LeBron's locked in on defense

There is literally nothing better than watching LeBron in high school when his jumper is on. His game against Ariza right after he got reinstated after his ridiculous suspension is one of the best performances I have ever seen.

The obvious douchebag such as myself would state that Carroll was a corpse that series and LeBron BETTER HAVE HAD his best defensive series against him.


But 48% is a high % regardless. That means half the time your man gets the ball you stop him and don't even force the team to use its help defense.

I can think of something in two weeks that would be better.

You can't not watch that video. LeBron did Ariza dirty that game. If that jumper from LeBron shows up....

I'd argue the reason LeBron's jumper is gone is because of Damon Jones.

Dude is a clown. An overpaid, underwhelming "coach"

Bring back Chris Jent. LeBron's jumper in high school looks worlds better (form wise) than what he always reverts back to.

I agree, LeBron's jumper looks totally different than last year on the Heat, and has really regressed. If Damon Jones is the one who is responsible he needs to GTFO.

Jent hasn't been LeBron's shooting coach for several years. Who was his shooting coach with the Heat?

 

[lov3]

Well LeBron did shoot above his career average from 3 this year. He also shot better this year than any year previously when he was Cleveland

I remember this like it was yesterday.

the secret to Lebron getting the cavs to the finals has to be the new hair. He feels better about himself and that will lead to his best finals performance ever. Go the transplant, not just the hair

Oscar Robertson is not even close to the best PG in NBA history (Magic, Isiah, and Stockton were all better, and I would argue a few others as well) and is severely overrated. He played in the 60s (and early 70s), a time when the average NBA player was 6'5 and 65% of the league was white. He only has 1 championship, which was with probably the second greatest player of all time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, in 1971 when there were only 17 teams in the entire league. Before he teamed up with Kareem, Oscar led his team to records of 33 wins, 43 wins, 42 wins, 55 wins (good), 48 wins, 45 wins, 39 wins, 39 wins, 41 wins, and 36 wins.

And his stats were extremely inflated. Besides playing a weak league, teams played at a much higher pace than they do today and players played a boatload of minutes, both of which led to crazy stats.

If we were to take Oscar's famous triple double average season (1962) and "modernize" it by putting it in the context of 94.8 possessions per game (the pace the Cavs play at) instead of 124.7 possessions per game (what his Royals played at) and then bringing down his minutes per game from 44.3 to a much more reasonable 38 minutes per game (which would still be second in the league today), his averages would be:

20.9 ppg / 7.4 apg / 8.1 rpg

Because of the ridiculous pace/minutes played and the state of the league back then, I think the older players (mainly before the 1980s) are overrated in general.

Jerry Lucas once told me that Oscar Robertson was a stat stuffer and that his sole purpose in life was to make sure that Oscar never got another rebound.

He said that "if Oscar got more than half of his 32/10/10 in the first half, we'd win the game because he'd play the right way. If he got less than half of that, we'd lose the game because he would go after his 32/10/10."

Ok, sorry. I appreciate LeBron. He has brought us back to relevance and given this city its first real shot at a title since the 90s (or arguably the '07 Indians).

But... Yeah, no. A sprain does not last "all season" or even longer than 4 weeks. So if he's trying to cover for his poor shooting, that's a hell of an attempt.

But no.
