Better spot up shooter, better at getting into the desired position to receive the ball, better at establishing deep post position, better cutter, better trailer on the break

You won't ever see the Heat wasting away 18 seconds of a clutch time possession by trying to get LeBron the ball, because he can't outmuscle Tony Allen. It's almost a regular thing to see in OKC games.

:durantunimpressed:I'll take LeBron as the trailer on a break over Durant anyway. Quickness/strength ftw

of course KD's a better shooter though... not sure what OP is talking about there

Not sure what KDs numbers are but I was kind of surprised when I saw this vid talking about lbj's catch and shooting.

Yeah, he is shit at shooting anything else currently, but when it comes to strictly catch and shooting, he has been TOP 5 in the entire league in the last two seasons.

Lebron isn't an off-ball player at all, so he can't better than anybody at this aspect.

It's pretty obvious that Lebron would not allow someone to deny him the ball like that as Lebron is quicker, faster, and stronger than Durant.

LeBron is so much better without the ball than people recognize. He likes to post up, and when the defender fronts, he will order the ball handler to swing it to the other side of the court, then he will shift to the other block and have super deep position for the catch and quick score. That move alone gets him more points per game than all of Durant's off-ball antics.

Statistically it's true I think but I wouldnt put money Lebron making a spot up jumpshot over Durant.

The OP is right by the way. Durant's ability to get denied is cringe worthy.

Lebron is not a better off ball player. Maybe at getting the ball in his hands due to size and speed but Durant gives his defender hell. He runs through screens better and all over the floor Durant is definetly a better spot up shooter.

I'm pretty sure Durant can reach guitars on the wall at GC that are slightly higher than the ones LeBron can get. He's like 2" taller with more wingspan, so it's expected.

Otherwise, you're 100% correct.
