First my PG now my PF..........

He might be out for 4-6 weeks.

Lebron going to LA??

Can't see why he would move if he's winning.

 

[essential1]

I read the article about Lebron... Basically what it was were other team executives saying Jim Buss & Mitch Kupchak will make a run at Lebron..

Don't find it to be too funny... It's just other teams thinking that's the Lakers reset button

LeBron at 30 with all that mileage...

LeBron at 30 with all that mileage...

Kobe at 30 was 2008.. Soooo

LeBron is more dependent on his physical ability and quickness than Kobe, who has essentially perfected his footwork/shooting form and does his work away from the basket now. I just don't want to see a 33-34 year old LeBron struggling to reach the cup and finding that his first step isn't getting him past defenders anymore.

Not saying what I think will happen is a fact, just a concern I have.

 

[wavy bone]

Why people act like turning 30 is a death sentence? He has NO serious injury history whatsoever. He'll be fine.

Lebron doesn't have an elite first step NOW that allows him to get past defenders, so what is your point?

I find it funny that people think Bron won't age well

 

[solarius49]

The Pacers been looking nice in the preseason so far!

I mean we've sean many other examples of transcendant talents adjusting their game as they age and I guess Lebron will be the one who doesn't lol

 

[senorroboto2k5]

I think it's laughable that the "Lebron to Lakers" speculation was one of the ******g LEAD STORIES on Sportscenter

Pretty much

ESPN are scumbags for planting this idea in people's heads though. Now for the next 2 years that idea along with flopping/refs will take precedence over actual gameplay

It really is disgusting. Nothing else to talk about so you just push this just to spark controversy and ratings

No idea. This guy will be 30 doing the same stuff hes doing now.

 

[pharelfor3]

I heard D12 is suppose to make his debut tonight

Allen always makes a good point about Lebron and eating right, working out, ice, massage, etc that players do now to take care of their bodies. My only "concern" of Lebron going forward as he ages is the mileage.

He's got 27,500 right now + 5,000 playoff minutes. 32,500 total. Two more years at around 4K per (reg season + playoff) = 40,000+ minutes at 30.

Ray Allen is at 47,000 at 36 for comparison of someone who has stayed healthy, played a lot of games, etc etc.


Bron could get past 50,000 minutes at 33, EASY.


Surely he takes care of himself, does what he needs to be right, no bad injuries in his career, all that, but that mileage is thru the damn roof, and has to be at least a little worrisome.

I'm not sayin he's breakin down anytime soon, but will he play his "glory" years like KG, Allen, Nash, Kidd etc at a high level while approaching 60,000+ minutes? :\

60K just looks funny. That is absurd.

 

[pmatic]

Dirk out six weeks with arthroscopic knee surgery.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Its absurd sure...but then you remember he is LeBron James. He is unlike any other athlete ever. He is a cyborg, so if anyone could do it, it will be him.

 

[noblekane]

lol better add yahoo and several nba execs in that delusional category about the lakers pursuing lebron in 2014...
