Is LeBron the most skilled scorer in the league right now?

[Westbrook_Fan]

He put up 30ppg on 52% while having less size/athleticism remaining in his body than any of the other Top 10 scorers

Embiid: 7 foot tall while being in his athletic peak

Durant: 7 foot tall while being not far from his athletic peak

Giannis: 7 foot tall while being in his athletic peak

Jokic: 7 foot tall while being in his athletic peak

Pretty comfortably, yes.

Anyone who says different is a troll.

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Most skilled TV watcher i would say. You should of saw the skill on display when he was watching Irving score 39 points on 80% TS

[John_Connor]

what skills does he possess?

mid range? not really

post game? not really

floaters? not really

contested shots? not really

footwork? not really

fancy dribbles? not really

counters? not really

left hand beyond layups? not really

free throws? not really





but he's pretty good at bullying guys to the rim and an average wide open three point shooter ontop of being a good passer. especially when he's down 1 at the end of a game

Not nearly as impressive as the skill Kawhi showed watching the Clippers make the conference finals last year. He was watching Terence Mann drop 39 on 89%TS.

Why is it the only guys scoring similarly to him are 7 foot freaks in their primes?

because they're all physically dominant and when their shots not falling they can just bully people.. thats not a skill. that's just being bigger and stronger and taller. if lebron can play center then guys like embiid are like mythological creatures for today's game

and in lebrons case if he was actually expected to win he would be coming off the bench cause he can't play defense anymore

Which other 6’8 guy with bad knees can score like LeBron?

[Full Court]

:biggums:

He's not even as good as DeRozan or Booker right now.

[John_Connor]

Which other 6’8 guy with bad knees can score like LeBron?

that's the point. lebron is 6'9, 270 ... if guys try bodying him outside he just bullies them to the rim. especially today with teams going small and being more three oriented teams and not having as many inforcers/defensive specialists as past eras. so they just let him shoot. lebron under the current rules and lack of physicality during the regular season and elevated pace could easily average 25ppg+ till age 50


he will continue to be the worst defender in basketball and his teams would never win but he would easily reach 50k points

[Manny98]

He's the most skilled scorer in the league out of the players that missed the playoffs :applause:

That's fair.

Lebron is the most skilled current scorer of all players who are 6'8, have bad knees, and missed the playoffs. No disagreement from me.

Lebron is incapable of dribbling away from a defender to create space and pull up and hit a jumper like Kyrie and Durant are capable of doing. If Lebron dribbles he most likely is going to the basket.

Right now? He's not playin right now dummy. He sitting at home because he was a bad leader and he didn't play defense
