He also is clearly the best player in the league and, at 24, appears to have several more years of this caliber ahead of him. So this summer might be a fair time to start asking how many MVP awards, scoring titles, championships, etc., he can earn. And that, inevitably, will lead to comparisons with the only perimeter player in history who can rival his accomplishments at this age -- Jordan.
That is, if anybody can shut up about 2010 for five seconds.
LeBron is only labeled a perimeter player due to starting lineup constraints.
It's laughable to compare a guy with no outside shot (although that doesn't stop him from hoisting 4+ 3-pt FG's per night) with the man whoperfected the long-range fadeaway. In all seriousness, LeBron might have the worst outside shot out of all perimeter players in the NBA.
The fact that he's still factors into the discussion of GOAT just shows how dominant he is at getting to the basket - gives a new meaning to the phrase"at will". Although how much of LeBron's dominance is due to questionable moves like his patented crab step? I can live with LeBron neverdeveloping an outside shot, but seeing him crab step all over the paint makes Cavs game unwatchable.

i might, MIGHT put him in the same paragraph, never the same sentence though.
Shaq and Tim Duncan were the best players in the NBA at points in time and they couldn't shoot from deep either.Originally Posted by SoHi 23

C/S.
Kobe's still a better all-around better player than he is.
I mean, I like Bron, but how are you going to tell me he's the best player in the league when his jumper STILL isn't as good as it should be.
I mean for goodness sakes, he's shooting 29.8% from beyond the ark. Hos outside jumper is simply not up to par with alot of people in the NBA.
Now, the fact that even with this, he's so big, strong, and fast, that he can get to the hoop at will is amazing.
You can talk about him traveling, but I don't the NBA is really going to start calling him for that.
and if they don't call players for that, it never happened.
Traveling is so wide-spread in the NBA, it's ridiculous(but this is an entirely different issue all together)
Bron and MJ aren't comparable at all anyway.
Bron plays the 3, MJ played the 2.
Bron is probably the greatest athlete I have ever seen play the game of basketball.
His athletic skills won't diminish for some time, but what happens when he hits his early 30s and his athleticism isn't there?
He'll still be a good player, but MJ perfected the fade away j when his athletic skills starting decreasing, it'll be interesting to see if LeBron can do the same.

If you can get to the hole at will you shouldn't be shooting jumpers anyways.

But Shaq and Duncan are post players.
They're not supposed to shoot from deep.
and Duncan's glass j is $$$, idk what you're talking about.
I'm not saying that's bad(that LeBron scores a majority of his buckets in the paint), by all means any way you can get them, you do it.
If no one can stop Bron going to the basket, than why should he stop?

I hear what your saying BUT the point I'm trying to make is that if you can't stop him, post player or not he does have to shoot good from deep to be the best player in the NBA.
Basketball isn't a skills competition.
Naw, Cleveland has had the upper hand vs. the Lakers for the last couple of seasons I think.Originally Posted by Yimoney23
bron bron will never on MJ level period. He not even better than Kobe. Kobe always light up "king James" everytime they plays head to head. And his d's is overrated too. He still can't plays 1 on 1 d's. Kobe could locks the other team star down. This is coming from a kobe hater too, but Kobe is the closest thing to MJ thou.
