Playing like LeBron requires playing defense
This next gen of hoopers fw KD far more than Bron..... KD got a lot of sons too
- Thread starter DraymondT
- Start date
Others have pointed to how very few if any players have the physical tools to pattern their game after Bron. Its like trying to model your game after Shaq or Wilt. There is a reason most folks are bias towards guards. Eventhough there are tall they dont look like it on TV and they arent tall compared to their peers and have to play accordingly. Thats why a 6'3 son of a NBA player is somehow relatable
Bron's build hinders fluidity so its not gonna look as smooth as a KD. He built like a football player. Watch how they hoop. Beyond that, ironically so much of Bron's game is actually mental. You cant see how he reads a defense and sets shyt up. Thats really what makes him the player he is...his mind.

The bubble was fraudulent
Not even close. That very Warriors team won it WITHOUT KD. Wade and Bosh without Bron is an average Playoff team at best. Damn sure ain’t winning no titles.

True. Not exactly the same. Still, they won 73 games and crumbled against the Cavs in the Finals. Added KD & he won back to back Finals MVP’s. He was the best player in the world for those two seasons

He hasn’t made an all defensive team in 10 years

Yeah…after they already WON A TITLE with that team. Play stupid all you want. It only reveals how little of an argument you actually have

Closest one who can probably model their game after LeBron is probably Paolo Banchero because of the same build and overall fluidity.
LeBron is more of a freak athlete, but Banchero probably got better movement control (like how he's able to handle the ball).
Pretty sure if Banchero was the only option on offense that he'd take a LeBron-type of role:

He's distinctly different than everyone. All time greats in any sport all of a sudden does not forget how to do what they've done for so long. Their physical gifts erode. It truly is unfathomable at what he's doing at his age and the miles on that body. He had an NBA body at 16 and has been peddle to the metal since. Playing the way he plays, he should have broken down years ago.
Most NBA players are freak specimens but he's a MonStar amongst even them. That's what I'm trying to convey.

I have always said that it was a chump move to joint that Warriors team. Said the same about LeBron joining the Heat.

This is the same comparison as Harold Minor/Jordan.
Both have same build, bald heads, can jump
Gotta stay on subject my guy. Unless you think ability to emulate = impressive
KD is a hooper’s hooper aka “your favorite player’s favorite player”
Y’all gotta stop conflating aesthetics with greatness (KD is still an ATG, not saying he’s not at all). I know that won’t happen tho. nikkas gotta get this Bron hate out their hearts man

Not everybody has LeBron 1 or 2 all-time & it’s hard to keep KD out of any top 10 all-time list. They are a lot closer than folks want to admit as far as all-time greatness goes.
I agree with all of this, yet none of it says KD > Bron. It literally says KD is almost as great as Bron

I have only stated in this thread that LeBron James is not significantly better than KD. I have made my point.
