Piece

All guys who can jus iso break u down off the dribble and create there own shot at will

Lebron jus dribbles to the right and bulldoze to the rim

Or go left and take a pull up jumper
Hes very predictable

Hes a great player but he isnt a great 1 on 1 player at

His pist gm is solid at best also

 

[Illuminatos]

Half the dudes on that list haven't won shyt though.

He puts up 27 on 50% for his career. Looks above average to me.

 

[Jesus]

null and void when you mention Harden

good thing the NBA is 5v5 then

Not down the stretch for the Cavs in that game it wasn't. It was LeBron in the iso showing off his cringe-worthy ball handling.

 

[dem bath salts]

yeah it is, was just saying this in another thread. makes last shot situations difficult for him.

 

[aboss4real24]

he really isnt

but hes 6 9 250

he can get away with it

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

Face up and triple threat game weak. Average, stiff post game despite dudes saying he developed one 2-3 years ago. He still has his body and strength so, offensively, he'll eat. Can't reallly argue if he's still producing

 

[KingJudah]

He needs picks or needs to be in the open floor other wise meh

LeBron is not shifty.

It's interesting to say he has "average" ball handling skills, when I would argue his handle on the break, where he thrives, is above average.

However, his handle one on one, when trying to create space, by utilizing angles and shifts in body momentum is average; it's defintely not on par with all his other skills.

I think Jharden right now is demonstrating the most elite isolation handle in the game right now. It's interesting because Harden is by no means considered an elite athlete. His up/down speed and vertical leap are average/slightly above average. But when Harden has you on an island its . He just mixes dude left and right. Lebron does not have this ability.

Funny thing is, Jordan really didn't have this ability either. Jordan was an average/below average ball handler. But somehow, Jordan still created space. From my observations is that Jordan had a much stronger grasp on spacing and was able to explode L/R UP/DOWN at a moments notice. Jordan also had a deadly pull up game, which if you watch highlights, he utlitized far more than LeBron. This forced defenders to play him tighter. When LeBron is iso nikkas just back up and expect to get bulldozed like . It makes for cringe-worthy YMCA old head pick up ball type plays where nikkas like fukk this overgrown slow ass nikka

LeBron on the fastbreak however is still the most exciting player in the NBA. Westbrook up there too though.

Really highlights the difference. Watching Harden cook on these is hoopporn
@5:09 you can see that harden is much more laterally quick than James an refs rewarded him by giving him the charge.

And watch Harden mix James at @6:03. If James had this handle he'd be unguardable.

If he hits those two free throws you don't even make this topic.

Nah fukk that, LeOnemove does the same shyt every time. Puts his head down and dishes to a teammate, pulls up and bricks an off balance top of the key jumper, or he gets fouled.

Melo woulda did a hesi to the right, faked the drive, posted up, used his big ass to create space and hit a turnaround squared up jumper Harden's fakkit ass face, then he woulda led the Cavs to the NBA finals and beat the Chokelahoma shytty Blunder in 4 games and win Finals MVP.

Melo the scorer >>>>> Lepredictable the scorer

 

[010101]

but those smooth isolated intricate east west change of directions ain't him

he lacks fluidity and finesse(same thing with westbrook IMO he's miny lebron forreal)+
