Not even close. Lebron FG percentage when shooting less than 5 feet away from basket:
SHOT DISTANCE/LESS THAN 5 FEET: 80%
2008-9 Lebron.
:rolleyes:
Lebron uses his size and strength to bully lower sized players...and maintains control.

Look at this GIF. Lebron initiates contact with the defender and can control his body.
Interestingly, Lebron developed/learned a new layup package from Kyrie Irving.
See GIF above.
Another example: https://media.giphy.com/media/UgEQiZ9bNaaA0/giphy.gif
Lebron is the greatest player when it comes to transition fastbreaks. Lebron takes ALOT of contact and still manages to make it in. :bowdown: Combined with his HIGH-IQ passing, Lebron is deadly from both ends.

Lebron kicks the ball out to Wade using his cannon arm. Defenders must try to contain Lebron on the fastbreak or else the opposing team get this: https://media.giphy.com/media/dtXiWGrE61tqE/giphy.gif
Lebron's athletic gifts and superior passing that can be compared to the likes of Magic makes him the DEADLIEST transition player in the game.
EDIT: Zion is also injury-prone. Notice that Zion has too much weight and he lands incorrectly on his heels. Recipe for disaster.
Lebron does the OPPOSITE, in fact, landing on his toes first and making his strides long to sustain his body from any major injuries whatsoever.

Again, a 14 year old wouldn't post this long in a discussion. Use different accounts for arguments.

in one word = NOPE
but his game is similar to Barkley's and it could develop into something special... only time will tell.
Barkley was a vastly different build though. Barkley had a lot of weight, it seems, from like his sternum to his knees. He had a lot of 'core weight.' Not that Zion doesn't, too, but he has a lot of weight that's not balanced, like someone who went in super hard on weights. That's probably why people say he runs weird and jumps weird, because his weight was put on his body. He had a wide frame to start with, but the way his body distributes weight is more 'athletic' where as Barkley, even tho he was athletic, had a more beefy natural distribution. I dunno if that makes sense haha... but that's why I feel dude is gonna get catastrophically injured if he doesn't do something.

I am impressed by Zion's ability to finish at the rim but compare him to Lebron?
Only one that is CLEAR CUT better than Lebron at finishing was Michael Jeffrey Jordan.

Damn kid, you're almost as smart as I was at 14.
Keep that brain active, you've got potential. :applause:

Kyrie Irving and Derrick Rose are better at penetrating and are flashier.
Better finishers at the rim? Not a chance in the world. Prime Lebron absolutely shits on them.
Manu Ginobili? Has Shawn Kemp even made a layup, Larry Bird? Got you are such a low iq inbred incel:lol :lol :lol
