Re: Lebron has been working out with Hakeem
I remember LeBron mentioning his improved post game at the beginning of his 2nd or 3rd year. He came out hot and made like 5-6 threes and the announcers were like, "Folks, he's added range to his game, but his post game has gone up a whole 'nother level."

Re: Lebron has been working out with Hakeem
Sorry for the late pass but i have to say here I’m glad to see Lebron take steps to improve his game. I’m surprised he had not done this before, but working with Hakeem can’t hurt.
My only critique of Lebron nowadays has mostly been that he does not seem to have fine-tuned skills (moves) with his back to the basket in the post, he seems to succeed there somehow anyways on raw talent/strength/size over a smaller defender more than enough though (when he rarely posts up), overpowering his defender with sheer strength & size, but there goes the limit to his post game skills. If he works on this, his post game will be comfortable and that means even more efficient scoring and as unselfish playmaker he is even more passing , which is a scary thought, because just take look at what such size can do to a perimeter player who has great passing ability, court vision and post game (Magic Johnson), you make not only yourself but your teammates better. In the halfcourt and on the perimeter Magic never had to drive past or crossover or jump over anybody, he simply turned his back and walked around with that defender on him wherever he wanted to on the floor looking to make the best play for himself or his teammates, Lebrons back to the basket game is not at that level in the post or anywhere on the court.
He has always been a star and the number one player lately, read the one everyone depends on to win, especially the team he was on and I feel this has caused him to do everything and rely on raw talent too much.
Last year in Miami was really the first time where a team didn’t depend solely on him to win; he was needed but this need was spread between him and D. Wade and a theoretical extension to Chris Bosh. So its very different situation he is in, a situation where the correct gamestyle will be extremly handy and a post game is a good start. This and the move [working with Olajuwon] could be proof that he took the core of the critiques thrown at him to heart and decided to do something about it… good for him.

Just ignore that @$$hole. He was still bitter that the Heat beat the Celtics in the playoffs. He's the same clown who also hated Dwight Howard. On topic. I want to see some footage of Hakeem training LeBron.

looking like a piece of shit? lmfao.... he gets stripped and then tries to go after the ball.... thats good defense....
tony allen is an amazing defender.... and thats the ONLY time tony allen was able to "stop" lebron........ watch the rest of that game or any game where Tony Allen defends lebron...... he absolutely kills him (EVEN IN THE POST).........
im sure you as a Kobe fan would know that tony allen is a great defender...... considering he has stopped Kobe millions of times... and is Kobes nightmare.... Tony Allen defends Kobe better than ANYBODY....
for example:

Re: Lebron has been working out with Hakeem
[QUOTE=LA_Showtime]Why is this news? According to LeBron, he's been working on his post game for the past 5 years. Seriously, until LeBron proves it on the court no one should get excited. LeBron talking about his post game is like Jermaine O'Neal telling everyone he's going to be healthy and return to his all-star self.[/QUOTE]
Pretty much this. Lebron talks the talk a lot but he never walks the walk. I'll see it when I believe it. I use to criticize LBJ for his inconsistent jump shot and weak D but he eventually worked on that. We will see if he will ever acquire and improve his post game .

Those clips are pretty bad dude. They look like someone that doesn't have confidence in their shot.
Everyone who's ever played basketball knows your hurting your team if you don't take open shots. I heard he was working on catch and shoot so hopefully that part of his game gets better.

Re: Lebron has been working out with Hakeem
Lebron has no real interest in consistently playing the post, cuz he isn't that type of player to "hang and bang." Doing a few post moves vs a team with no real inside presence is nothing to get excited about, and pretty much proves my point. Holla when he does that vs Dallas, Boston, etc.
-
Re: Lebron has been working out with Hakeem
Lebron has no feel for the post game. He posts too far from the paint, can't pivot effectively and haven't developed a proper spin-move that would be perfect for him given his speed advantage.
