first and foremost, I think that LeBron is the best player in the NBA right now( even though my screen name is for kobe) Dude is just a monster. anyway, itspretty obvious that his athleticsim is main sorce of his scoring. hes got no j as of now(getting better though, but will he keep it up?). Guys like Kobe and MJcan play/played until thier mad old, since thier athleticism isn't the only way they can score. Kobe and MJ use footwork so well that they can get a goodshot off whenever they want.

IMO, i think that as lebron's athleticism deteriotes, hes going to have to adjust. he probly have to devlope a post up game if he wants to play in the Luntil hes in his older 30s

You do know Jordan and Kobe weren't the shooters they were early in their career that they were in the later part of their career?

I wouldn't say that. He has gotten better already, and I think he has the work ethic to get there.

He'll need to develop a post fadeaway like Michael and Kobe have.

OOOOkkkkk....




Anyways, I see LeBron developing a game similar to Jamison when he gets older. He'll have to lose weight at some point though to remain effective
 
I personally feel like a post game would benefit Lebron more just cause hes huge and he can pass/handle the ball well. His ball handling/passing abilities willget him far.

actaul i didn't know that about MJ(too young to really analyze his game) but i do remeber watch kobe when he was younger. sure he wasn't nearly asgreat of a shooter he is now, but when he was 24, he was shooting 38% from the 3 and 85% from the ft. Kobe, when he was 24, was defintaly a better shooter thanlebron is right, now at 24

but PP has great foot work(lebron better work on his) and body Control(lebron is great that tho)

work ethic has nothing to do with lebron never going to be a good shooter that ugly %#! form of his will never allow him to be a good one
 
LOL he'll be fine. Y'all dudes talk like Bron doesn't have the work ethic to work on his game.

We've already seen him expand his repertoire..what makes you think he'll just suddenly stop working on his game and improving?

No actually we can't forget because it's talked about every time he's mentioned. It'll be funny when he gets to 28 and stillhasn't added more facets to his game and people will be saying, hey he's only 28. What has he really added in his 6 years thus far offensively. Hestill relies 80%+ on his athleticism. His jumper is improving, but he's not by any stretch of the imagination a good shooter and he has no post game tospeak of, so I think this isn't such an outlandish question. I mean you look at his counterparts from the same draft: Wade and Melo have noticeably addeddifferent aspects to their game.

Since when do stats tell the whole story?
 
and he'll be cementing his place this spring and summer as the best player in the world

what does it really matter what he has or doesn't have?

He's got enough.
What has he really added in his 6 years thus far offensively. He still relies 80%+ on his athleticism.
no words for this. not even getting into it. too outlandish.

You can't even begin to compare Lebron's ability to get to the basket his rookie year and now
