LeBron’s never played in a real system, maybe he played more off the ball under Spoel (an actual NBA coach) but in Cle he did what he wanted.
Saying this to say I don’t doubt he has the highest bball IQ in the NBA, but he has a lower TEAM basketball IQ than most 6POY candidates.
Your last statement is what I believe to be the case with lebron.
I believe he has a high ball iq as a single lone wing forward.
yet as an actual team basketball iq player.
I don't think anyone ever cultivated that aspect.
seeing as bron was a Catholic school league kid.
he may have lost the state finals.
yet he never had to figure out how to win the state finals as a public school team.
which is a wholely different task than at a Catholic school generally.
imo, bron should go down as the best catholic league to pro prospect in NBA history.
Flywin Lannister said:
DO you see him successfully being disciplined in a system?
I think bron would be disciplined in a properly staffed roster and coaching system.
that allowed him to not have to wear so many self imposed hats because of lack of resources.
Which is why golden state is the only destination that makes logical sense for what bron favors.
