I've always said he was a top 3 passer in the league along with Nash & Paul... But that play at the 5:13mark and the final pass... Just SILLY :x

Lebron James is the greatest player of all time. He's the greatest everything of all time.

His court vision is absurd for a player with his scoring ability.
He's a legit elite passer. His elite combo of scoring & passing is what sets him apart from his counterparts offensively.
When he was in Toronto, only Amare was a better in the pick & roll. You saw in G4 (or G5, i forget) in the finals how they were getting easy buckets off that in the first quarter. I swear when Bosh rolls he either gets an layup/dunk or it's a three for Chalmers/Battier/Miller like 80% of the time. I'd like to see more of it.
But obviously the offense is going to be built around Bron & Wade, and having Bosh at the top of the key to punish the D for sagging on Wade/Bron drives/post-ups is extremely effective too.

He was dominant this year. Not arguing that. He doesn't have the post game yet...Go back & look at the vid. If he got those low post skills coupled with his ability to pass?!?!? It's a wrap...

But he was one of the most effective and efficient post players in the league all year long.

Effective yes, dominant not yet...Playoffs were a good start...He was great passing but not as dominant scoring IMO...Again go back & look at the vid. You'll see what I mean.

Assist in basketball is so overrated. Player A make a nice pass to player B. Player B miss. No assist credited. That's why i don't look at at assist seriously. I

His passing is my favorite aspect of his game.
I would love to see him play the point for entire games at some point in his career.
A lot of Penny Hardaway in his game in that respect.

Just because Kobe doesnt pass the ball doesnt make the assist overrated. Go back to the Kobe threads so you can continue slopping on Kobes Black Mamba.

The control he has on that behind the back bounce pass though 
:x
Closest thing to a Jordan/Magic hybrid that we've seen so far. And no, I'm not saying he's better than either of them.

As far as gentlemen that are tall that can pass the basketball, I don't care if it's LeBron James, Larry Bird, or Magic Johnson, all three are absolutely excellent passers. Larry was innovative for a guy his size being able to pass the way he did, Magic brought "Showtime," to LA, and LeBron James has revitalized the flash of being an excellent passer/playmaker for his teammates.
That said, if I'm wanting a guy to make plays for others, I'm still picking John Stockton or Jason Kidd.
And lastly, embrace LeBron James, he may be the last great player for a long time. I feel like not enough of you guys do.
When I say great, I'm talking Top-10 great.

Everyday I wake up I thank God that he granted me life during the LBJ era.
I couldn't imagine living in a world where we couldn't see Lebron James play.
