How Is LeBron Playing At Such A High Level? Unreal...

[WillyJakkz]

Posted this in the game thread then just had to make a solo thread about this.

Ok... How TF is LeBron James playing at such a high level STILL??? This is beyond insane. It defies athletic and sports logic.

This makes no sense. I mean not gonna lie he looked like he was on his way to being cooked last season and then the season before and now it's like he's had a resurgence.

Unbelievable.

Props to King James. I'm a respect this man and appreciate him while we still can cause wow... All athletes I know or can think of this age wasn't moving like this. Ran like they knees hurt and ****. Unreal...

NBA has an weak drug testing policy+ incredibly hard work and discipline + basketball genius + legitimate genetic outlier athletic base to build off of

But I will say this, Kareem was 1st team All NBA and won a Finals MVP at 38, so this isn't totally unprecedented

[Tor_Raps]

Duncan would have been Finals MVP at age 38 if not for Ray Allen.

But yes, I will not hate and give the man his props here. It's unreal how he's playing still. Everyone from the 2003 class became washed up so long ago and this man still going lol.

Great point about Cap but even he wasn't moving like this at age 38 going on 39. That was the Magic push the ball Cap you walk down court we'll catch you in the half court version of Cap.

Their is no defensive resistance anymore. Look at the scores of some of these games. One team will crack 180 this year

He’s either on PEDS or people have to admit it’s way easier to score now than it was 10 years ago.

I mean Lebron has similar numbers now to what he had in his second stint in Cleveland but now he’s averaging way less minutes.

Even if he is eating clen, trenning hard, anavar giving up, so is the rest of the league

[Tottery]

2 big reasons imo.

1. He has never endured a career threatening injury.

2. He stopped playing possession to possession defense a long time ago and spends his energy on offense.

[MrBigShot]

Once in a lifetime genetics + hard work/body maintenance + picking his spots/conserving energy + PEDs + a little bit of luck.

[art_tatum]

No defense played today, lebron's natural size and genetic lottery, he takes amazing care of his body spends millions a year on PED and non PED care.
Definitely has some GOAT longevity along with KAJ.

Please go check scores in the 80s

[Maxthirty]

He’s the greatest player of all time. I feel bad for the people that can’t just sit back and enjoy his greatness, even if you do disagree with the first statement.

[Tottery]

I was pretty impressed with John Stockton grabbing double doubles his last few seasons and getting an All-Star nod at 38 years old, but Bron is silly.

[JustBuzzin]

I'm naming my son LeBron no lie!

It’s not about scoring look at how he is moving, lol. He is moving like a 28 year old.

If it was just the scoring making him look nice old guys like Chris Paul wouldn’t look washed .

its always so weird to me seeing people in a thread like this that are SO obsessed with hating that they cant even acknowledge obvious greatness. i guess i just kinda feel sorry for you guys. i mean hell, i rooted against Jordan but i was still in awe of what i was watching. how could you not be? i also rooted against Bron when he was on the cavs and heat, but again i was always in awe of his talent. its so small to be THIS annoyed by a player that even when theyre doing things weve never seen before you're still like "NOPE! NOT IMPRESSED! HES OBVIOUSLY CHEATING! AND EVEN WITH CHEATING HES STILL NOT EVEN THAT GOOD ANYWAYS!" Like damn... lifes that bad guys? cant even just sit back and appreciate greatness?

Nothing PED about it. Just hard work and dedication.

LeBron still taking these youngsters to school.

People keep saying PEDs but why do people like Ayton get caught but not Lebron?

[Trey24]

He obviously does stuff with his body other guys don't have access to. It may not be PED's but its something. Dude sold his soul long ago thats for sure. What it means beyond that nobody really knows.
