| Lebron James Height: 6"8 Weight: 245 Born: December 30, 1984 Birthplace: Akron, Ohio Position: SG/PG Cleveland , NBA Drafted: 2003 1st overall pick NBA Comparison/Status STRENGTHS: -His eyes are over the rim on occasion when he jumps -Excellent court awareness, scoring presence due to his size, athleticism, strength. As time passes his size will become his biggest attribute -Excellent co-ordination for his size and can catch the ball and do things with it in mid-air or handle the 35 foot bounce pass without full concentration on it. -As with most young players, he plays fast and will use his quickness to overwhelm defenders in his first few years in the NBA WEAKNESSES : -He is perhaps a little overrated athletically as his lateral mobility is only very good, less mobile than McGrady. -He has small feet (size 15 at this point) and requires the use of both his legs pushing off to get extremely high off the ground. -His length will be his greatest attribute on the defensive end, but if he plays the point he will have a hard time guarding a decent quick offensive NBA point guard such as a Tony Parker or Mike Bibby. -Has not shown any post moves with his back to the basket -Inconsistent shooting outside of 18 feet, but this should improve Lebron James Video Clips McDonald's Dunk Contest (AND1) slow Lebron James biography (AND1) slow |
