best player in the league, then he's the worst best player in a long time.
I saw it while i was looking up his "godly" stats, showing him shooting 25% from the 3 in this years playoffs
This is a perfect example of what LeBron meant when he said he spoils us.
Do you understand what LeBron James is? This man is 6'-9", 260! And people are complaining about his shooting?
You're argument is basically that he's not a perfect player but you're completely ignoring the fact that he is the most complete player with his size/skill ratio to ever play this game.
Karl Malone is arguably the best PF of all time.
LeBron, at the size of arguably the best PF in the game, Karl Malone, straight put the clamps on D. Rose in last year's ECF.
The no clutch gene is a myth
The ONLY legit knock on LeBron is his shooting, in particular from the line. But he definitely makes up for that by getting to the hole and being efficient.
And he still shoots the percent from 3 as SG#24 for LAL
In 9 years LeBron averages 1.3 makes on 4.0 attempts form downtown. In 16 years Kobe averages 1.3 makes on 3.9 attempts from downtown.
I'm talking career numbers, not just last year.
He doesnt have the scoring arsenal that other top players have.
