Brons Athleticism At 32 Is fukkin Unbelievable

[DetroitEWarren]

I think he was already so ahead of everyone else that maybe when he does slow down a little bit you can barely notice it because of how much more athletic he was than the rest of the field.

yeah, that makes sense.

 

[ikbm]

Nah, not "totally" different at all, just a minor decline ink. He is still just as fast with the ball as nikkas like Russ and Wall. That shyt alone is amazing.

no he's not.
wall and russ are among the fastest players in the league
lebron is fast...but also huge as fukk...so he doesnt have to change direction on the way to the rim like those other smaller players....
bron big ass just b-lines straight to the rim
not faster...but more effecient with every step he takes

I hear people mention Westbrook as the league"s most athletic player in the past 25years. Just crazy because to me peak bron was way more athletic than Westbrook, and even now he's right up there with him

 

[AITheAnswerAI]

I hear hgh is great for recovery


Wade looked awful good this year compared to the couple years before that too

But i'm sure it's just no carbs.

My nikka. I know basketball, Bronson change of direction has always been mediocre, but his straight line speed and ability to use his body and body control is unrivaled. Idk for sure if he is faster than Wall and Russ, but his speed stands out more imo.

Prime Wade had a better mix of speed, control, and change of direction than all 3 of them though.

Dude has a body of a Gawd

He's a mack truck that someone keeps up with Ferraris, I think he was probably just as fast as those two when he was younger.

I think people see Westbrook as the most athletic PG not overall.

Back to the subject, Lebron not having any major injury to date is also amazing. Luck plays a huge part but dude is just built different

 

[Flight]

Dude is arguably the best athlete the league has ever seen. I'm not sure he even had an athletic weakness when he was young in the league.

i'm not denying he's fast....
but bron right now...2016 isnt the burner he used to be...he's still very fast...but he's 260........he never needed a change of direction...he goes where he wants when he wants
example of his speed declining...remember younger bron constantly doing those chase down blocks...those are a rarer occurrence these days for him

young bron was such a savage.....
look at the timer...he went cross court........down the court to meet this nikka at his apex at the rim....in 3 seconds

Karl Malone deserves an honorable mention

missed 10 games total over his entire fukkin career

the fukk does that have to do with anything?

MJ is BY FAR the greatest of all time, but he played less games than Bron at this point, was not as athletic as Bron still is right now. MUCH better player, but not the athletic freak he was.

No MJ is nowhere close to being greater than Wilt. No where close. Wilt was the most dominant player to ever play in the NBA. If you want to talk titles and Wilts rival, #2 could be Russell. Honestly I think LBJ is the only one with shot to break my logjam at #2 between Magic and Bird, with MJ following taking 5 spot.

As for MJ better than Bron, hard to compare when one is a forward and the other a guard with completely different responsibilities, but like someone here said, the closest comparison to LBJ physically is Wilt and I think Wilt was far superior to Bron physically.

falling off and still ahead of 99% of the league*

 

[ISO]

Yeah, LeBron's athletic ability is ridiculous at this age. Strength, speed, vertical, explosion still top notch. The most feared player in the open floor ever with his finishing and ability to dish.

MJ was better but not MUCH better, they are both god tier players.
