    Lebron Athleticism Is So Overrated

    Where do all these so called reporters and nba analysts think he is athletically gifted?
    I completely disagree

    1.Not explosive to the basket, slow, awkward and clumsy, fumbles ball a lot
    2. Not good at creating his own shot
    3. No hang time
    4, not an explosive jumper
    5. cannot post up
    6. Cannot operate in traffic

    He is a powerful type player. good rebounder, passer, defender

    I think being built like a fukkin rock and break away slam dunks gives him the label of being a great athlete

    I am not one of the guys starting to think he is a little overrated

    Not an explosive jumper?!?

    Come on coach. You got some valid points, but don't say the man isn't an explosive jumper.

    An explosive jumper is a guy like Kobe in his prime, Westbrook, Rose, Jordan and others
    He can power dunk but it is not quick and explosive
    he rarely can dunk over a guy when driving

    He cannot do much in traffic like the big timers can

    Cannot get clear looks when guarded tight

    He was really exposed

    He is clumsy in the paint and driving to the hole.

    No

    Watch the films
    If he was a great athlete like Westbrook he would have clear layups and easy hoops

    He looks slower also

    Jj is correct when he mentions no post up game, clumsy with the ball at times, can't create his own shot (well), and not great in traffic.

    I agree with all of those points, but the first two the most.

    agree with JJ. Lebron is best when he actually has the ball in his hands at the top of the key. He wasn't coached or learned well in the basic fundamentals.

    He needs more touch in his shots.

    He's hot and cold. I don't think anyone would dispute that his J is not near as polished as a Kobe or even D-Wade. Hell, take a look at his FT percentages compared to those with the smooth strokes.

    Coach, one of your better recent posts.

    James = clumsy, not fluid. Spoelstra also got exposed this series. Spoelstra too stubborn, didn't nurture talents over course (season).

    yes, agree with jj he just bulls his way to the basket fouling and traveling most of the time..he is strong and has a halfway decent shot but is slowing down already and is and always will be a notorious choke artist...cleveland was lucky to rid themselves of this prima donna....

    I think he needs to go into gym everyday in summer and learn a new game

    posting up down low
    Driving
    short pull up jumpers

    His isolation game is too erratic and clumsy

    I think he has dominated just because of his strength and size but it is now catching up to him

    The only reason they Beat Bulls is because James hit very low percentage bombs that 75% of the time he misses
