Lebron has been working out with Hakeem

[RRR3]

No I'm not mad, but you're are obviously scared, bringing up Kobe in a thread that has nothing to do with him.

[NumberSix]

Watch out NBA! LeBron with post move?! Now he's gunning for the greatest EVER crown! Soon it will be LeBron > Mike > Kobe.

First of all, "LeBron > Mike"..... NO!!!!

Second, "Mike > Kobe"..... You skipped about a dozen spaces.

Here.... "Mike > a whole lotta other dudes > Kobe"

Fixed.

I interpret this as LeBron basically coming to terms with his declining body, and realizing he now needs to play an old man's game.

I think it has to do more with how miami wants him to play, If you noticed he posts up alot this days ever since he joined them, passing off the post/shooting a jumper or driving in for bucket or assist. He has to adjust his game because they play him more at the power forward position when teams run their small lineups where he ends up with a mismatch..

I don't think cleveland lebron would've been succesful in miami, they would've got shut down in the playoffs, (Zone and Packing the paint defense are a killer to guys who depend on driving the ball alone). .. Lebron is just coming to terms with how much more damage he can do with his body than just relying on beating guys off the dribble like he did in his cleveland days i.e he's becoming a better player overall. I like his game Miami than what he was doing in Cleveland.

LeBron had a great regular season. LeBron had a pretty good post season up until Dallas. Against Dallas it wasn't the lack of a post game or his consistency with his jumper that hurt him. What he lacked was the aggressiveness. He could have bulldozed the lane and scored some points, instead he just stood around on the perimeter. Having a post game won't make him all of a sudden decide to attack. He could have scored more in the finals with the exact same skillset he has now, he just didn't have the mentality.

That being said obviously him developing a post game is a good thing. With his size and eventual continued decline of his athletic ability it's a good idea to get a head start with his footwork, witch is pretty awful.

everybody works with Hakeem

I wanted to see Lebron work with Bird. That would be sweet.

Yeah, Dan lebartard once lebron asked which unstoppable moves from previous players he likes .. His answers were.

1: Larry bird's shot

2: dwayne wade's eurostep

3: Kareem's hook shot

4: Jordan's fadeway

5: Hakeem's post game.

Or he could be realizing that standing in the corner while Wade works is stupid when he could be posting up while Wade cuts to the basket off of his double and Bosh spots up or cuts

Rumor has it Kobe is getting some schooling from Icyman.

When not to take a jumper when 2 or more players are on you.

I'll find the source.

Hilarious.

[The_Yearning]

Meh, LBJ is done for.

[Swaggin916]

he's nowhere near as smooth as hakeem... probably won't work.

[Bigsmoke]

All these dudes copying Bryant.

u mean copying Okafor and Yao Ming.

[bdreason]

Good move. LeBron really needs to improve his footwork, especially in the post.

If he can learn to punish smaller SF's on the post, and exploit slower SF's on the perimeter...

[DirtySanchez]

Exactly what he should of been doing a couple of seasons a go right after Kobe did it.

If LeBron can develop a decent post game he will be a freaking beast.
Kudos to LeBron.

[inthenickoftime]

Should be interesting to see what he can do in the post, still all the post moves in the world won't help if he gonna pull disappearing acts in the 4th quarter of games in the finals
