can't call yourself a great perimeter player if yah don't have a jumper.
sorry but thats the truth. lebron still cant knock those perimeter shots. he was aweful the last 5 years in that area and damn he sure is making a lot of his detractors look bright by continuing to miss those jumpers in crucial periods of the game.
lebron cant save his damn team in the 4th against a hornets team who doesnt have peja/chandler.
they were giving him those j's and king james is clanking one after the other.
kobe demolished the nuggets again tonight. he was sticking those jumpers in the 4th over kenyon martin,jr smith and anthony carter while he makes melo look like a dummy when he was going in the rack with ease.
sorry to say, lebron may be the stonger and explosive player but he wont take over kobe as the leagues best player/perimeter until he makes opposition pay for not covering him in those mid range jumpers.
this reminds me of the shaq and olajuwon comparison.
hakeem was easily the most fluid and fundamental player like kobe but a lot of people prefers shaq because he was dominating the game with those nasty throw downs like lebron.

its like saying im the best damn rapper but i cant write my own lyrics.
...but, but, but Lebron is quicker, faster, and stronger.![]()
All Cavs fans hate those stepback 25 footers but everyone else on the team was ing up so why not.
LeBron will see more time at the PF position than in years past. It's a pity they didn't stick with LeBron recieving the ball in the high post in the 4th because it was working. He can attack the O boards easier from there and the double digit assist numbers shows how he directs the offense from the high post.
Sure hes great at penetrating from the 3pt line to the hoop but his post game is developing.
At least Shaq has more les than Hakeem.![]()
lebron in the post is a waist of his god given talent. he's better off at the wing or from the top attacking the paint for now because of his speed, strength and great court vision.
shaq do have more les than hakeem, but give olajuwon penny, kobe and wade and im sure he'll end up with more than 2.
give shaq a washed up drexler and he's lucky if he gets one.
He can pass (check some dimes from todays game if you can), face-up and take his man off the dribble or backdown his defender in the post. He will most likely have a mis-match he can exploit with either his size, speed or strength.
