Hallmark/Career Point/Everest doesn't count brah
Do you really not understand why the le of this thread makes no sense and makes even less sense once you start spewing your re ed nonsense?![]()
See, if you had said "LeBron will have a shortened career due to his play style" and then give examples of him getting beat on in the paint or knocked down while driving with supporting evidence, while I still wouldn't agree, I could see the logic in the premise and conclusion. However, saying he is the next T-Mac makes zero sense because of their play-styles being different, one of them being injury prone early in his career and the other never missing considerable time, and the fact that LeBron is infinitely more accomplished than McGrady could dream of being. The whole argument changed to LeBron not being effective in a few years because he doesn't have a consistent midrange game (although you said longrange before and that he wasn't a good jump shooter despite his 53% clip and 41% from the arc, you instead cherry-pick the 15-25 feet stat so you can now focus on the term "midrange"), when the midrange shot is discouraged in today's NBA and the majority of NBA players don't have a consistent midrange game is just re ed.
Really it comes down to you getting shat on and moving the goal posts of your argument numerous times and then resulting in deflection attempts and ad hominem. Seriously, take that logic/implication course, it'll help you not sound like a complete moron when you debate with someone. T-Mac is completely the wrong player to reference here, bringing him up makes your argument look completely re ed and makes you look like a dumb that can't make a legitimate comparison

So, in essence, your opinion is that LeBron will either suck in the future because he gets injured from dunking too muchor that since he only shoots 39% from 15-25 feet he will not "live up to his potential" in a few years, which basically amounts to older players need a consistent midrange game or they're scrubs in your eyes.

But we're not talking about LeBron's rookie year, you're claiming he's going to decline now because T-Mac did....
And yet, the stats show that you're wrong.... not to mention, the midrange jump shot is the least efficient shot in basketball, and more and more coaches are waking up to this fact and encouraging their players to take less of them....2) He is well-rounded. He can pass, rebound, score, but he cannot shoot midrange shots consistently or long shots consistently.
It's true that freak injuries can happen, but you're trying to correlate the possibility of that with LeBron dunking and not chucking up lots of inefficient midrange shots.... let's say he injures his knee or something while playing defense - by your logic, if he had only dunked less in his career and taken more midrange jumpers, this hypothetical injury could have been avoided, even though it has nothing to do with offense.... do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?This may come to a surprise to you.. but you don't have to have a history to become injury prone.
I mentioned GNSF not because I hate the Spurs or think they suck (on the contrary, I have plenty of respect for the Spurs and Duncan's one of my all-time favorite players), but because - whether this was your intention or not - you come across in this thread as one of the butthurt homers upstairs who refuse to give LeBron any credit and root for his decline because you're still bitter that you lost to him.... let's be real - you're hoping he falls off and becomes injury-prone, not predicting.... and frankly, it's okay if you hate a player that much, but you should just own it and admit it instead of making re ed threads like these to obscure the real reason....Kind of ironic though how you say I'm just repeating "Clippers suck" (which they do), yet you are the one continuing to state "gnsf" because that's the only back-up you have.
You ignored his 53% on all jumpshots and 46% from 16-23 feet....Not to mention you continuously ignore my "39%" statement.

It would also help you not make arguments that are riddled with logical fallacies, such as ad hominem attacks ("you're a Clipperfan, so your argument is automatically wrong"), post hoc fallacies ("LeBron dunks a lot so any injury he has later in his career is caused by him dunking"), red herrings (distracting from your re ed T-Mac comparison by bringing up midrange jump shots and other people's teams), etc...
This got may have worst poster of the month locked up with this display of hurtlebron ain't going down anytime soon, keep dreaming son
Pretty much ended the thread with this...no wonder this guy cherry picked that numberYou ignored his 53% on all jumpshots and 46% from 16-23 feet....![]()
I just trolled you guys way too hard. Mission accomplished.![]()
Taking a page from Lakerfan and the "baited " schtick?

No, you were actually serious until you realized that nobody was going to agree with you, hence the classic"I was just trolling"

Yeah dude...... no.
Bumping this take for the world to see.... yes, a freak accident is really evidence that he's declining

this thread literally makes no sense
If Lebron were to stop playing now he'd be a top 10 player of all time undoubtedly. Maybe top 5 still. He has been dominant for long enough that the rest of his career is just padding his resume, he's already established as one of the greatest to ever do it
