    Default Dray said Lebron is off-ball now.. Too bad he can't dominate or be #1 option that way

    It's just another area of weakness compared to other all-time greats like Curry, Kobe or MJ

    Maybe if he had expert jumpshooting skill and great moves upon the catch, he could dominate off-ball

    Imagine a guy being called goat when he can only dominate as a ball-dominator.. A guy that needs the 10th guy on his team to actually be a starting PG that averaged 19 and 6 apg elsewhere (f'ing stacked roster for another manufactured title)

    Schroeder averaged 19/6 for Hawks and was considered a coveted pick up... Not as good as 2005 Hughes (22/6/5 and 1st team defense), but still an amazing guy to have as your 89th option

    That was like 7 years ago

    He was a bench player for the team that had the #3 overall pick last year.

    Damn, 19/6, 5 years ago, on a team that won 24 games. That's some stacked shit right there.

    It's better than BJ and Longley being QUICKLY relegated to the bench on expansion teams after starting for a 3-peat team

    Just over a year ago the guy you're speaking of was traded with two other players for Daniel Theis to the Rockets. He was then a bench player for a team that had literally the worst record in the league.

    Jordan was absolutely garbage at 38 and would run a team like this into the ground. No rebounding ability, no playmaking. 40% regular season fg%

    What I learned from the responses is that Lebron's teammates have been playing better because Lebron' isn't dominating the ball anymore

    Just like various posters have always said for years

    The only problem is that he isn't a dominant basketball player in this capacity - he isn't able to be elite or dominant at off-ball play due to a lack of expert jumpshooting skill and polished moves upon the catch.

    This is what always separated MJ from Lebron - Lebron's inability to dominate off-ball is the only thing preventing this stacked team from being a dominant favorite, while MJ's off-ball dominance can be added to any veteran roster and yield 3-peats coming out of your ass

    These guys are trying to discredit Schroder now.

    Desperation. Already adding excuses to their bag.

    Nobody is discrediting him. I merely factually proved false that he was this “coveted” 19/6 guy.

    Saying literal facts is not discrediting. He’s capable of coming off the bench in spurts and getting a few buckets. He’s also not a good defender and his streakiness as a player in general doesn’t lend itself to giving him many minutes against a good team in the playoffs.

    Bro, he's 38 AND iplaying hurt. He'll be back to giving you nightmares in no time don't worry. And Schroeder? Wow. It's as if you only watch Lebrons teams and fail to realize that every single mediocre to great team ever has breakout games and stretches by other guys on the roster. That's basketball man. No team is exempt from this fact. You just only pay attention to one.
