I was just out here calling him the Greek Harden not 2 fucking years ago. Made me eat those words with his performance in the 2021 playoffs. Was happy to dine on those words. Cat ain't showing any bitch antics like a KD/Irving. He went back to the lab, owned shit, and took the fucking Bucks to a 'chip. He will always have that. He did that. Grown man style. :yes:

As for Lebron, been watching him since he was the second leading scorer on SV. He was a freshman. Well over 20 years ago. Had a habit since I was in school to check for underclassman and what they were doing since I was in there myself. Still had fam in school at the time, so he was easy to catch. Then bron blew the fuck up.

Jordan said himself this cat was ready for the league at 16 and Lebron came in just 2 years later average 20 without making scoring a primary focus. How soon some forget. He wasn't trucking grown men at 16.

How soon cats forget that James was criticized for being too sharing with the rock. Lebron james was far from the hulk when he came into the league. Cats can go look back at how big he was. His size was overhyped. Cats just going to forget that he had the ability to finish with either fucking hand after blowing past people? Cats going to forget he scored the final 25 points against the Pistons? SCORED. Absolutely wrath of god style.

Yeah, he got better with time, but he could have just crossed cats until oblivion back in 03. He was crossing and pulling up with great efficiency back then, but loved the passing too much. Are cats going to just discount his ballhandling? How he was running fucking PG. Running PG meant he had SKILLS with ballhandling.

Preach

You gotta stop this bro. From day one LeBron was supremely skilled with elite basketball IQ and could set up players, run an offense and score from ANYWHERE on the court. Yannis didnt learn how to fucking dribble until year 4. This is wildly disrespectful on your part. Yannis has developed into a highly effective great player, but reducing LeBrons game to a Yannis duplicate based on them both being powerful and strong is complete horse shit.
Lebron got y'alls head fucked up. Every player doesn't have to play like Magic Johnson. Greek didn't need to run an offense, set up players or none of that. He had a POINT GUARD to do that.

Sorry man but this comment screams of Lebron hate :lol: :lol: :lol: .... You can't say forget about passing and everything else, Lebron was not only bigger and stronger than guys he was faster and quicker, his handles weren't Kyrie level but they were good enough for him to constantly beat his man off the dribble and make amazing passes. Yannis uses his length just as much as his strength to dominate players

From day one? That's complete bullshit. We are talking about SCORING!!! We are not talking about passing or nothing else. All Lebron did was use his strength and athleticism to bully his way to the basket. He was not out here, crossing folks up, stepping back, elite from 3 point range or none of that. Let's be real. We are talking about SKILL when it comes to SCORING nothing else. Kyrie is skilled, Durant is skilled, Luka is skilled etc. Lebron was not out here looking like none of those dudes on offense in his younger days. I'm not even saying he couldn't score in many ways, but he simply just didn't. He put his head down and rammed his way to the fucking basket for that same tomahawk dunk he did every time. Come on now. Let's not act silly. He wasn't Kyrie with handles, Dirk In the Post, Steph from 3, or CP3 from midrange. He was fucking Giannis, i'm bigger and stronger than everybody so i'm going to bullrush to the basket any time I can to SCORE. Quit playing with me man. Cuz I know you're old enough to have seen this shit.

Lebron got y'alls head fucked up. Every player doesn't have to play like Magic Johnson. Greek didn't need to run an offense, set up players or none of that. He had a POINT GUARD to do that.
I agree with you. The first 5/6 years of Lebron’s career, that’s what he used to do.

No nigga you stop. I never said he couldn't do those things. Never said he didn't have those things in his arsenal. I said his most effective way of scoring was the bullrush. How dare you post one game of "skinny lebron" and use that to "rest your case" cuz one he got his grown man body, he just bulldozed niggas.

@gene cisco

You a Cavs fan but clear your bias. You dare say Lebron scored in the same ways that Kobe and Melo did in those days?

Smh. Sure bro. He was out here using every offensive skill known to man. Y'all are all correct. Lebron was supremely offensively skilled scoring the rock. He was FUN to watch. Learned something new every time he had the ball.:rolleyes:

Difference of opinion is one thing. But to flat out be wrong.. double down on being wrong.. Get shown evidence, then start dancing and moonwalking on some mealy mouth shit while still touting outright bullshit is some Trump level delusional clown shit.

