    Again what does any of that have to with "at this stage" in relation to Lebron who has played more years than any of the guys you mentioned?
    LeBron is past his prime, does anybody expect him to be more "polished" than he was at his peak?

    FYI: LeBron was at his absolute peak at 28, Westbrook is 27.

    What does "polish" have to do with peak? Jordan was more "polished" with his footwork as he got older and truly mastered his fade-away and post play ... Same with Karl Malone.

    Players at their peak have less need to be as polished ...if James is past his peak as you say ...then shouldnt he be working to further polish his game to make up for his diminishing athleticism?

    Thing that is funny kstorm, you keep responding to me ... but I am the one that was arguing SOME parts of his game IS polished. I just think the examples you are using to defend (if that is your goal) James here, are poor ones, relative to what Hit was saying.

    Furthermore the reason why Lebron is a much greater player than Russ despite russ being a "mini Lebron athletically" is because James IS POLISHED at the things I mentioned in the earlier post.

    I'm not defending LeBron, I was just putting Westbrook in the same category based on the OP's point about Bron stuffing the stat sheet which is Russ's specialty.

    Casual fans point to Westbrook leading the league in triple doubles EVERY TIME anyone criticizes him, the same goes for Lebron in the 2015 Finals.

    Lebron is on the decline, idk how much longer he can keep playing just barreling to the basket. I read on BR i think hes shooting like 28% outside the paint. Hes the worst shooter that's considered a super star that I have ever seen. And OP still sucking him off like his life is depending on that semen. I will admit though, he is the engine that moves that team.

    Through the first two games against Golden State, LeBron has attempted just 12 shots from outside the paint, making just three. That means jumpshots have made up just 31.6 percent of his field goal attempts, with a 37.5 effective field goal percentage.

    That's kind of what I'm talking about. Bull rushing to the rim and stiff-arming anyone out of his way is still the crux of Lebron's game and that's not going to fly as he gets older. In Game 3 he kept driving and missed 3-4 shots in a row and they all bricked off the backboard and didn't even hit rim because he had no explosiveness off the dribble. As that athleticism keeps fading he's going to need some offensive skill to fall back on. Lebron can play in the post since he can bully most defenders (except great defenders like Kawhi and Iggy) but he's not what I call a true post player where he has multiple moves on the block that he can go to except for a fadeaway.

    Jordan became more polished after his prime.

    That said I don't expect Lebron to get anymore polished moving forward.

    Btw who cares if he's polished. He doesn't have to because he is that over powering.

    Lebron does not have any post skills imho,like you said, his size and strength is what gets him those easy buckets in the paint, but the second he see's a good defender, hes shrinking awfully quick. his shot is ugly, he has no fluidity, and his footwork is subpar.

    He didn't show up when they needed him. He got free layups at the end when the game was out of reach.

    Oh he is, preparing the defense for ...
    The people vs LeBron James

    Much like Johnnie C, he will try to distract the jury by focusing on Kobe, some juked stats, the race card, twinkie and Chewbacca defense. Ignoring the fact he committed a double homicide on his own top 3 legacy and the hopes and dreams of the city of Cleveland ...

    For all the stats Lebron puts up he's one of the most unpolished players I've seen at this stage in his career. His stats suggest he had a great Game 3 but it was anything BUT great. It was one of the ugliest games I've ever seen from him. Once his team got him a sizeable enough lead the pressure went away and Bron padded like the typical frontrunner. Draymond Green is another player whose stats are deceiving. He likes to show his ass when his team is up and everything is going great but when everyone is missing and GS looks like dog he'll shrink into the background and shut the up
    Im Jermaine/Chulo an i approve this post!

    I agree Lebron is a good finisher (well, used to be) and a great passer but his in-between game is so damn mediocre. I've lost count how many times I've seen him get caught in no man's land from 15-18 feet, look indecisive and then pass to a three point shooter who's already blanketed by a defender to bail him out. Even with a midget like Curry on him he does this. His post game is basically his in-between game and that's nothing to write home about either. Still at this stage in his career, no counters, no footwork, just an ugly prayer if he gets deep enough. Kawhi has been in the league only 4-5 seasons and his post game looks far more polished than Lebron's. Same goes for his midrange game as well.
    It's like Lebron saw this post and said "I'm gonna show Killa what hitman was talking about".

    Brian Windbag suggests Dr. Dray might get suspended: http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2016...reen-suspended

    ...yet the unanimous MVP gets roughed up purposely by the Kang and his minions all series.

    LeHype stepped over him on purpose, basically instigating the dust up. him if Dr. Dray gets suspended tbh.
