LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Will Bron let him?... Also how good is LeBron going to be off the ball?... Because my guess is Simmons is going to struggle off the ball... Personally I'd like to see us comeback win this f****** series and make some noise here in these playoffs.... Then see how the lottery balls bounce and go from there

Lebron is a beast off the ball.

You just need people that know how to get him the ball. Delly and wade were the only cavs players that knew how to do it.

Delly-Lebron high pick and roll just below the 3pt line, defense hedges, leaving Lebron open moving to the basket where he is able to use his elite passing ability to find Channing Frye for a high percentage corner three, as the defense rotates to cover the strongside Delly-Lebron action

giphy.gif

Delly-Lebron high pick and roll at the top of the 3 point line, defense switches, allowing Lebron to call for the ball and isolate on the mismatch, as he drain a nice fallaway Jumper to end the half

giphy.gif

Top of the key Delly-Lebron screen and roll, the roll man pushes up hard to cover Delly at the 3pt line, leaving an open rolling Lebron who lays it up for an easy 2

giphy.gif

Delly-Lebron high pick and roll, defense hedges and promptly switches, leaving a rolling Lebron on a much smaller defender, able to use his strength to catch clean possession and throw the lob down

giphy.gif

Delly Lebron high screen and roll, defense hedges, Delly threads the pass to a charging Lebron down the middle of the key, last line of defense big is caught having to respect Kevin Love in the corner, which causes the rotation and rim protection to be late

giphy.gif

Double Kyrie-Lebron/Love screen and roll action top of the key, causing Kyrie's and Love's defenders to hedge, leaving Love open at the three, forcing Lebron's defender to rotate over, leaving a rolling Lebron to the rack for a jam



giphy.gif

Interesting play here. Not a normal high screen and roll action, Love's defender gets caught sleeping trying to provide help on Kyrie, Love flares to the top of the 3pt line, Kyrie passes the ball to Lebron who is in a big man roll position at the free throw line, forcing Lebron's man to shoot out and cover Love at the 3pt line who receives a pass from Lebron, who then receives to straight back on a roll to the hoop, where the center has to rotate over, prompting an inside Lebron pass to Mozgov for the easy dunk

giphy.gif

Kyrie-Lebron high pick and roll at the 3pt line, defense hedges to cover Kyrie, leaving Lebron open at the free throw line, who pops for an open 18 footer

giphy.gif

Irving-Lebron screen and roll on the wingm defense hard hedges Kyrie, leaving a rolling Lebron to the hoop who passes to JR open at the corner for a high efficiency 3pt shot, due to the rotating defense covering the rolling Lebron. A great example of how the Lebron Roll Man dynamic allows for his elite passing ability

giphy.gif

Kyrie-Lebron high pick and roll at the top of the 3pt line, defense slightly hedges, leaving an open rolling Lebron who scores on the easy layup, too quick for the rotating interior defense

giphy.gif

Lebron passes to Delly on the wing, prompting Lebron to set a screen middle, defense hedges middle to cover Delly at the 3, leaving a rolling Lebron, who draws the foul on the drive to the hoop

giphy.gif

Delly-Lebron screen and roll on the wing, defense gets caught trying to hedge, Lebron catches open, rolling to the rack, drawing the foul with the spin move attacking the rim

Here's some Roll Man Lebron plays from his game today against Chicago

giphy.gif

Delly-Lebron high pick and roll, defense hedges Delly middle, leaving open rolling LBJ who catches, performs a spin move on the drive as the last line of defense rotates to protect the rim, Lebron threads a bullet pass to K-Love in the corner for a high percentage open 3pt shot

giphy.gif

Kyrie-Lebron high screen and roll, defense hedges Kyrie middle, leaving open rolling LBJ who catches, drives to the hoop where the defense has collapsed to protect the rim, swings a pass out to Love at the corner, who pump fakes, drives in and dunks the ball. You can see the utter chaos and wreck that a rolling Lebron does to defenses



