The marvel that is the basketball IQ of LeBron James

[TheGoatest]

Just look at him conduct this play here, where he completely sees the game happening two plays later and not just one:

https://images4.imagebam.com/03/2d/43/ME5VV1S_o.gif

Points to Monk to make the pass to Westbrook so that Monk can make an easier pass, since Monk isn't really a great passer. And before Westbrook even gets the ball, LeBron is on his way to cut to the basket for an easy 2.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59RSLhdGWQM

This game against the Nets was also an excellent example to destroy the hater circle-jerking claim that he can't play off the ball. He must've made like 8-10 layups that were all generated by his off the ball movement.

What I see there is a rare high IQ play by Westbrook.

It's called getting a better angle for the post entry feed - elementary school kids are taught that - it's a standard play that everyone that ever played basketball has used.

Lebron is a plodding, slow, clunky and bulky player that cannot play off-ball.

Infact, his time of possession against the Nets was 6.1 minutes, which is the same as Westbrook - so that's 2 guys with a point guard hold-time, which gives teammates less hold-time and assists then they get in traditional 1 point guard lineups.. Lower teammate assists results in low TEAM assists and a brand that struggles on the championship level.

Great post OP, I actually mentioned this play in the game thread. Lebron was running the offense without the ball in the post...never seen anyone play quarterback in the NBA like Lebron does except for Magic.

What I see there is a rare high IQ play by Westbrook.

Switching teams 5 times and forming super teams and still only 4 titles isn’t impressive including 1 title in 11 years for the franchise that drafted you.

[RogueBorg]

How smart is he really when he keeps passing to Westbrook? Seems dumb to me.

[Spurs m8]

Where was his IQ during this?

His paid trolls told him we call him LeTurnstile.

He thought he'd try and prove us wrong.

I wonder how high his IQ on defence is nowadays?

Seems to have atrophied pretty bad to me.

No one is really arguing that he's not top 5. (Except for a few troll accts)

He just isn't top 1 as many of his fangirls keep pushing down people's throats.

The odds of them admitting that LeBron is superior to Jordan are the same as one kid at the playground saying to the other kid "Yeah, you make some great points. Your dad is stronger than my dad".
Decades down the line when all the nostalgia has worn off, LeBron's accomplishments will be more impressive than Jordan's to people who have no emotional attachments to either player.

1st- If Lebron passed the ball to Westbrick just 1x, he's dumb.
Second - Not knowing he had a TO at the end of regulation of game 1 in an NBA Finals game = dumb
Third - If you're the supposed best player ever and you time after time keep passing to bums with the game on the line, guess what = dumb

Lebron is dumb

That is actually a great play design and a great read of the options by LeWizard.

He has the highest basketball IQ of all time in the most perfect basketball body of all time. Let that sink in. :eek:

[light]

LeBron is widely considered the smartest player that has ever lived. The highest bball IQ. The best understanding of the game.

Baron Davis: "LeBron James is the smartest dude you are ever gonna meet in your life, no matter who you meet. LeBron James will be the smartest man you will ever meet."

Pop: "LeBron knows basketball better than everybody put together in this room."

Warren Buffet: "He’s savvy. He’s smart about financial matters."

Pippen: "His IQ is off the scale. He's so far ahead of the game."

Kenny Smith: "LeBron James' basketball IQ is off the charts. Coaches around the league don't have the IQ that he has."

Then he gets factually owned with visual evidence that the ball was in fact not in mid-air.

:oldlol: @ The irony of this alt using the word "deflecting". When a player clearly signals for a time-out to be called while his team is in the possession of the ball, he should be awarded the time-out. End of story. Deflecting is any discussion beyond that.

Hey, this dude with a bunch of alts would make an excellent lawyer:

[RogueBorg]

Why did he clearly and backed-up by video evidence make the sign of a time-out with 0.9 seconds remaining?

Because he's Chris Webber, calling a TO when he obviously didn't know how many TO's he had. Video evidence proves this when he had to ask Ty Lue "How many timeouts did we have left?"

[TheGoatest]

Because he's Chris Webber, calling a TO when he obviously didn't know how many TO's he had. Video evidence proves this when he had to ask Ty Lue "How many timeouts did we have left?"

Um, no. He's actually the exact 180 degree polar opposite of Chris Webber.
Chris Webber called a time-out and his call for time-out was acknowledged by the refs.
LeBron called a time-out and his call for time-out was ignored by the refs.

As usual you missed the point, so let me explain it so even you can understand. Chris Webber and Lebron James each called for a TO not knowing how many timeouts they had left. The refs granting the TO or not granting it is irrelevant. Lebron not knowing how many TO's he had is provable.

1) I don’t have alts.

2) It’s already been proven you can call a timeout without knowing you have one - which was the case with Lebron as well as the Webber example.

3) That being the case, Lebron demonstrably had a mental blunder at the end of a Finals game. If he was certain he had a timeout he would have called it way earlier.

Smith’s play was pretty boneheaded, but it was not the sole reason that the Cavaliers lost that game. LeBron James passed up an opportunity in single coverage with Steph Curry on him prior to the free throws, Hill was largely let off the hook for missing the free throw himself, and neither head coach Tyronn Lue nor any of the other Cavs players had the presence of mind to call the one timeout that they still had when Smith got the rebound. The Cavs as a whole also did not have enough mental toughness to overcome Smith’s error, either in overtime or in the three games that followed.
