"Wait till Lebron gets older and loses his athleticism" can we discuss this dumb logic?

Lebron has a part time jumper which has improved over the last couple of years though.
Snapple fact lebron was 13-13 inside of five feet last night.
4-12 everywhere else.
Oh and peep the finals stats.
oh and be mindful of the shooters on deck and the general space he has.
In before the flames
Oh and every player loses athleticism and has to adjust.. that logical.
Seacrest out.

Part time jumper doesn't entail shooting 41 percent from the 3 point line. As for all that other nonsense, i could care less about stats you reeled off from one game. Lets talk about these last 2-3 years, his mid range shot has damn near been automatic. ? out here acting like all he does is dunk when the majority of his shots are 10-15 ft shots.

thats hilarious.. -
Stop talking out your ass playmaker!

Just in case yall don't know. LBJ can't jump like he use to but the size and ability to use that size to get where he wants on court ain't going nowhere.
-
? got to have something to hang on to since the "King without a Ring" ? went away.
-
When I see ? trying to discount great players like Bron, Kobe, Jordan, etc, that just let's me know that NONE of you muthafuggas know what you're talmbout and you're just stannin'.
Meanwhile, a nikka like Hasheem Thabeet is stealing paychecks from numerous franchises. foh. lol -
why is this a thread while LeBron still has his athleticism ?
-
Everyone loses athleticism. How you adjust will determine if you're a good player, a great player, or a GOAT level player. You can argue that GOATs like Kobe and Jordan became better players when their athleticism started to wither away. I don't see that happening with Lebron.

He's already better than Kobe's ever been. -

Yea I've noticed that.. Lbj's dunks aren't that powerful and amazing as they used to be when he was on the cavs, they're jus basic tomahawk dunks now... i can't remember the last time lbj yamed on someone nasty in a heat uniform like used to with the cavs -
There where always basic ass dunks, wtf are yall talking about didnt he catch a oop over a grownass man last year

He had a bad shooting night last night on a back to back . but shooting 41% from 3 pt is nice and he's jump shot overall has improved. -

i think people cant wait for lebron to decline for some reason, dunno why this thread was even made, he still ? on any current nba player, the most gifted player the nba has ever seen

1. his dunks seem to be just as good to me as theyve always been. im not seeing a fall off at all yet.
2. pretty much every dunk he's ever done was basic tomahawks, lol. he's always been more of a power dunker. thats why he dont do the dunk contests
-
His dunks is still powerful.
He just don't get as high. That's all I said. Yall looked to much into that one line.
And you will rarely see him yam on somebody cuz ? get out his way.
Oh yea
LBJ > Kobe -

And? That supposed to impress anybody? Try the first to 20,000 points a year younger than Kobe and in far fewer games. Infact Kobe has taken longer than anybody to reach 20,000 points. -
LOL at the 82 Pt game as a weapon for argument's sake. I remember a Kobe fanboy back at my college once had the nerve to say to me "But MJ never had an 82 Point game"
-
How bout he's not jumping as high because he went from 240 to 265? Dude transformed his body to become stronger in the paint and absorb contact. Jordan and Pippen did the same ? when the Pistons were bullyin em.

But what does that mean though? It's not like everyone comes into the league at the same age with the same situations. Kobe came into the league with a Prime Shaq on his team who was the #1 option. Lebron came into the league where he had to be #1 option right away, which would mean he got to score more early on. Kobe virtually rode the bench his first 2 years. 20K is impressive idc who does it. I'm starting to agree with Van Gundy. It's a nice stat but what does it really mean. -

by this logic Gilbert arenas is better than lebron because he scored more points in a game then lebron ever has
