Is Lebron even playing in this game?

[Nick Manning]

I don't even hate him anymore like I did. That hate has switched to Chalmers. But I think if LBJ ever develops a consistent jumper is when he will be really dangerous. I know LBJ would shake the living daylights out of me with little effort, but his moves compared to Rose, Kobe, Wade, Paul, just seem turtle slow. He really reminds me of a bigger version of D. Williams without the jumper, but better at assist and of course.... Other than that to me he is just a big dude with okay, not great handle who can jump out the gym. Wade like Kobe and MJ seems to be just naturally smooth when it comes to moves. And it just so happens you can't develop a gameplan against that.

LBJ's jumper has actually been pretty good in the playoffs. The most criminal aspect of LBJ is that with all those physical tools, the guy has a worse post game than Chris Dudley

lol saying lebron better than jordan

This guy has to be the most scrutinized all time great ever.. He has played so well all playoffs long. Struggled the last 2 games for sure but people act like he's a bum when he is probably the best player in the NBA..

Probably? lol

Lebron should be ashamed of not being able post up consistently at 6'9 260.

Yes. Magic constantly increased the number of times he went into the post as his career moved along. It wasn't always pretty, but it was effective getting some cheap hoops and drawing double-teams.

Lebron's been in the league how many years, and he hasn't added that dimension to his game. No excuse, really.

Had a bad night, shot 3-11 & his team only lost by 3..... I think he & his team will bounce back huge in Game 5!

If by bounce back, you mean gifted 15+ free throws then sure. Maybe then he can break double digits!

Lebron isn't a polished scorer. Not strong in the post, not a good mid-range shooter, and not consistent shooting off the dribble. Most of his points are driving to the basket and shooting wide-open threes. He's basically hasn't improved too much the last few seasons on his scoring ability. He's predictable.

- I'll go one step further. He has NOT progressed in 8 years. He doesn't have to if the refs are not going to call fouls on him on defense, which will allow him to be uber agressive. If you sneeze on him he'll get 663 FTAs, which also allows him to be aggressive. He does not have much of a midrange game either, but hey: he's the king.

Everything you typed is true. Props.

Nothing to see here. Just Lebron pulling a Kobe after Wade humbled him in the post game 3 media frenzy.

Youtube link please? I need to update my signaure.
