seriously though, anyone who says lebron wont be anything once his athleticism fades is not actually watching games. top 10 highlights on sportscenter doesnt count.

we already saw what a limited athleticism lebron would look like in 2011 when he was too bulky, and he still put up 26.7/7/7.5 on 51/33/76.

here's a good summary from another forum

Quote:
 
We know he's going to decline, but what is it exactly that's going to occur. The big things are what we generally associate with Lebron's athleticism; hops, explosion, quickness, traits of that nature. My point was, we've already gotten a preview of what a less-skilled Lebron looks like without those things, specifically in 2011 and the first half of 2012. He made his living those season with crafty off-ball movement (largely cuts to the basket), an elite mid-range game (only 2011) , and feasting in transition. The most athletic plays he was making were in the open court, largely uncontested. There was little to no utilization of explosion or quickness in the half court. His first-step was non-existent, and the only time you saw him attack the basket was on straight line drives with a completely open lane.

Now say we take that guy, diminish his transition game a bit, but improve everything else. His jumper's going to continue to get better, he's already showing that he's improved leaps and bounds at playing without the ball, he's learning how to capitalize on his spot-up abilities and have them function within the team offense. His back-to-basket game is drastically improved, especially in the last month or so, I've never seen him look so comfortable on the low block (on both sides), and he's finally moved away from using the turnaround jumper as the go-to move instead of as the counter. As he improves his creation down there, he also builds experience in running the offense with his back to the basket. The list goes on.

Kyle irving shouldn't even be brought up in a discussion with these two unless it's about said "hypothetical" Lebron going back to Cleveland move. Irving is trash compared to Lebron/kobe

rumor has it lebron is going to the Lakers, rumor has it Eric Bledsoe & Deandre Jordan are getting traded for KG, rumor has it paul pierce is getting traded to the hawks. Seriously.. most of these rumors are stupid, especially a rumor like Lebron going back to the cavs.. Don't get me wrong, i see him going back in the near future.. but in 2014? when he can opt out.. it's not gonna happen. especially if the heat win it all this year. Most of the nba rumors are dumb, most of them are created by agents and most are just bullshit. & about the whole Lebron n Kobe debate. Everyone's blind by all the points Kobe scores, do any of you ESPN fan boys actually know how many shots it takes him to score 30 points? Lol.. KD just had his first triple double this year. lebron james is close to averaging a triple double, now i don't think KD is a bad player hes easily the 2nd best player in the league and it will stay like that as long lebron is in this league, Lebron efficiency is just scary..just take a look at his first nba game (25 points, nine assists, six rebounds and four steals on 12-of-20 shooting) That stat line looks like what hes been averaging his whole career.. but like it was previously said already in this thread.

Shut the fuck up and WITNESS.

Lebron would murder Kobe in a 1on1. Shaq would murder them both, MJ included. All it takes is one missed shot and the bigger guy will just bulldoze the smaller guy. This is why 1on1s are dumb.

blade you can post screenshots of you beating people like louie in 1v1s as much as you want (seriosly with your sound, set up, and stopwatch you shouldnt lose a 1v1) but it doesnt change the fact that he is 20x the player you are.
