Describe this Lebron dribble/fadeway sequence

[Hoopz2332]

We've seen the Jordan turnaround fadeaway and Kobe's take on that same move but how would one describe Lebrons added dribble move to it? I've seen him do it many times but these are the only 2 I can remember off the top of my head.

He's got way to much muscle to be doing that now like he did with the Cavs.

He exchanged speed and footwork for brute force and power for lane driving.

The latter has made him 10x better.

Some other ones


Notice the added dribble

This one doesn't have that dribble sequence that distinguishes it from the typical Jordan/Kobe style fade

I've seen him do the shot/move still since he's been in MImai. Example

Might just be me, since I watch nearly every Heat game, but that is a staple of Lebron's game when he posts up a little further from the basket and can't go middle due to double teams in the post.

He uses that shot a lot, as does Wade.

I think you're refering to his basic fadeaway. This one has like a extra dribble sequence added to it that gives it a different feel.

[raprap]

I like his triple threat position from the high block then fade away shot. I think he needs to improve that and make it deadly.

As a Miami Heat fan, I call this the "dumbass shot, go to the damn paint" move

Lebron's no bigger or stronger than he was his last two Cleveland years.

those are totally different IMO.

[diamenz]

it's just a half spin into a fadeaway - there's really no need for him to take the extra dribble (it's better to protect the ball instead imo), but if it makes him more comfortable in his shot, then more power to him. mj and kobe have used it a lot in the past.

1 word "ugly":lol

[BoutPractice]

It's a great move, I use it a lot. The dribble distracts the defense and puts you in a good rhythm for the fadeaway.

on both moves he picked up his pivot foot before the dribble

[brantonli]

Got nothing against James, but I really don't like looking at his jumpshot. Maybe I've been watching too many Thompson/Allen/Curry vids but LeBron's jumper is good but ugly.
