Full time power forward with three point range? :dwillhuh:

Hes been so ball dominant over his entire career i wonder how his game is gonna evolve as he gets older and less explosive.


I think he can bulk up to 280 and play more of a traditional forward role even though his post game is not that great right now. Maybe he just goes the magic route and plays point guard his whole career?:ld:


Thoughts on how lebrons game evolves with age?

I thought he played at almost 270 in cleveland? He really cut down weight when he came to miami, but you got a point here.

I imagine david west with a 3 point shot :demonic:

You guys are really overstating how much you think he'll decline. At one point freakin' Hedo Turkuglu was running point for the Magic, but yet some irrational people think that possibly the greatest athlete to grace this Earth in Lebron James won't be effective as he gets older? :mindblown:

Not saying he will decline breh aint no need to come in here and :cape:

But as everyone gets older we all get less explosive and even thought james is probably one of the greatest athletes to grace the earth he too will decline.

Im just wondering how his game will shift, will he go into a full time 4 role? will he continue being ball dominant?


Them knees aint lasting forever :youngsabo:

Not much different. Using more strength, skills, angles and an improved jumper to still be effective..along with his rebounding and passing. As long as he can stay healthy he will still average 25+, 7+, 7+ at 35.

His game is built on athleticism instead of fundamentals. So when his athleticism goes he will be trash. Just like when Roy jones athleticism went he became a nobody. This is what will happen to LeBrick and his broken game.

How much athleticism does it take to do this?

The only way he suffers a major decline is if he has some type of knee injury. Otherwise he can just play power point forward and make plays from the elbow. His jumper has and will continue to get better and if he adds to his post game I see no reason why he won't turn into a 18 and 10 player once he hits his mid to late 30's. Or maybe he'll be a 12 8 and 10 type player. I definitely believe when he gets older and doesn't have to be his teams main scorer he will average 10 rebounds a game or 10 assists a game eventually.
