Lebron James has one of the weakest first steps I've ever seen

[Draje]

Lebron how good ball-handling. Fancy crossovers aren't all dribbling is about. Lebron is great at protecting the ball, making effecient dribbles, and forcing players to react to him.

Lebron has a great first step but he has long strides too and he's so smart that he takes advantage of defenders who try to play him a certain way.

Lebron has just as many game winners in the playoffs as Kobe on far less ATTEMPTS.

Lebron James has one of the weakest first steps I've ever seen, and he has very little pure scoring instincts. Bron is not a pass/team oriented player solely becaue of his nature...he's that way because he secretly knows his weakness. I believe the worse thing you can tell a perimeter player is that they don't have a first step.

Dude literally can't score in the halfcourt without using a 'pick' 95% of the time and that's why when he drives in the halfcourt his shot looks soooooo ugly. Dude be praying for the defender to latch on where he can get a foul. And I KNOW coach Spolestra knows this because more and more in critical situations he sending Lebron towards a pick hoping for a switch to a much taller and slower defender. A friend of mine is a big Lebron fan and not until recently did he really start paying attention to this dude's true lack of halfcourt scoring and first step. "Dude scores over 30 points a game!" he would say...Then I told him the next two Heat games, we'll make a bet and count how many times in the halfcourt Bron scores by seriously breaking down his own man versus getting points from the line, in the fastbreak, putbacks, or low percentage bail out fall back jumpers. Like I said, dude became a believer after just two games and now says he can't even look at LeBron the same way.

Well he has what? Like 3 or 4 MVPs thus far? He must be doing something right
Noone ever won "Best first step" award from what i recall

I thought this was common knowledge. But to keep it real can you imagine LeBron with a TRUE Jordan/kobe skillset? It's only fair to even shyt out. NBA already gets dominated by stars. Last thing the league needs is someone on real life cheat mode.

Lebron scores just as many points as Kobe on much higher effeciency.

Lebron scores just as many points as Kobe on much higher effeciency.

and someone like Dwight scores at a higher efficiency than Lebron. Doesn't make him a better scorer .

 

[Formerly known as...]

Worst you have ever seen?

Think about what you're saying breh

 

[Draje]

and someone like Dwight scores at a higher efficiency than Lebron. Doesn't make him a better scorer .

You mean Dwight who scores almost 10 less points than Lebron on lower TS%?

Compare people who score way less points on lower overall effeciency, brehs.

Tyson Chandler is more efficient.yet..

OKC fans hate Bron more than Chicago fans.

And how many PPG does Tyson Chandler average relative to his effeciency?

Lebron averages PRIME KOBE numbers on sky high effeciency. Stop comparing him to dudes who average much lower scoring averages.

Some folks get plum dumb when it comes to talking about Bron's hoop skills

 

[King Poetic]

Only problem with lebron game for me dude has no ball control going left. He either turn the ball over or shoot a off balance shot that look all sloppy

 

[NormanConnors]

bron has handles,...
i don't know where people get this bullshyt from.


art barr

they aren't handles though, they're aiight...didnt say they were trash. Bron is the best player in the league to me but everyone has a weakness.

Jordan said this a few years ago and then Lebron his 3 game winners in a month all going to his left.
