How many years does Bron Bron realistically have left at an elite level?

[DatNkkaCutty]

Its not visible right this second....but it eventually happens to the best of em.A season begins....nd an injury occurs to a once a great player or somethin just starts to look off . Seen it with Kobe nd Dirk. Seein it now with Melo nd Wade. CP3 got next too. When will it be Lebron's turn? Of course just as he's starting to fall off....as usual some other star will start to rise to beast mode...be it a Giannis, an AD, a Wiggins or some other unaccounted for star. Nd robbing us of a "what could've been" moment ....a la Kobe versus Lebron. So when will this ngga hit the wall? Or you still not seein it?

Kyrie takin over after?

 

[Captain Crunch]

1-2 years

Crazy part is, a lebron drop off will be different than the rest of those players. He will still be able to play a point forward position at a high level. His 3 ball has improved and vision never goes away. To be so athletic, he doesn't have to rely on that athleticism as much as he does to be good because his IQ is so high.

2-3 years elite
Then another 2-3 at really close to elite

fakkit should of developed a post game he could play til he's 40


14 years in the league and still hasn't developed shyt. all he worries is about his field goal percentage

3 years, Cleveland rests him alot during the season so he can ball out in the playoffs.

As you get older it is better to focus on your shooting as the post-up game will not work. Don't you see what happened to all elite bigs in recent history? Unless you have a Kareem Sky Hook all that is going to happen when you post up is either get it ripped or blocked. Not fast enough to get by anyone anymore, not good enough to draw a double etc.

LeBron has improved his jumpshot and it was the smart thing for him to focus on. He needs to improve his free throw shooting, if he can get that to 80% he will break Kareem's scoring record.

Also, LeBron is not a 7 footer.

Would be crazy if he makes the finals every year the next 3 years but never wins a chip again.

 

[G-Zeus]

elite .. maybe 2.. then he will be a power forward for the rest and be productive another 2-4 (baring injuries) and go out running some numbers the rest of the way..

That's what I'm thinking too...he seems to take great care of his body and his minutes will prob drop off a little bit so I easilly see him having 2-3 more years at his elite level, then "drop off" to like 20/7/7 for a couple years

I think 2 years as well. It is unbelievable that he is still the best player in the NBA.

 

[Remote]

Probably one or two.

With all the mileage on his body you expect some kind of injury to bite him. He's been remarkably durable but I just don't know how long that can last.

It's never ending.

He needs to adjust his game a little bit.

I thought he was legit hurt towards the end of game 7 after trying to kill Draymond, but that wolverine healing allowed him to hit that free throw to ice it.
