You don't have to worry about Lebron breaking Kobe's mark. As soon as that athleticism goes, he's done. His jumper is broke.
LeBron's athleticism has started to diminish already. I watched a game earlier in the year against the Pelicans and when Cunningham was on him he couldn't get by him. Definitely don't see him aging as gracefully as Kobe did (until the Achilles). Kobe was elite until age 34. LeBron probably only has one or two seasons of elite level play left.
C'mon King! You're killin' my fantasy team! Actually he's been solid so far... but that lack of midrange game this season concerns me.
He's smart, and he'll continue to adjust. Still scoring at an impressive clip, and as long as healthy, will continue to deliver. And I say that while not really liking him, or wanting him to break any more of Kobe's records.
That's pathetic on LeBron's part. Kobe is in his 20th season coming off 3 season ending injuries, what's LeBron's excuse? I guess maybe not learning to shoot because he didn't have to under today's rules, barreling to the rim, get fouled or dunk. Yeah, that's a way that'll work playing as you age.
I'm this close to trading you away for peanuts, King. Our fantasy team can't afford this BS all season long. You've been playing like a Byron Scott coached team this Christmas week.
Interestingly enough, Kobe has a higher mid-range FG%, 3P%, and eFG% than Wiggins, but since this guy is sorting it by (imo poor stat) FG%, Kobe is worse than Wiggins.
Provided these are accurate of course I guess if I were somewhere near the prime of my career I wouldn't be too happy to find myself on the list.. otherwise wouldn't be too concerned.
Well, hey, coming into college they were saying Wiggins was the for sure #1 pick and calling him the next LeBron. These stats aren't proving them wrong.
Lebron can't shoot since the start of the 2014-2015 playoffs ( less than 27% outside the paint in the postseason). Imo , Lebron should only play at the PF position , two problems though : - He doesn't want to - Cavs don't have the right C to play next to him on both ends off the floor . That's why Bosh was so important for the Heat and that's why Cavs won't win a title with the current roster ( unless a key player of the West champion got injured)
