Michael Jordan: LeBron cant go left......

[mehyaM24]

lebron then proceeds to hit SEVEN game winners..............going left. nice analysis mikey. dude still thinking his shitty competition applies to lebron ****ing james :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

Let's just ignore the possibility that LeBron consciously worked on finishing drives to his left after hearing Jordan's comments...

So your hate for Jordan overshadows your hate for Lebron?

Jordan > Lebron > Wade >>>>>Kobe

He didnt. It was a bad scouting report. Lebron should be stopped from driving so give him space and hope he bricks a jumper.

[Smook A.]

Michael Jordan > LeBriana Jamie

[ZenMaster]

Said he's more likely to pull up when going left, which is true.

lebron is left handed....

He's weirdly ambidextrous from what I remember. Writes and does everyday things with his left hand but shoots with his right... maybe that's why his jumper is so unreliable :eek: epiphany...

Nope, that was vs the Bulls last year.

Was the final shot to keep the Heat in the game, LeBron missed and they lost.

You'd know that if you watched the games.

I've got to be honest man, we remain enemies but I respect you as a poster a hell of a lot more than I used to. You used to just go all out with mindless hatred but you have much better content these days.

Did the embarrassment from wussing out of that avy bet put the fear of god in you?

Oh shit I couldve sworn it was during their first season together. He did miss a gamewinner vs the bulls that year but come to think of it it was a jumpshot from the top of the key and not the baseline.

[DonDadda59]

Actually, that's not what he said. THIS is what he said:


"When LeBron goes right, he usually drives; when he goes left, he usually shoots a jumper. It has to do with his mechanics and how he loads the ball for release.

"So if I have to guard him," Jordan says, "I'm gonna push him left so nine times out of 10, he's gonna shoot a jump shot. If he goes right, he's going to the hole and I can't stop him. So I ain't letting him go right."

34 year old poor man's Jordan putting the theory to the test with handchecking not too long after MJ's comments:

Looks like he was right (pun intended) :lol

Yup you are right

[Prometheus]

ill admit his jumper is shaky when the 3 ball aint falling, but to say dude cant go left? that is shitty analysis from jordan.

All he really said was that the man is more likely to shoot a jumper when he goes left. We all know LeBron heard those comments... is it really that unlikely that he made a conscious effort thereafter to prove MJ wrong? Or that defenders believed it so much that they played him harder to his right?

He has been a great finisher to his left for a long time, long before Jordan's comments. I thought it was dumb then bc he almost seems to prefer going left. Just stay off him and make him shoot, usually does pretty well tbh.

Maybe if you are going to make a thread bashing someone for a quote you should read that quote first.

Comon guys, if you're gonna throw shit against the wall, make sure you read the damn quote before calling MJ and his disciples out :oldlol:

MJ was absolutely right, and if you wanted to add to what he said you could say that giving Lebron space and forcing him to shoot a jumpshot is another way you can defend him.

1. A lot of experts said it was true. (Pulling up when he went left)
2. I thought that Jordan saying it would cause Lebron to work on it.

3. Op's style seems so immature. His logic too, I mean, even if Lebron didn't work on it, it doesn't mean he's going to miss 100% of his shots when Lebron goes left.

[Indian guy]

It's depressing that people don't know something so basic about the game's biggest player. LeBron has ALWAYS been better going left. He dribbles better with his left hand, finishes better with his left hand, is more explosive driving left and thus, prefers going left. And yes, he shoots most of his jumpers going left(like ALL right handed players, it's easier to square up), that does not mean that's all he does when he goes left. LeBron's more likely to drive the ball all the way to the rack even when he does go left. That's his bread and butter move. ESPN did an entire piece debunking MJ's scouting report last year. Just google it.

[plowking]

Same people arguing about the same shit... just in different threads.

Mj just said that there is a big chance when Lebron is going left hea going to make a jumpshot. Hes not wrong Lebron does that. It doesnt mean hes gonna do the same thing all the time.

[PHILA]

"When LeBron goes right, he usually drives; when he goes left, he usually shoots a jumper. It has to do with his mechanics and how he loads the ball for release.
Based on the sample of games from 1990-92, it seems to be the opposite for Jordan. Driving right, he was more likely to pull up for a jump shot. But driving left, he was more likely to go all the way to the basket, and also turned the ball over more than twice as much as he did going right. However this only tell us so much, without specifying the player's tendencies against certain types of defensive schemes.



http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=317950

*Jordan's shooting tendencies & effectiveness when making a move off the dribble either to the left or right. Also recorded turnovers in each of these instances, including stolen pass outs, offensive fouls, getting stripped by the defense, or being forced into a jump ball (and possession lost).

He's never been a slouch going left, but you are all on meth if you actually think he's BETTER to his left. If he gets a step to his right he has the GOAT one-legged tomahawk. Everyone knows you can't let Bron drive to his right.
