you're seeing things...

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Are you serious? Watch from 0:15. You can clearly see his headband move.

Not threadworthy block imo, think even Mugsy Bouges would have blocked that, but it is Lebron so...

...and he looked at the ref because he got slapped across the face by Terry...


EDIT: lol @ "Paul Pierce shows why he has a reputation for being one of the NBA's top defenders".... yea, if "one of" means one of 100 or more...

I already am the essay champ... no need to act until beaten...

Wait did you just create that pic / "meme" for me? :oldlol:

[plowking]

Looked like Zach Randolph on the play. :oldlol:

In all honesty, just looked like he was out of rhythm on the play, and jumped awkwardly. Not this great demise in athleticism everyone is talking about. Well only SamuraiSwish really... and he does that every new season for Lebron... :oldlol:

[kamil]

Of course he's upset... he read the comments in the youtube video of LeBron* getting punked;

Thats just his hairline receding in real time

I hope he turns it around, but either his conditioning sucks and his legs aren't under him yet or the past few years of deep playoff contention have paid their toll.

In addition to his slashing, cutting, driving game while carrying that kind of frame. Hope this all isn't the case, and it's just him needing to get back in the swing of things physically.

When you're the king of the NBA and winning rings, conditioning could be factor.

Yea and JVG is right, Lebron would normally jump right up/through & over defenders there, i think he surprised even himself he had no lift lol or just underestimated Pierce.

[Trollsmasher]

LeBron almost never jumps high or finishes strong when jumping directly from under the basket.

This is the same way he got a gamewinner stuffed last season in that 2OT game against the Kings.

Lebron is a very big dude, its hard to run diagonally change direction/speed stop slither through traffic/contact and still get a lift all of the sudden... and he never was really that explosive jumping of two feet anyways especially from standstill, he needs to sprint a straight line and take of from that left leg especially, thats where his max vert is, thats where his head ends up above the rim and everybody knows get the hell outta way or be posterised or try flagrant him...

[senelcoolidge]

Dunked on by Evan Turner. Blocked at a critical moment by Pierce. What's next? Someone on the Wizards crosses him over and breaks his ankles.

[CavaliersFTW]

At this rate Torn Achillesbe is gonna have a field day with him this ASG - Lebron's athleticism took a complete nose-dive this summer, he isn't even an average athlete anymore it's like he aged 10 years :oldlol:

[9erempiree]

This block is GIF worthy.

[LosBulls]

LeBron's athleticism is diminishing.

[Asukal]

Nobody beats father time. :cheers:

I think you are exaggerating. This was a mix between just starting the season and the great defense byPierce.

[ballup]

Pretty embarrassing for the most athletic wing in NBA history to be blocked by a player who has always been seen as nonathletic and is in his twilight years.

Young Pierce was an athletic player.

Pierce career highlights. What unathletic players pulls off the dunks he throws down over defenders and in traffic? How can an unathletic guy explode past defenders as consistently as he did? He didn't dunk like Carter or McGrady but he was the athletic equal of just about everyone else of his generation.

[miller-time]

Are people seriously saying this is decline? He had to change direction to side step Pierce, LeBron isn't god, he can't overcome physics.

Haters will jump on anything. He may not jump quite as high as he did at age 20 but he's still well above everyone else.

[jstern]

He did get fouled.

I know he was.

It's basketball blocked shots happen

As does getting crossed up, shook, or ripped. It's part of the game. Get embarrassed and bounce back to do your own damage. Happens to the best of them. This is the most sensible post in this thread besides stating the obvious that LeBron's legs currently look tired.

Yep. Foul.

Still, it's a pretty good block by Pierce.
