If you have seen one of their games, it has become more potent.
Is he taking a page out of Kerr's play book , or just seeing the game as a veteran :confusedshrug:

Jason Kidd was a master of this as well as other top point guards in the history of the league.
Controlling the game from a 'see' the play unfold mentality... I am sure Majic Johnson is watching this with admiration.

LeBron has always been that way. If anything Kerr (utilizing Draymond) took a page from LeBron's playbook.

Don't forget he came into the league as a "PG" and was listed (if I remember right), as our PG his rookie season.

Lebron has entered that stage of his career where he is doing things that we praised Magic and Bird for. He has basically perfected the "science" of basketball. He understands the game in ways right now that few others do and knows how to control it without dominant scoring. Magic and Bird could have 15 points, and it was clear that they were still the most important players on the floor, and that is where Lebron is right now. He's shown glimpses of that in previous seasons also. While he can still be physically imposing when necessary today, he is attacking the game with his intellect more than ever these days.

Questionable mental fortitude in certain situations aside, he really is a once in a millennium basketball talent. He just keeps evolving in different ways.

Would give anything to see him play a couple games on the Spurs. He'd be perfect.

Not fully understanding the title, but okay, Lebron is good for the Cavs offense.

Wouldn't we need to have been playing basketball for a millennium in order to make such a statement? Did you mean generational?

Let's say you meant hundred years. He's not the only incredible talent to come along. MJ, Wilt, Shaq, etc.

Please refrain from using sound logic on this message boards.:facepalm

The recipients more often than not try to use it in real life, and it doesn't come out right, resulting in laughs at their expense.

And before one of you cheeky little ***** tries to interject, no I am NOT speaking from personal experience.

From the ESPN article posted in OP:


"James has 37 assists in just the past three games; 22 of them set up 3-pointers and 13 of them set up layups or dunks. In none of the three games has James led the team in scoring."

This is why I don't watch today's NBA - if you compare Lebron's boring assists for spot-up 3-pointers, to say, Magic's assists from back in the day, Magic's are FAR more exciting.. Nearly any type of assist is more exciting than a dime for a spot-up 3-pointer.. You guys just don't know shit about the game, so you're enthralled by 3-pointers.. It's pathetic
