    It's obvious you've never attended college because if you had you would've had to take logic and implication, something you obviously know nothing about.

    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 much or 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.

    1) LeBrons style of play from his rookie year and first few years compared to T-Mac's first years in the league are very similar. LeBron is now starting to take more jumpshots, but it is still similar to McGrady with less chucking.
    But we're not talking about LeBron's rookie year, you're claiming he's going to decline now because T-Mac did....

    2) He is well-rounded. He can pass, rebound, score, but he cannot shoot midrange shots consistently or long shots consistently.
    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....

    This may come to a surprise to you.. but you don't have to have a history to become injury prone.
    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?

    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.
    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....

    Not to mention you continuously ignore my "39%" statement.
    You ignored his 53% on all jumpshots and 46% from 16-23 feet....

    Seriously, take that logic/implication course, it'll help you not sound like a complete moron when you debate with someone.
    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...

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

    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
