With LeBron getting injured this year, and the scheduling and promotion of the 16 being thrown off by his time off, do people still think that the 16>15?
Many things I consider:
-He had arguably his single most dominant season/postseason and most clutch playoff performances in the 15, making it to the Finals when he shouldn't have made it that far. Compare that to missing significant time in the 16 and not making the playoffs or having a .500 record this year.
-LeBron Watch comes out for the for the first time, including a few PEs of LeBron Watch series (South Beach, Red Griffey, Orange Air Max, etc.) creating hype for the line.
-LeBron Watch lagging behind and already repeating a shoe with a different colorway (SB white vs SB blue). I know they did the white Diamond Turf then Red Diamond Turf later on to finish it off, but that was after all the colorways had already come out before remixing any previously released inspiration.
These are just a couple of the things I have noticed/believe to be true. Obviously, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
