Why isn't LeBron more popular with young players?

Name a great recent one :francis:

I mean, the hardcore basketball fan in me really believes that he's spoiled everyone with his play. But if you were to go around asking people his last GREAT series they'd go back a ways. A long ways. That's what happens when you surround yourself with other stars. You don't shine like you normally would.:yeshrug:

I was going to list a number, but maybe your criteria are different than mine. Name your "great series" by ANY stars in the last ten years.

Regular fans don't respect him. Imagine the people he works with.

I'm sure half of the NBA didn't respect the Decision.

Regular fans "don't respect him" yet he has 23.2million followers on Twitter and 12m followers on IG which dwarfs every other player in the league by miles. Only KD is close, and by close I mean less than half at 11mil.
Regular fans "don't respect him" yet every nationally televised LeBron James game out does all other games in the league by miles.
Regular fans "don't respect him" yet he has the second most successful shoe brand behind Jordan.
Regular fans "don't respect him" yet he's almost always the number 1 selling jersey in the league.

You nikkas live in some altered reality when it comes to LBJ. :mjlol:

FWIW, only like 30 or so rookies were polled. So the difference between 1st and 3rd place is like...2 votes. LOL you retards will bite the bait on anything.

Bron has an efficient game (well at least he used too :lolbron:) but it's ugly as hell. Youngins are attracted to the aesthetics as well as the production

The crab dribble :scust:


The shuffling of his feet in the post :scust:


The nonexistent crossover :scust:


The ugly jumper :scust:


Only thing flashy about Brons game is his passing so it's no wonder the young crowd doesnt try to emulate his game as much.

Too much talk about aesthetics in here. I don't really think it has shyt to do with the way LeBron's game looks as much as it does that his game is so dependent on him being bigger and stronger than everybody else it makes no sense to try to replicate for a younger player.

LeBron can have a go to move of 'bulldoze through the lane' and it be effective, while 90% of other young players can't and have to develop other actual skills to get the same results.

Jersey
Who voted for Rudy :wrist: ?!:laff::laff:

IMO I think it's because he wears a purple jersey. I could easily see gay dudes being corny enough to wear a bright ass purple Jersey with the word "Gay" on the back just to "show support to the movement" :beli:.

Oh nevermind I thought this was jersey sales lol.
