The Lebron Thread (2015-16 Pt. 4)

Watched the 111 RS dunks by lebron video thanks to DownToBuck

https://youtu.be/KeWTkNZhafc

111 Total

53 In HC
58 in Transition

Althouh a ton of the early one's where a lot more transition heavy and with him dunking more in the HC during the second season it correlates with him getting more serious.

Of those 53 in HC

20 Unassisted ( 5 attacking big off pick and roll, 5 explodes from standstill past defender, 2 refusing picks yet blowing past defender, 3 defense just left him a lane to the floor after drop back defender dives to pick setter, 2 turning corner while dribbling with defender in motion, 1 using power to move defender from post and dunk, 1 dunk off offensive rebound, 1 attacking closeout )
33 Assisted

I think people shouldnt be so quick to call out lebron's spacing as a ton of these assisted dunks are him moving off ball with a head full of steam at the rim and these are just the possessions that ended in dunks, like wade he's found a benefit to his lack of gravity to soar in and find easy points

My gut feeling right now is that Durant goes to the Warriors. Really hope I'm wrong...

Cavs should look at Sessions if he can be had for cheap at backup PG. Also wished they had looked at Aldrich to give them some rim protection, but sadly the Wolves got him at a bargain.

Isn't Jarret Jack a free agent? He would be an awesome back up.

Also, if Durant goes to the Warriors and they need to off load Bogut, the Cavs should look to assist them. They have a trade exception I believe and Bogut isn't a bad player, even though he's injured half the time. Doubt they help the Warriors though.

Never. Already had him in cleveland once and never liked a player less on my own team.

Been my gut all along and I never wanted to be wrong more. I really hate all these Lebron 2010 false equivalencies I'm reading too, but I've already written enough on that for one day on the general board.

Boy would this suck.

Curry already has borderline best cast ever. Add durant and its a joke. Yet he'll never get the same criticism lebron got for teaming up with wade and bosh...

And he shouldn't since he is nowhere near the same caliber of player Lebron is

JulesWinnfield · Post #1149 » by **JulesWinnfield** » Mon Jul 4, 2016 12:08 am

From a "stacking the deck" perspective this isn't even remotely comparable to Lebron 2010. The reasons why are numerous. But I'd feel overly repetitive listing them all....

As for the criticism these guys won't get compared to Lebron though..... Some might want to lay that at the feet of the decision show. The "not 6, not 7" stuff too. And of course that added to it all. But let's be real..... That hate would have existed regardless, and the reason above all why Lebron got that hate and Durant will not is because a generation of fans (my generation) that grew up worshipping Jordan were just predisposed to dislike LeBron from the start. He was a threat to the GOAT legacy of a God that they worshipped. (Not to even mention irrational Kobe fans too young to have seen MJ but looking at it through their own sensibilities) Anything that could help him build that resume' up and potentially encroach on that territory was going to be hated on. The preferred route was him staying in Cleveland with a bunch of nobodies and having to perform magic tricks to scratch out any rings. That's not the case with Durant or curry though, they don't and never will pose that same threat. Not to MJ at least.

So lebron cant have good team mates coz hes really good but its cool for curry to have by far best cast ever coz hes not as good?

Lebron can have as good teammates as he can, that is what I want for him (I hope this summer goes great for the Cavs). Same goes for Curry (although I don't care about him, I'm not a fan of his)

People have Lebron on a higher standard than Curry, as it should be, since he is much better. Lebron will always get more attention from the people and from the media, therefore, more people will critizice him about anything he does

I dont think thats why he gets most of his criticism though its the level of hate a lot of people have for him....

And if LeBron wasn't so good, instead he was Curry/Durant level, there wouldn't be such intense hate. It is all connected.

That makes absolutely no sense.

Unless you mean that bc he is worse people SHOULD care less? Some will, doubt those that are in this forum are those people though.

Even the reaction to the rumours surrounding KD/Warriors tell how great Lebron truly is and just how scared the members of Jordanism truly are, when a not insignificant amount of people want a 73-9 team to add Durant just to stop the man from getting any more titles. We are all witnesses.

ppedro123 · Post #1156 » by **ppedro123** » Mon Jul 4, 2016 4:13 pm

I dont think Curry will win the MVP next season now that Durant's there

So... i think we'll have a new MVP or LeBron might win it.

BasketballFan7 · Post #1157 » by **BasketballFan7** » Mon Jul 4, 2016 4:13 pm

LeBron bullied Durant, he bullied Curry, now they can join together and still get beat by daddy.

Cavs gon' win it

Larry David · Post #1158 » by **Larry David** » Mon Jul 4, 2016 4:18 pm

obviously they are hands down favorites to win but as a cavs fan its nice to see that they lose iggy bogut and ezeli

however with lebron switching over to durant now we are back to kevin love on draymond

well see how it plays out they have 11 months to figure something out

ppedro123 · Post #1159 » by **ppedro123** » Mon Jul 4, 2016 4:20 pm

I believe Iggy is staying at GS

Dupp · Post #1160 » by **Dupp** » Mon Jul 4, 2016 4:23 pm

Yeah if they lost Iggy id give us a shot but this nba season will be a non contest. Probably won't even get league pass for the first time in a long long time...

Just another day in the life of lebron. If he can beat this team he's the goat no contest but we won't get close.
