Lebron JAMES = most overrated leaper in the history of the NBA.

[Toizumi]

you just facially slam dunked on his thread.

[godofgods]

Obviously you haven't heard of this guy called Kobe Bryant.

[momo]

The angle from the vid stro4 posted is actually below the court, shot through a glass panel, all to enhance brawns dunkyness. I blame stern for this travesty.

Everytime they show a lebron james dunk it is from a low angle where he is FAR away from the basket making his head seem to reach rim level..when in fact, it is not even close.

Lebron James has the most overrated hops in the history of the NBA.
This also explains why his dunks SUCK...because he has poor body control in the air and because he lacks in hops.

Dwight Howard is only 2 inches taller than Lebron James but has WAY MORE jumping ability. As does a player like joe Alexander, Josh Smith, Gerald Green and Travis Outlaw; guys around lebron's height who can outjump him noticeably.

Please stop overrating Lebron's jumping ability and athleticism.

He came into the league as an EXCEPTIONAL athlete but not on the the level of the elite guys...look at his draft profiles. He was known for his "Magic Johnson" like passing ability etc.

I guess somewhere along the line the NBA and Nike saw that he was definately no magic johnson so they changed the campaign and started to market him as a jumping beast. Which he is not.




AS you can SEE; the SAME DUNK from two angles..BOTH at the peak (same moment) of the dunk. On the frontpage of NBA.com is the dunk at the top where his head "SEEMS" to be 3 incehs from the rim. But in reality, we look at the second pic which has a truer angle..his around is ACTUALLY close to 1 foot below the rim. ALL OF LEBRONS DUNKS where his head seems to be at teh "RIM" are based on complete skewed, bullshat pictures like the one i just posted.

I think Lebron is probably only concerned with maintaining the lead on the scoreboard in those pics.

Stop doubting Lebron,just stop, the guy deserves the MVP award this year.
And no one has said Lebron puts his head above the rim everytime he dunks.

[MiseryCityTexas]

yeah lebron is an overrated dunker by far. especially since the games i seen him from two weeks ago where he missed easy wide open one handed dunks, and he missed two handed wide open alley oops on many occasions. lebron's leaping ability is crap and overrated.

guess what? kobe has missed dunks also

[DukeDelonte13]

when is lebron just overrated instead of "most overrated"?

this thread is dumb. Every watch Lebron play? I guess the 3 or 4 dunks he pulls off a game all suck. Like those points don't count or something because Lebron can't pick up a penny of the top of a blackboard. We should just give the MVP to someone else that jumps higher.

Your an idiot.

Couldn't you at least find something relevant to bash Lebron?

[KenneBell]

guess what? kobe has missed dunks also

What does this thread have to do with Kobe?

[Toizumi]

What does this thread have to do with Kobe?

everything!! look at the title of the thread.. it says: LEBRON JAMES..
this is ISH..

[Meticode]

There is no doubt LeBron has hops. Why even question this? He's pretty much done a free throw line dunk in a game before, he his gets to the rim eye-level consistently. That's not to say he's the best or near the best dunker because he's not. But he's pretty exceptional to me for being 6-8 250+. Probably the only player bigger than him that can out-hop him is Dwight Howard, and even then LeBron still might weigh more than Dwight.

I also like how the original poster just disappears after the flames. *POOF* Vanish!

[allball]

leave it to a guy who supports Vince "I quit" Carter to bring up this ridicuolus thread.

[Bush4Ever]

Lebron is a quick leaper, just like Barkley was a quick leaper. He gets off the floor quickly.

That's probably a better skill to have than pure leaping height.

[Meticode]

leave it to a guy who supports Vince "I quit" Carter to bring up this ridicuolus thread.

Vince was one of the greatest if not the greatest NBA dunker ever. By the original poster's logic he should have one a MVP.

[JJ81]

He made a freethrow line dunk.
