In a 7 game series LeBron will be on his game. It doesn't make sense for him to exert himself over 82 regular season games but come playoff time he will do his thing

...and body is built not given. Pretty sure he wasn't born 6'8 260lbs.

So anybody can just work their way to 6'8? I agree he worked to put on more mass, but that doesn't take away from the point that it's his body that makes him great more than his skills.
He can play all those positions because he's bigger than the little guys, but almost as quick. He's quicker than the big guys, but stronger and about as big. He couldn't do that if he were 6'-6'4. It's his body that allows him. He's a athletic physical freak of nature.

Yea I don't have time or energy to get involved in this dumb debate. It's the weakest argument against Lebron.
I see a lot of 6'8 250lb guys playing PG in the NBA.
Originally posted by 4ML:I always thought it was more to do with vision, ability to pass, knowing the offense, ability to see plays before they happen, good handles etc. etc that allows you to play PG. Maybe Clippers should trade CP3...because Blake Griffin's athleticism should allow him to play PG. Jason Kidd was obviously super athletic at the age of 37-38 to be pretty good PG in the NBA and of course we all know how athletic Magic was.
Look at all the athleticism Lebron used to make that pass. Would have probably thrown the ball in the stands if not for his quickness.

Passing is the only thing he's good at that his body doesn't help him in. He's a great basketball player, are you missing that part of my posts?

Well he's behind in chip count MVPs and Olympic gold medals. LeBron carried the US the last time out in the tourney vs the worlds best. No other player could handle that load but LeBron did and this was in the midst of him making five consecutive NBA Finals runs. Steph on fire right now but I just feel that whatever team you put a LeBron on the last few years immediately became a championship contender especially out East. Even in last year's Finals you could see and feel Lebrons impact every game. Steph doing his thing but I ain't seen him do it like LeBron yet. Maybe in a couple years I will change my tune but LeBron can dominate at four positions right now
I'm not expecting Curry to hit a growth spurt and grow to be 6'8 250, so I dont hold not playing 4 positions against him. Curry is a more skilled player. What makes Lebron great is his physical ability. What makes Steph great is his basketball ability. I'm sure if Curry had the ball hog mentality, and shot the ball as many times as Lebron in the finals, he'd probably do it better than Lebron. If you put Brons skill set in Currys body, you'd have a mediocre player. Put Currys skill set in Brons body, and you might as well shut the league down, because it really wouldn't be fair.
Not saying Lebron isn't great in his own right, he is, but i give the nod to the guy that's great because of his skills, not because of the body he was given.
That's very true.
