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:

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
