Multiple people confirm Lebron does not have a quick first step

[SpursFanSinceNovember2017]

There's fat fukks out there with quick 1st steps. I've seen the slowest unathletic old guys beat people with their first step consistently.

1st step is different than speed as noted by OP.

A good NBA example of a big guy with quick 1st step is Shaq. He used to beat players smaller than him with his first step. Zack Randolph destroys Griffin with quick 1 step moves, I remember Chris Gatling would beat people with quick moves and first steps as well.

Kenny talks about Zach's 'quickness'

05-10 he did...

He seemed to lose it when he went to heat, probably from weight

But he lost weight wen he went 2 heat

I didn't read that shyt I'm just here to neg you, dap you, un dap you, and give this one star.

Complain that a 6'8 and 250-260 lbs doesn't have the instant acceleration of 200 lbs guards

Post vaguely literate half-sentences and forget to include the word 'brehs' at the end yet still manage to formulate an appropriate response to the OP, brehs

Brons had a first step during his first time in Cleveland. He just was slimmer back then

He really didn't. He was a little more fluid and explosive than before he put on all the upper body strength, but from a standstill against good 4th quarter defense he was never quick enough to consistently beat locked in defenders to the spot and was forced into shooting over the top. Think about how many charges LeBron has had called on him trying to be quick. He is the most unstoppable full court player ever because he generates so much force on the move when he has a step, but in the halfcourt it's about quickness to get that step and Bron has never had much shake to be able to consistently do that.

Bron game is Power,IQ and excelling really well in transition NOW.

Dude had a very good first step when he first came in the league.

This isn't a secret and there has been threads made about this already, his first step is good enough for what he needs to do

 

[Birdman]

hes 30 years old, Measures 6'8, 240...

playing against people 20-26 that weight 210...of course he won't be considered "Quick"

melo has a quick first step

He's taller than Melo and 20-30lbs heavier than him.

 

[Pesci]

He's taller than Melo and 20-30lbs heavier than him.

people have to play up on Melo because that elbow jumper is like a layup for him also

 

[Boonapalist]

OP's bytch ass took this thread and his replies straight from inside hoops

 

[LexDiamonds]

Now but when he was younger his first step was killer

Also, Lebron's first step is a tad underrated. Lebron would be blasting by people if they consistently guarded him like they did Melo.

Lebron is being guarded looser, with most of his opponents more scared of his drive than his shot, so his first step doesn't look as quick.

Idiots keep talking about LeBron's one on one game like basketball isn't played five on five.
