NLL Insider - All-Star Spotlight: James by RyanChiasson, updated on Wednesday, February 25 2015, 09:25 pm EST LEBRON JAMES The King of
the Cavs has had yet another terrific year, starting in yet another All-Star
Game. To break down this man’s game is to show what a true master of the game
can bring to the table. He can score (27ppg), he can rebound (6 per game), he
can toss dimes(7 per game), as well as what the bring to the table on D. He
does everything efficiently. But what separates him even from other All-Stars
is that he wins. His Cavs are near the top of the league, although not quite
keeping the pace from their fantastic last season. But year in, year out, the
man wins basketball games.
Surrounded
by players with their own strengths (and weaknesses), Lebron shows every night
why he is the best. No matter who is around him, he can mould his game to be
not only the best player in any game, but the best fit for his team every
night. The versatility is what makes him truly great. There are so many players
in the NLL with skills that can allow them to dominate a game, or a matchup.
Lebron is special because there is no way to stop him from exploiting any
matchup. He could play any position, and the results would be a positive for
your team. He can handle like a point, score like a 2, he has the athleticism
of a 3, the size of a four and… well I’m sure if you played him at the five you
win the matchup.
Lebron is
more than a star. He is a transcendent talent, the type only seen once every
generation. Any team he is on would be
instantly labeled a contender, because he would raise the level of his play to
even more incredible highs. Imagine James unleashed? Instead his is surrounded
by players who have star qualities in certain aspects of their games, and he,
more than any other star, accentuates the strengths of each and every player.
Congrats Lebron, you are the All-Star all the other All-Stars wish they could
be. |