You sound ridiculous man.

Again, never compare he and Yannis scoring skillset again.

Lebron have always been a facilitator first than a scorer and still is. Kobe and Melo are natural scorers. That's why I laugh when people try to compare Lebron and Jordan because they're two different players. To me,Lebron is more Magic than Jordan.

I never really cared for the Knicks but I've always thought he was too loyal to a franchise that never gave him a Robin. He played with a bunch of role players that blame him for not winning a title.

And I agree 100 percent. I am purely referring to scoring. Natural scorers had more way ways of scoring. More skill because they have to be. They didn't possess Lebron's athleticism or strength. Only on BGOL will people argue me down if I said other players were more SKILLED than Lebron scoring wise. Nobody could stop Lebron driving to the basket, NOBODY. So why would he not just attack the basket every time.

Lebron obviously was a great scorer, I mean he's about to be the top scorer of all time. Nobody is debating that.

I see both sides to what both of you are saying; I think @M.H.C. has made valid points and you have as well; I will say Lebron has always been more refined than Giannis; and Giannis may not get there but he definitely tries; and I can appreciate that...

NO. There is no "both sides". And he makes no valid point with the bullshit spewed below. It is all patently false and not in alignment with actual history and truth...

All Lebron did was use his strength and athleticism to bully his way to the basket. He was not out here, crossing folks up, stepping back, elite from 3 point range or none of that.
Like I said, they praised Lebron for the same shit. Praised him for "playing football" and telling everybody else to get their weight up. It's pathetic.
Man that's all Lebron used to do. Batter ram his way to the basket.
From day one? That's complete bullshit. We are talking about SCORING!!! We are not talking about passing or nothing else. All Lebron did was use his strength and athleticism to bully his way to the basket.
All the above are trash takes.


His premise is that Bron scores and scored in identical fashion as Yannis and has an equally limited skillset. He then went on to emphatically state that early LeBron from "day one" scored only by bullrushing and trucking and lacked a actual skill base. This is flat out dog shit take.

I then went and showed his literal first game as a pro and it flat out debunked every "point" he pulled out his ass. Now we are to believe Bron devolved at some point between years 5 and 10 and regressed to the point of being an unskilled brut on the court?? :lol: :confused:

FOH.

That nigga sound like a got dam fool and you sound close to one even remotely trying to validate that fuck shit.

I think the reason,why Lebron stop attacking like he was when he was younger is because the physicality in the paint takes a toll on his body. Even,Kobe and Jordan had to stop doing it all the time when they got older.

You're moving goalposts. Now it's 'once he got his grown man body" he bulldozed cats? But before then, what? How was the 'slim' rookie putting up 20 ppg while being a pass-first guy? "Slim" lebron still averaged over 25ppg while shooting over 47 percent from the field in 04-05. And like everyone under the sky says, was a playmaker FIRST.

So in 2004-05 'slim" bron bulldozed all these cats? :hmm: Go look at him. Far from a freight train.

Again, we are talking superior ball handling skills with the athleticism to get him into the paint where he had the SKILLSET to finish with EITHER hand.

Did he get more polished? Hell yeah, all the greats do. Jordan to Kobe to Bron to Giannis. Lebron's scoring has been always underrated. If he wanted to focus on scoring like Carmelo, who in theeeee fuck was stopping 'Slim" bron from 35 per night? :confused: "Slim" bron did 31 on 48 percent shooting handing out damn near 7 assists and the talk was 'he ain't a scorer like such and such."

Slim bron was so dominant 'experts' had to make up the narrative he wasn't a scorer when he put up better numbers than the 'scorers' while giving out more assists. Vids are there and stats are there from the 'slim' bron era.

I literally showed the guys first game out of high school and he was doing exactly the things THC said he wanst and couldnt do. :lol:

Then he moonwalked to "well he stopped doing it and started bullrushing a few years later".:lol:

Speaking of Lebron, Luka "I can't put the cupcakes down" Doncic is doing his best Lebron impersonation with the Mavericks. Literally has to lead the team in points, assists, and rebounds. :smh: Forget dealing with Phoenix now, also gave those Clippers team all they can handle.

Crazy shit that would be even crazier if he took his conditioning seriously.
