QUESTION: Did Lebron ever have “handles”?

[Edub]

Decent enough for his size(dope actually)….but he was never Jason Williams or anything

 

[filial_piety]

NA

 

[LexDiamonds]

No handles but he averages 27 a game for 19 seasons.

Here are Kobe's age 36 and year 19 season numbers with those "elite" skills and handles

22ppg on 37%, 29% from 3, in 35 minutes

 

[madness]

Bron been better than Kobe for damn near a decade

 

[filial_piety]

Na

 

[Born2BKing]

Yes
He was able to get anywhere on the court he wanted to for 15 years and that’s not just only speed and power .

great ball control is having handles.

Is his handle flashy ?hell no. But the same can be said for Andre Miller and Chauncey .

These nikkas think having handles is being on some And 1 shyt lol

 

[fifth column]

What does it say about him, or say about them, that they are so much more skilled than LeBron yet he has skated past them all through the record books?

This makes no sense

 

[fifth column]

Bron’s game is clunky except his touch around the basket. He looks down at the ball a lot when he’s trying to set up his iso dribble moves/step back

 

[Reality]

mans is in his 19th year. Don’t you think coaches would have been did this if this were the case?


Brons handles are just fine. On the other hand you have a dude like cam reddish who dribbles like he just learned how to play basketball. Bron isn’t flashy like Kyrie but he isn’t absolute trash like Cam when it comes to handles

I burst out laughing reading that post. These coli dudes breh...got hall of fame coaches and dynasty-building GMs in here but the jobs don't pay enough

Pressuring Bron on ball has been a great way to guarantee him at least a double double, 30 pts and 15 assist type night minimum for like 90-95% of his career. Without a double team that's like 40 points and 2 of your starters fouled out or in foul trouble by mid-4th quarter.

Only in the last 2 years would this even be thinkable and even still it's a gamble.

 

[Greenhornet]

his version of breaking your ankles is


he looks nonchalantly at the ground 7 seconds into the shot clock like he forgot what he's gonna do, and then drives or pulls up immediately

its called "the possum"

None of this advantage is due to his handles instead it’s his playmaking

 

[who_better_than_me]

Lebron got handles that are just enough to do whatever he wants to do....

I've always thought that was one of the uglier parts of his game. But shyt....it works for him, somehow.

Eric Gordon the same way. Pitiful handles but he can get to the paint at will and bully his way to the basket.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

It says nothing about them it just says Bron played longer

Bron hit all his records faster than Kobe did, dingus

 

[Dwight Howard]

No handles but he averages 27 a game for 19 seasons.

Terrible logic.