giphy.gif

Delly-Lebron baseline high screen and roll, man defender gets caught on Lebron screen, roll man defender doesn't push up, waits to contain Delly drive, defensive switch occurs in this possession, Lebron is open on the roll for an easy jam to the hoop as the switched defender is behind and too slow to stop the drive. Poor defensive rotations by Hawks to protect the rim (Or lack thereof)

giphy.gif

Delly-Lebron high pick and roll top of the 3, roll man hangs back and switches to contain the Delly Penetration as the ball defender gets caught in the ball screen, Lebron rolls to the hoop and catches an easy alley oop pass for 2 points


giphy.gif

Lebron does a hand off to Delly from the middle going sideline, then Lebron sets a ball screen for Delly going back middle, the ball defender gets caught in a quality pick, and the roll man defender switches over to contain the Delly drive, who lobs the ball up for a rolling Lebron, who makes a bullet one hand pass to an open Love in the corner due to the weakside defense rotating over to cover the Lebron roll... Love drains the three... Perfect example of how Lebron still uses his dangerous passing and efficient scoring without having to shoot jump shots playing outside in as the ball handler all the time


giphy.gif


- Great Delly-LeBron High PnR founded upon a great solid ball screen by LeBron , which got Delly's man defender caught, forcing Carroll to contain Delly's penetration, leading to an easy oop for a rolling LeBron... Threat of shooters on each side of the court... Deadly play; the Middle PnR with spread shooters

elite spot up shooting

He crushed the rest of the league in PER last season with a 31.7, just shy of his career high. He shot a ridiculous 56.5 percent from the field. He scored more points in the paint per game than anybody else in the league. He dished out more assists than most point guards. He registered a higher rebound rate than Marc Gasol and Robin Lopez. Defensively, he's tall, quick and strong enough to guard just about anyone in the league, and he almost did.

And if all that wasn't enough, consider this: He now wields one of the most potent jumpers in the league. Only Jose Calderon averaged more points per spot-up play than James, according to Synergy Sports.

Most efficient spot-up players, 2012-13 regular season(Min. 100 plays)

Player Plays Points PPP
Jose Calderon 187 281 1.50
LeBron James 143 195 1.36
Kyle Korver 224 301 1.34
Steve Nash 114 153 1.32
Stephen Curry 226 294 1.30


James' name pops up near the top of all the jump-shot leaderboards for last season. And that includes the unguarded catch-and-shoot category, in which he effectively shot 73.1 percent once you account for the added value of 3s. Only five players were more lethal with open shots. While he couldn't find his shot in the Finals until the very end, he ended up converting 37.5 percent of his 3s in the postseason, which is well above average. (For perspective, Kevin Durant shot 31.3 percent from deep in the playoffs.)
 
Man, I wish there was a way to substitute prime Chris Bosh in for Love. He does so many things that Love can't.
 
bosh was just flat out more versatile and athletic
Without a doubt. Love is the better 3 point shooter, but that's about it. Love would get blocked or rim stuffed on a lot of those plays from the videos that were posted.

elite spot up shooting

I would trade Korver and Okaro White for Delly the moment off-season trades are allowed. It's crazy how many PGs haven't fit in with LeBron. Mo Williams, Kyrie, Delly, and Delonte (as a combo guard) are they only ones that I can say have worked well with him.
 
Im just not sure Lebron would want to raise his kids in the dump that is Philly. I still say something is brewing in LA with Kawaii, George, and Lebron.

Inner city Philly is bad, but Bronny and Bryce might be looking to break Kobe's Lower Merion records. That neck of the woods is comparable to Hunting Valley.
 
So which Lebron will we get today? Fake try triple double that doesnt really mean anything? Like that last game he played vs Boston in 2010? I wonder if we lose this series to the Pacers he will take his jersey off again? I wonder when he joins Philly or La if him, Embiid, and Simmons, or him kawaii, george, lonzo, lavar and magic will all rise through the smoke again with the mantra, oh yes we did?

Super Mario Chalmers worked out ok, too.

LeBron know's this team is going nowhere, he is likely already in "Disguised give-up mode".
 
He sure is. Calling Kawaii and george, plotting and scheming. You know those guys do that to.
