I can see him moving, jumping, etc., like he is for another 4-5 years.

Bron is just an anomaly. Dude doesnt make sense.

From a minutes standpoint, he's where MJ was around 95-96. BUT he's never had any kind of leg injuries. If you look at KG & Kobe, both straight from HS with GREAT longevity but they've been slowly losing cartilage in the knees since '03. shyt, I cant even pinpoint when this nikka gonna slow down, yet alone how he's gonna look when it happens.

I will say this, people focus too much on his offense. He's gonna arguably still be the best offensive player 5yrs from now. Its his defense thats gonna change/decline. I can't imagine him at 33 going on 34 switching between banging in post then chasing PGs on the perimeter and being monster help defender....especially if on offense he's a full-time PF by then.

For some reason I think his first season in MIA his athleticism was not the same but he's back to them Cleveland days athletically

i thought this as well, in the back of my mind i was thinking he was just coasting though/not overdoing it because it wasn't neccessary

Lebron just turned 28.He won't start losing any athleticism until he's over 30 and even then he'll still be bigger,faster and stronger than his peers.If this dude gets the mentality to destroy anything in his path he will be literally unstoppable and nobody in the nba will be able to do anything about it

A lot of people were saying LeBron lost a step a few years ago :manny: His game is going to slow down a lot slower than his body does. With his size and skill set, he can be a very good player even without a quick first step or a great vertical.

Lebron isn't as athletic as he was in his Cleveland days, but he is still more athletic than 95% of the league.

Im not a bron stan to say the least but i give him props for his off season training. Imagine if shaq worked as hard as bron or kobe in the offseason. He could've had another 6 years as the most dominant guy in the nba.

- the only way he falls off is if he goes the shawn kemp regimen
going from this

He'll probably lose a little bit of it in the next couple of years but he will still be a top notch athlete though. I think he has lost a slight bit from his earlier years but because his athleticism was so elite from the start u can hardly tell.
