At some point in the near future, LeBron will take his talents to a max contract. The team that signs him to a max deal is going to regret it halfway into it. It may not be obvious to the untrained eye, but he is showing signs of slowing down. Athletic only players don't age well, and he has so many miles on the tires. He has no jumpshot or 3 pointer to fall back on, so once the motor starts to die down, he's finished.
Add to that our serious (i.e. we are the favorites to win every year) championship window is in about 3 years from now when Horford comes off the books (re-signs for Vet Min or MLE, please?) and Tatum is a top 20 player in the league, and you shouldn't concern yourself too much with LeBron. He should be doing his farewell tour by then on an inflated contract.
He's also not going to Philly. A young team and a 34 year old looking to win now are incompatible. He's going to join a sure thing like the coward we all know him to be.
I don't even know where to begin with this post. Just so much wrong with it.
First, James has had 5 of his last 7 season shooting over 36% from three. While not elite, that certainly is good enough. Those same 5 seasons, he also shot well over 40% from 10-16 feet. Again, not elite, but again good enough. His TS% in each of the last two seasons is 61.9% and his eFG% is pushing 60%, which is most definitely elite. He doesn't get all of those shots solely because he is an elite athlete, he gets them because he is highly skilled and incredibly strong as well.
Second, physically Karl Malone is probably the best comparison. He was a similar height and similar strength. James is obviously far more athletic than Malone ever was, but they look fairly similar physically. Malone was never injured until his final year in the league at age 40. At age 39 Malone played in 80 games and was still averaging over 20 a game. He won the MVP at age 35, finished 4th at age 36, and 7th at 37. Now obviously James isn't Malone, but the physical similarities can't be disregarded either.
Third, the Sixers are the exact type of team a guy like James would join if his goal was to continue winning championships. They have at least 2 franchise level talents in Embiid and Simmons (that doesn't mean they both fulfill that potential or that they stay healthy) as well as Fultz (who was the #1 pick for a reason), Saric (who has all star level talent), and Covington (solid 3 and D level starter). They have other young NBA bench level players (McConnell, Holmes, Luwawu-Cabarrot, Korkmaz). They have the Lakers or Kings pick in addition to every single one of their own picks. With a simple salary dump of Bayless, they have room to offer James a max contract. They can then use some of their assets to acquire another top level player (think the Love trade), while still keeping Embiid and Simmons. The Sixers are a 50 win team (or right near it) without James and basically without Fultz (thus making them a far better team than the Cleveland team James joined when he went back home). You add James to that team, they are the clear favorites in the East for at least the next couple of seasons, and it really isn't much of a debate.
James is easy to hate and easy to dislike, so I don't know why anyone needs to just make stuff up to hate on him.
