LeBron says he's ready to "dust off" post game in Bosh absence

[QUOTE=LA_Showtime]LeBron's post game fundamentals aren't terrible. His awareness goes from a 9 or 10 to a 2 or 3, though. He just doesn't look comfortable operating on the block.[/QUOTE]

Yeah the few times I've seen him go into the post he just looks really uncomfortable and awkward like he's forcing it. He will have to develop one sooner or later though if he wants to remain an elite scorer because that freakish athleticism won't always be there. MJ had to do it. Kobe had to do it. You don't stay young forever.

Jordan had the post skills far before he lost athleticism. It's just a different era where players back then were more fundamentally sound and you can tell the guys today have relied upon their athleticism to get by. Guys coming out from one year in college have a lot of talent, but an underdeveloped game.

Right MJ could go into the post earlier in his career but he had to rely on it more in his later career after he lost some athleticism. Added to the fact that he played under a structured offense with Phil. He didn't completely become a shell of his former self as he got older as far as his athleticism, but it definitely helped with his longevity as far as being the dominant scorer he was. I totally agree with the rest of your post though :cheers:

Watch the Heat-Raptors Game.

Every star back then had some form of a post game if they had a mismatch.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

for every 1 of those bad plays in the post that you guys saved as a gif ....theres at least 5 times he draws a double and gets a wide open shot for a teammate.

Lebron looked great in the post today:applause:

I have to say Lebron pretty much shut anybody up who said he had no or extremly sucky post game (Phong) with his post game today, his face-up & back to the back basket was very efficient down there, he got alot of assists from the post aswell, great work, he still needs to tune it up somewhat though, i just wish he would go down there more often.

Who were they playing again... oh TORONTO! :lol
The 4th worst team in the NBA right behind cleveland. :roll:

Is that proof that he actually has a post game? One game VS one of the worst team in the NBA? :applause:

i dont mean to sound racist. but lebron is acting like a dumb ape in this clip

he gives black people a bad rep

Lebron is actually doing OK in the post... can pass out of it and can shoot the J or just forcing it through. He looks uncomfortable down the block though... should be better if he does it like in the Raptors game.

Excuses, he posted anybody up from a 6 footer (Calderon) to a 7 footer (Bargnani). Come on now, Lebron has an ok post game, its not bad, he just needs to use it more and finetune it more. One game? Maybe for you... :) Ive seen Lebron dominate in the post even better, especially last season.

I'm not trying to hate on lebron right now but bargnani isn't that much stronger/tougher than calderon :roll:

Both softies brah...

his post game is fine, he just need to work on a softer touch around the rim

so when will bosh dust off his post game? coz all I see are jumpers

[QUOTE=dyna]81 points??

i bet that jersey got burned to make room in his closset for something else

:lol

I didn't watch the game against Toronto last night.

Did LeBron "dust off" his game or he played without posting-up ?

[QUOTE=Lebron23]He abused Ron Artest last Christmas. I would love to see LeBron play at the post.

Let see if he can show some decent post moves against [B]Kleiza, Dorsey, and Weems.[/B]

he actually did post up several times and it didn't look too bad.. he almost was a better Bosh than Bosh is! :D

[QUOTE=hitmanyr2k]
Nah. coin24 is absolutely right. A skilled post player should kill with the kind of space Lebron is given. I don't care how many Celtic players are "looking" at him. Lebron still has space to operate against Pierce and fails miserably. On his first pivot he could have easily thrown a little jumphook over Pierce but for some reason he paused (Davis wasn't even close to him) and didn't really know what to do next.[/QUOTE]
another idiot who has the reading comprehension of, oh idk, an idiot. if you cared to read, i'm not arguing that Lebron did good in that gif post up play. what im arguin about is the fact that you morons are convinced he is guarded one on one. i just called you out on that. i think, if we cared to argue about basketball, at least get the facts straight you know? the video is right there, the obvious staring you in the face! why you gotta fkn claim something which is totally not true?

dude just look awkward down the block... someone tell him it's cool to post up. someone do it.. text him, email, twitter whatever, someone just do it! :rant

[QUOTE=2swift4u]he actually did post up several times and it didn't look too bad.. he almost was a better Bosh than Bosh is! :D[/QUOTE]
so did he post up or what?, you say he did and then you say hes like Bosh

Im confused

[QUOTE=flipogb]so did he post up or what?, you say he did and then you say hes like Bosh

haha.. yes he did. he even made a hook-shot! :D and since he was playing PF I said he almost did that better than Bosh does

He did have some pretty nice post moves, I was surprised, I've really never seen those moves from him before, I'd say he posted up on 75% of his shots, and most were very efficient. That sky hook shot btw was clean as ****, I kept thinking he was going to try it again but he never did

[url]http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/miamiheat/post/_/id/3950/lebron-james-mans-his-post[/url]

This season, James has scored points on exactly 50 percent of his 56 post-up plays that resulted in a shot attempt or foul, according to Synergy Sports. Last season, that number was 58 percent. [B][I]In fact, no player in the league with a minimum of 100 shot attempts in the post generated a higher point of possession on post plays than James did in 2009-10[/I].[/B] Bosh ranked second, with Dirk Nowitzki, Zach Randolph and Tim Duncan rounding out the Top 5.

How about that post game last night LBJ? I saw several post moves where the shot hit all backboard and no rim.

Anybody got vids on it?

:roll:

Plowking and I were talking about how garbage his post game looked at times last night. I mean it was to the point where I know I have a better one than he does.

he did look horrible last night with his post, but he's workign at it and not shying away from trying to accomplish one...i'll give him credit for that.

just know that once he get's that post-game going...lights out, cuz he's just unstoppable at that point

Yet, when I was criticizing his lack of a post game over the summer and into the season, I was called crazy :rolleyes:

[COLOR=Teal][B]I think it's more crucial for him to develop a 'midrange game' than a post game.[/B][/COLOR]
