I know most of you might throw up when you see who number 5 is on post play skills lol. (Even I'm kind of shocked lol)

This list is awful after Carmelo.

Did I seriously see someone say that Dan Gilbert wouldn't sink the money into his franchise like Mark Cuban did?

The guy traded for Anatwn Jamison and Baron Davis. I don't think he cares about spending the money.

HEEEEY, you finally found this. I was hoping you would... nice. He's still pretty limited. He backs down as far as he can, and if there's any resistance he spins. It's something though, but when I say "he has no post game" I'm speaking more in relation to the rest of his game and his overall level of a player (not necessarily the putrid showing in the finals last year).

Re: The LeBron James Thread

I probably would of done more clips from the finals. But I don't your comment he should back them down all way under the rim. From what I've seen in the pass when he tries to do that. The opponent usually just says sqaure and gets a charge called in his favor about 85 percent of the time. Dallas did this to him severally times in the series. Drawing a few offensive fouls on LeBron.

You forgot a word after "don't" and I can't tell if it's something like "agree" or "disagree" lol. Either way, I think he tries to back them down and if they hold ground he spins. That's what I was saying... limited. Sometimes he doesn't play it out right and runs through people and they get the charge. Bottom line is he's got a lot of work to do on it.

I don't think you need clips from the finals since there aren't many showing him being successful unless I'm forgetting something. I'd say get more of him actually posting up and being successful.

This isn't the greatest example, but look how much more comfortable and smooth Melo is with his moves.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Melo seems to face-up about 89-90% of the time. Not that it's a bad thing. Just pointing it out.

But wwharton in the finals he was double teammed alot more in the in post.

Is anyone still getting virus from nbaplaybook?

At the beginning of the series. Once Dallas realized he wasn't a threat in the post they allowed J. Kidd, Shawn Marion, and even J.J. and Terry to defend him on an island.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Yeah, that excuse that he was double teamed is played out.

Especially when like 90% of the time, he was playing hot potato before the double team ever had a chance of coming.

They were playing him one on one most of the series. Do we forget that they had JASON KIDD defending him in the post ONE ON ONE? Bron would take two steps, realize he wasn't going anywhere and would get rid of it as fast as possible.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

I think the double is a legit excuse. I would still blame LeBron for not attacking more quick instead of getting the ball and waiting. If you watch the different between Melo iso's and LeBron's. LeBron sometimes just sit there and waits too long with the ball.

I really wish some of you could go back and watch all 6 games again. And breakdown each LeBron possession. A lot of the talk is off of memory. I'm not saying you guys memories are not good. But some of the stuff I here is just "what".

I wish LeBron would play soccer. He would be a global icon for sure then.

Really isn't. Every superstar is double teamed. Fact is, LeBron flat out didn't play well. He had iso opportunities in the painted area, he simply didn't take advantage of them.

It's a flat out fact that Dallas allowed JJ, Kidd, Marion, and Terry to defend him one on one 15-20 feet away from the basket.

I'm not quite sure what it is you want me to see? LeBron's inability to take advantage of Jason Kidd, JJ, and Terry defending him? I saw that. Plenty of times. I also saw Lebron get rid of the ball so quickly later on in the series you'd think he were a role player.

**jeebs9** · 08-08-2011, 11:20 AM

Re: The LeBron James Thread

And I'm ok with that. Only thing like I said I wish LeBron did more was attack those double teams.

**1Rose** · 08-08-2011, 11:23 AM

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Or attack period?

Most memorable LeBron moment.

LeBron 2 feet away from the rim, about to lay it up. Dumps it to Juwan Howard.

I'm on the side of you guys, but that was a good (and the right) pass.
