Bron's post game has become quite nasty, being able to finish with either hand is a plus. He's going to beast in two different athletic approaches to his craft kind of like Clay/Ali, in regards to athletic slippage that is.

MJ was a 6'6 200-220 lb shooting guard anomaly posting up the average sg that was somewhere between 6'3/6'4 and 190lbs or less. john starks, jeff hornacek, danny ainge.. even the heavier or stronger looking ones like dumars, hersey hawkins, nick anderson, etc still had the height and athleticism disadvantage.
Kobe upon first recollection may have gotten matched up against taller defenders as time went on as the doug christies, bruce bowens, shawn marions, come to mind. Ruben patterson lol and raja bell who were both 6'5. should note that they did also throw taller small forwards at mj too like byron russel, grant hill, gerald wilkins, etc.
Regardless, cant forget the point guards who would be forced to guard them at times (payton, kidd,
mjackson).. so while lebron is taking advantage of his physical advantage, kobe and esp jordan did similar in their own way since they were a tad oversized at their position for a time.

He's still too robotic down there and holds the ball far too long at times. Like a couple of other posters said, he mainly uses the post to survey the floor. He needs a variety of moves or to at least a quick go-to move, especially when he turns around to face up.
I think he could've benefitted greatly from working with Webber on how to maneuver in the high/low-post with a power-finesse-passing game.

Jordan and Kobe are probably the two strongest two guards ever. It's hilarious how cats act like these dudes were 5'9 160 doing what they did in the post. When Bron's athleticism fades he will still be stronger than any 3 and most 4s. That said I don't know why cats are acting like Bron isn't hitting dudes with spins and fadeaways and stepbacks left and right now. If he has the option to just power to the basket he takes it...like any smart player would. Cats complaining about Bron's post game sound like me complaining about my dad backing me down in the paint and scoring at will when I was a kid.
Me: Come on dad why don't you shoot some jumpers? All you do is back me down and shoot easy shots.
Dad: Can you stop it?
Me: No.
Dad:Check ball.

Nah let these 90's/early 000's fanboys tell it they were posting up against the best defenders in the league every time they went down the court.

not hard to be more efficient when majority of lebrons posts ups result in him barreling his way towards the basket for lay ups and dunks and jordan and kobe worked the mid range and on the blocks
This is what I was talking about
So we're criticizing LeBron for getting to the rim now?
Yeah, the fadeaways are pretty and shyt, but would you rather get a 16 foot jumper out of the post or a layup?
Kobe and Jordan averaged SIGNIFICANTLY higher ppp out of post-ups but I won't let facts get in the way
Post the numbers, you'll be hard pressed to find any data on Jordan so that alone is going to be a dead endKobe and Jordan averaged SIGNIFICANTLY higher ppp out of post-ups but I won't let facts get in the way
Bron was number 1 in the league this year in PPP, so care to back up them claims?

This was in Kobe's last full season as a 35 year old man

Yea Kobe and Jordan average more points out of the post than Lebron, but if you have watched the playoffs and the regular season this year Lebron is essentially using his post game like Mark Jackson(on the pacers and clippers) did to set up other Heat players( notably Chris Bosh for the corner 3) and to make double teams commit to Lebron for the mismatch. Lebron post game is mainly for passing where as Jordan and Kobe's post game was for scoring in the triangle and somewhat to an extant for mismatch as well( because Kobe and Jordan good passers as well).....

We're talking about LeBron having improved as a post player and you gotta go back 2 years to find numbers? He's improved since then or we trapped in a bubble breh?
What does Kobe's age have to do with anything breh, he was 14th in the league on PPP in the 2010-2011 season -
I know the Bronyasty frightens you, just accept his greatness

[quote• Keep an eye on Kobe Bryant’s post-up chances next season. He shot 48.6 percent from the post in 2010-11, an outstanding mark for a guard/wing, and ranked 14th in points per possession on post-up plays. Last season, Bryant’s shooting percentage from the block fell to 41.5, and he dropped to No. 30 in points per possession. That’s not bad — a bit bitter than average, actually — but the Lakers can do better than “not bad” with all the talent surrounding him
[/QUOTE]1 season
And that 1 season is better than 95 % of Lebron's seasons
