It's crazy, cause when he was on Miami this dude fukking killed us(bos) Now son is playing like he's scared to shoot. Where was this in 2011 and 2012 smh.


That 45 point game was an anomaly. He played like that cause Wade psyched his head up

The entire game, I was like:beli: dude knows he can't do this on the regular

I get tight every time I think about that game. bytch ass nikka went super saiyan. He never displayed the array of shots he hit in game 6. The shot he hit at the 2:48 was ridiculous. Excellence foot work into a turnaround jumper? I knew it was over then because dude had never displayed that kind of skill before.



He hit like 5 turnaround jumpers that game.. Why can't he do this vs GS. This fakkit killed Boston with his shooting.

Part of it has to do with LeBron's shot form. In Miami his feet were narrower together, his elbows and form was tight, and his release was the quickest it ever was. Resembled Melo's jumper kinda. By 2013/2014 you had to respect that he was a good shooter at that point (60-64% TS% is good for anybody's standards) and that's when his peak offensively was.

Past year or so his jumper looks really slack. His lift has naturally declined and that plays a factor but it doesn't excuse how inconsistent his form is now. Saw a play in G1 when he pulled up around the free-throw line (he has plenty of space) and when he went for the jumper he almost shrunk (his back was like hunched idk how to explain it) and he barely jumped. Clank. He really still needs to work on his jumper as much as he was doing in Miami.

People actually think that this is championship style of play. Playing like he does, doesn't get anyone else a layup or dunk but a 3. Too difficult of a shot.
LeBron demands that he gets the layups and dunks while he passes to "my shooters". :stopitslime:

Well if that is the case he's got to score way more than 25pts on 40% shooting

Instead the media will criticize Kyrie Irving telling him to pass more, when really they should be criticizing the game of LeBron James :francis:
True

What I hate the most is that the media feeds into this bullshyt.

Then you see Bron running his mouth towards the end of games from the bench looking like he's complaining about his team n shooters.....

When really he was never a leader. Just a strong big nikka w no handles.
Wade was such a strong leader that he was able to play politics and let Bron think he had leadership abilities

Now some corny light skin negus with less experienced than him.... show real leadership and CLUTCH skills, etc

He'd be unstoppable with a half-decent midrange....I've been watching him this season like :wtf:...you can't just barrel your way to the rim every time nikka

Bu bu bu but he's better than Kobe! look at his PER, look at that efficiency! :mjlol:

Bron at the beginning of the downside of his career so y'all wait until now to slander him? :russ:

You know how much wear 6 straight finals is on a body? Plus add in the Olympics. Dude isn't even a finesse player to avoid contact. Lebron stay getting hacked :patrice:


Not even a Lebron Stan but this hating is disgusting :dame:

Yeah this cleveland bron lack of a jumper i startling

I think he thinks because he runs pg now he didnt have to continue refining his jumper snd post...idk what happened but that shot looks clunky af now especially his release and his post game definitely isnt the same. Bron used to hit that face up post jumper at a good clip from 2011 to 2014 and now he has refused to attack from there since

THINKING TOO MUCH = LACK OF KILLER INSTINCT


THATS WHAT WE SAYIN.....I HEAR ANDREW BYNUM HAD A GREAT SKY-HOOK. BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN SHIIT IF HE RARELY HAS THE BALLS TO USE IT.
interesting to see you don't view Kobe as much of a cerebral player.

Overthinker, Lebron did damage to his psyche by overexposing himself, and giving that retarded "Not 1, Not 2,..." speech
