Lebron's drop step among leagues unstoppable moves

LeBron James is a machine in the low post.

Night in and night out, defenders are left gasping for air after having the strenuous task of guarding The King.

While LeBron has added a multitude of moves to his low-post arsenal in recent years, one move in particular reigns supreme—the drop step.

Used to shield a defender behind for a clear look at the hoop, the drop step is performed when a player drops his outside foot into the lane.

LeBron has developed a devastating drop step that is extremely difficult to combat.

By way of his superior skill, overpowering strength and confidence, LeBron’s drop step is the NBA’s most unstoppable move.

Interesting..
Thoughts?

First he needs to do it few times a game then it may become one of the leagues unstoppable moves...

Did you even read the report?

It's been two years now with him using that move...

+1. It sounds like this is more of a high percentage look that, if available, he takes. That's different from having a skyhook-esque move that he can just get off multiple times a game with defenders helpless.

He needs to master skyhook
I joined this forum in 2010 when Lebron joined MIA. I don't know why my join date has changed, but I needed to get this off my chest. Thank you.
