Somebody is madReeeeeally mad.
LeBron's strength is not his shooting, but he is still very good at it. LeBron has a better ALL-AROUND game than Bean could have dreamed
of at 24. That's truth that cannot be denied.
Now when Lebron gets into his mid-thirties, he will be probably be one of those players more in line with a Karl Malone type game.
I wouldn't be surprised if in his 34-40 years old part of his career, he's a consistent top 5 rebounder in the league, as he brings his game more
towards a pure PF type game.
Dude has so much potential.

Or his 29-7-7 last year at the age of 23?

LeBron's had to do more and he's done it.
That's the facts.
Last time I checked
More > Less

Thank you for bolding exactly the point of the thread...and what I said originally. He can improve...most likely will but he's NOT completetoday....and if that remains he won't be as dominant. End o story.Originally Posted by RUDOLPH1996

You can't look at a career year...this is EASILY his best year so far....and say oh he's improving. If he had been showing that steady improvement over the course of his career leading up to this....ok I'd agree. But when you have been showing a steady decline and all the sudden have a breakout year....usually doesn't mean more of the same is going to continue. Furthermore, in general, improvements more than likely won't show in stats. Anyone watching Bron play should be able to tell he's improved on his already ridiculous ability to drive and finish. But as far as adding other aspects to his scoring game...hasn't happened yet. Which is why the question was even posed in the first place. Wade has carried his team on his back and we've seen improvements on his offensive game. Melo, sans the last couple years, had to carry his team on his back...and we've seen improvements on his offensive game. So carrying your team isn't an excuse. It's great that he can dominate now with the game he has but for a continued career of dominance he's got to address the holes in his game. Of course because it's LeBron it's a sin to suggest that he has holes in his game. He's 24 so yea he has plenty of time to improve but if he hasn't by now....whats to definitively say he will? Most of the time this far in a career you KNOW what you are going to get from a player.
The only thing in this rant worth mentioning...
I can clearly recall ( but not on NT.) folks questioning Kobe and MJ at this age and saying the same thing about limitations, areas of improvement.... they did pretty well as they got to 28,29,30... ect.
And, as someone else said... Bron will have the eye popn stats when it is said and done... He will be judged by championshipS that are won or not.

this is a crazy post.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
