Outside of just using lazy narratives, what exactly does Bron do better than Bean? And I'm being sincere. There's a huge difference between being talented and being skilled. Bron is talented. Bean is skilled. There's literally no nuance to Bron's game. I don't know how many times I've heard this past series, "IF Bron is gonna continue to shoot like that from three, he's unstoppable." And that right there, speaks volumes to his game and the lack of nuance in it. Could Bron win a series, let alone a title, playing with his back to the basket playing the high post? No.....but we've seen Bean do it. Can Bron win a series, let alone a title, playing off ball? No.....but we've seen Bean do it. If you write out all of Bron's best attributes on the floor and decide to take one of them away, would he still be the Bron you see today? I like Bron, but you're fooling yourself is you think Bron is as skilled as Bean is playing the game of basketball. I hate these "Player A vs Player B" convos because they lack context and nuance. Bron is definitely one of the most talented players I've ever seen, but his skill level is notcheS below his talent level is.
Passing isn't a skill? Playmaking isn't a skill? Lebron beat OKC with his newfound post game, despite shooting awful from the floor, by bulllying Durant and whoever they put on him in the post which caused numerous rotational issues that allowed guys like Miller, Battier, and even CHALMERS to go off.
Lebron is one of the most dangerous off-ball players in the league. He actually gets loads of buckets by watching botched defensive mishaps and timing a cut for that moment.
Have you consistently watched Bron play? The nuances in his game are absolutely astounding because of his ungodly high basketball IQ. His ability to seal defenders, absorb contact while maintaining balance, his ungodly amazing touch and finishing ability below the rim, his ability to stutter his timing when he's driving to stop his shots from getting blocked, his ability to get passes into his shooter's shooting pocket so that close outs don't matter, etc
