When Bron was in Miami was that his prime?

It was his athletic prime, no doubt. Age 25-29 seasons in Miami.

I would say these past two Finals performances being the stat leader in almost every category back to back would make Cleveland Rd. 2 his career prime.

He also is a more well rounded player and has a better play-making complement NOW (Kyrie is better next to LeBron than Wade was in Miami).
His athletic prime was his first Cleveland stint. He peaked in Miami(skill/ bball IQ mixed with athleticism), and now he's on the end side of his prime.

Yeah most definitely. Too bad his hairline wasn't in its prime as well. He had to wear his headband damn near on the top of his head

In 2005, Lebron averaged 27-7-7 and more than 2 steals a game on 47/35/75 shooting splits. Those are fukking MVP numbers.

In 2017, Lebron averaging 26-8-9 and playing stellar defense with 54/39/69 shooting splits. Those are still MVP numbers. :mindblown:


Lebron's prime is in its 13th year. :leon:


Of course, he "really" hit his prime in 2006 when he grew up with those two game-winners against the Wizards and the 48-game to vanquish the Pistons...

or was it 2009 when he really became a complete player on offense and defense, getting All-Defense nods and winning MVPs....

or was it 2013 when he reached his peak offensive skills with a stellar post game and 41% on threes while he simultaneously hit peak defensive skills and nearly won the DPOY along with an almost unanimous MVP along with back-to-back Finals MVPs?

:manny:



Best player for 15 years and only won 3 titles :mjgrin:

Lebron's only been in the league 13 years...


So what do you say about Kareem's first 9 years in the league? :dahell:

Or Wilt's first 6 years? :patrice:

MJ until he was 29? :mjcry:

Kobe had how many Finals MVPs at the age of 30? :umad:
