“I never liked [LeBron's] game. To me, when I was younger he was just super athletic, I wasn't that. He was 6'8", and super strong and I wasn't that either.”
- SGA on LeBron’s game growing up (Via Pass The Rock | h/t @ESPNNBA)
We've been saying this all along. Lebron is great but he doesn't inspire anyone to play like him.
He doesn't inspire SGA but saying no one wants to play like him is silly.
I don't really think it's a downfall that someone doesn't inspire others to play like them with the reason being that people realize they can't.

There is no way to mold your game based on Lebron. Unless you count stiff arming as a skill, all you can do is basically just take steroids.
Also SGA said explicitly "I dont like his game". Real ballers appreciate skill not athelticism.
I think the key words in his quote were "I wasn't that". He was probably more interested in guys who play in a way he could emulate.
Luka idolized Lebron and can play similarly. Luka probably plays bully ball more than Lebron did.

Saying LeBron doesn’t have skill is just proving you’re retarded. You’re a Rose stan LeBron is like 500x more skilled than Rose (who became a bum once he lost athleticism) but you’re too stupid to realize it because you jerk off to crossovers.

This is the consequence of allowing foreigners with poor reading comprehension to participate in basketball discourse.

“Real ballers” can appreciate both for what they are.
You shouldn't have to like him to realize that James is the most popular player in the NBA. Almost no one is seven feet tall but kids so l grew up wanting to be Shaq. Kids fantasies aren't about being realistic.

Fantasizing about being an NBA player is unrealistic tbqh, let alone a consensus top 3 player ever.

Every time I pass by this forum. This idiot is always posting about LeBron. Most of his posts are stupid too.
Tell Shai that when he was 9 years old, LeBron was in the NBA scoring 29 points of his team's last 30 points vs one of the greatest team ever assembled and he was 2 years younger than you are today (mostly jumpers).
I believe MJ was also athletic from the get go NO? Idiots :facepalm:facepalm:facepalm

Things tend to go south for him quickly when he's forced to do that.
