Lebron does not have a quick first step

[3ball]

.
Lebron must frequently stiff-arm and "Shaq" his way to the rim







Let's compare to the GOAT..


... MJ at 29 years old








Confirmed: Lebron's first step is average for SF's and slow as molasses compared to MJ.

This is just another example of how Lebron's game can't compare to the GOAT combination of skill and athleticism.

i have made this point multiple times, Jeremy Lin of all people has a better first step than Lebron

""Of all people" Jeremy Lin has a quicker first step than most of the league so that isn't surprising. Only a few guys like healthy Rose, Wall are quicker.

LeBron has a tremendous first step for a 6'8" 260lb guy, not sure why you'd compare him to a guard

[KingPush]

How many guys at 6'8 260 lbs have a quick first step?

Yeah its good for being 250, obviously not as good as a point guard. He's still the best athlete in the league though due to power, speed, jumping ability etc.

Lighter lebron during the early years in Cleveland was much quicker
