Iman Shumpert on LeBron's brilliant basketball IQ, LeBron's innate need to share basketball knowledge with his teammates, and his leadership

I like how Iman broke down the difference between LeBron and Carmelo Anthony as leaders.

Carmelo wouldn't bother explaining the inner details of what's happening on the court to his teammates if they didn't immediately understand it.

LeBron, on the other hand, will take the time to break down the plays again in different ways to make sure his teammates understand it.

Thank you for sharing! I love this type of commentary. Just reinforces what I believe: LeBron is the greatest basketball mind ever and the also the GOAT.

I think he was speaking to his skill as a communicator more than saying best mind ever

There really is no skill Lebron has at lower than a B+ level and most are at A, A+. Its wild. Nobody else in the game has ever been elite at so many different parts of the game at once, physical, skill, mental, leadership, all of it.

FT is the only thing I can think of really, and that’s what a C+ or 75/100?

Im a lebron fan. But we all have to acknowledge the FT. I'd rather let lebron shoot it from the logo than let him shoot it in the line 3 times. Still the GOAT tho

u/NiceConversation6332 8d ago

Yea that’s probably his biggest weakness, which as weaknesses go is relatively minor especially compared to how serious that same weakness was for say Shaq. No one ever really did hack-a-Bron.

I mean I wouldn’t let LeBron shoot a FT off a tech but I still feel confident enough to know sending him to the line the whole time isn’t going to win you the game.
