He's an inside, Shaq like presence. Dominates from the post and as the roll man. Outside shooting comprises of a small subset of his game.. He's not a jump shooter like Kobe or Michael. He's a more athletic Magic Johnson. Karl Malone meets Magic Johnson.

LeBron's a better outside shot than Magic, but probably not as good as Malone. He's streaky.. He's got the floor general capacity of Magic, and the physical inside toughness of a Malone... In a uber athletic tweener frame.

He is not an outside shooter. He certainly thrives as a playmaker from the outside, as has been proven every year considering the fact that he's been primarily playing on the perimeter his whole career and been considered one of, if not the best in the world for 9 years or so.

The way he's playing right now is pretty amazing, despite his outside shot not being there. His evoltion as an off-ball threat... Some of his cuts to the basket, roll man plays... Beautiful.

He has the basketball IQ to adapt his game, something which Kobe lack and why he was irrelevant for the last 5 years of his career.

This is actually a good point that I feel has gone somewhat unnoticed. In Miami he seemingly had no real reason to work too much on that (somewhat underrated) part of his game with Wade boosting his own off-ball play, but this has always been the part of LBJ's game I most wanted him to implement more. It's valuable that he's improved on this to give himself some plays off and let Kyrie run the offense a bit more.

Anyone who played ball knows that its easier to be shaq than it is to be curry. And that who bran is. His skills arent advanced and thus get exposed when it matters. 2/6

Yeah he has finally learnt. If he actually went to college we could have seen this in 2007 and he could be playing for his 9 straight championship, oh well.

Common man... really? Being agile, 7 foot 2, 300lbs and that athletic and skilled is not easy.

So you're saying Kobe is better because he has down syndrome?

Ok

being agile is not skill, its athleticism . If you played like shaq with the body of curry, you would have no place in this league.

And that attitude drove Shaq out of Orlando. You guys would make great GMs.

There was one Shaq. In the next 20 years you will see more Curry clones than Cleveland fans stapling their LeBron jerseys back together.

WTF man. Shaq is based on luck. He was born with that body. But in terms of skill, its easier to be shaq than to be curry.

Yeah genetic lottery has something to do with it, but orignally you said it was easier to be Shaq than Curry. I guess I see where your coming from, but you didn't word it very well.

Curry wouldn't play like that if he was 7 foot. And think about how may 7 footers have never been anything like Shaq. Essentially all of them, ever.
