Lebron stays at mid-court when IT runs offense

[nickagneta]

Vid 1: That was kinda a fast break or quick drive to the paint. A didn't see IT running an offense as it was IT quickly making a decision to take it inside. Lebron hanging back makes sense to stop a fast break as all 4 Cavs were under the basket.

Vid 2: Just a vid of a miscommunication, not on the mark pass. Lebron gives that look to everyone on those types of plays because he never sees it as his fault. Don't see any more or less Lebron hate there.

Vid 3: It was an end of quarter play. You spread everyone to four corners to open the middle on a drive for a kayup or kick out. Lebron was exactly where he was supposed to be. That's a designed play.

Vid 1, I can see your point, but as I mentioned before, I think Lebron can still be a transition D stopper without being *that* far back.  What he did was giving up on the possession.  A player should keep himself in position to be in play for an offensive rebound tipout in that situation while not allowing any offensive players beyond him. 

Vid 2 I'm with you on.  Nothing to see here.

Vid 3 I completely disagree.  Yes, you spread everyone out, but not to the literal corner of the halfcourt, 45 feet away from the hoop.  You're not a threat from that spot for a kickout.  You've gotta be within 10 feet of the 3 point line to be a legitimate kickout option.  Even if LBJ had range out to half court, a player can't drive to the hoop and make a kickout pass that far and in that opposite direction their momentum is taking them.  Rewatch that and imagine an actual kickout pass being made to that spot off of a drive.

Vid 1: There were 4 Cavs under the basket or in the paint. Its the right play to hand back to prevent the transition bucket.

Vid 3: That's a drawn up play. I have seen the same play happen when Lebron's number was called and some other player sat in that corner. He was where he was supposed to be.

Will he repeat this again when they both are on the Lakers

Now that It was traded I feel like LeBron knew IT was about to be shipped so he did this to IT purposely as a last diss

Great leadership from the King   JK!   I like how the media gives him no role in problems in CLE when in reality he is a big part of the problem.

Let the LeBron apologists begin...

Thankful he never wore the green.
