nikkas keep talking that "b-b-b-but in Miami" shyt to say LeBron had a good jump shot and post game ignoring all context.
Its different shooting the basketball and playing in the post when you're playing next to Dwyane Wade vs. Kyrie Irving. Not only does the defense defend him differently, but there's also a higher level of confidence that Bron clearly had because of who his teammate was. Despite all the shooters in Cleveland, he had more space in Miami because defenders were not leaving Wade. I don't care what you say, Wade at 35 is still better to have in the playoffs than Kyrie Irving. So if Wade is even better now, you know when the Heat had the big 3 Bron knew he had an unquestionably better player backing him up then. That gives you confidence, and since we know Bron is a bit of a front runner, that's huge.
Its the same reason GS plays a lot freer. They trust each other more and have more confidence in the next guy down. Bron don't have that and his game has suffered because its not Wade and Bosh that's the next guy down anymore, its cats like Kyrie and Love. But even more than that, defenders hesitate to leave Wade, which gives Bron a split second more to work that he's not getting in Cleveland.

Bron is actually just worse at shooting the ball than he was in Miami or even 2010 Cleveland....
Look at the confidence in his shooting in this video in the 2010 semis.....It's just a total different player from what we're seeing in 2016.

So we gonna act like LeBron didn't develop a monster low post game in Miami? Now he can't find easy baskets? Steve Kerr with the shyts on that one
LeBron is one of the most complete players in the history of the game. He came up short in the finals, but to act like he's just a average ass player is stupid. I don't even like the dude and I will admit he's an all-time great talent.
He didn't.....If he did, he'd still have it.Him having a monster post game is a myth like unicorns.
He got by in Miami....was approaching decent....but there was never anything spectacular about Bron's back to the basket/post game.
You don't just lose a post game.Monster post/back to the basket games like Dream,McHale, Mike, Kobe.....The athleticism declined with age, but their post skills never vanished.
It's like forgetting how to ride a bike.Just don't happen

And I can honestly say you have no idea what your talking aboutShot difficulty..and range on his shyt was better. I already said Mj had better ball iq and picked his shots alot more wisely, which is why his fg% was higher. I Saw Jordan play in the 92-98 era, he's my personal GOAT but I can honestly say I saw prime Kobe hit shots that MJ never could

Lebron has always been a freak of nature and a unbelievable athlete, that's what enabled him to put up such great numbers over the years. Basketball wise, I wouldn't call his talents "all time great."
nikka fukk all that analytics, make, miss, PER % bullshyt.
No lies was told...
nikka never had no post moves in Miami, he just had strength to back the little ass eastern conference players down except for pierce.....
Jump shot is a struggle like pippen was
Make that nikka go left and I guarantee you see a turnover or that same ass spend back to the right...
nikka game is like a stale hot dog

kobe's midrange game was never better though than MJ.
MJ had the goat midrange game, kobe's was good but it was never evolved or better in any way shape or form. MJ was bigger, stronger, and had a quicker first step.
Bron had a post game his last 3 years in Miami but he seemed to have went away from it and just drives into the lane now off the dribble. And his jumper has always been streaky but a couple of years ago he seemed to have figured that out too. Now it looks like that has left him too. Maybe this summer he just needs to rest for a month then get back into the gym and work on that 3 and that mid range game. It's time to stop making excuses and saying he will work on it as he ages and has to play in the post now cause that time is now here and he needs to recalibrate his game a little bit as he gets older.

@ kobe's midrange and fadeaway being better than Jordan's.
He still Ohio brethren but I'm no longer having high expectations for him. This is 3 in a rowThat nikka really got you contemplating shyt these days on some "should I or shouldn't I" type shyt :wavylol:
