Brandon Menifee go pull up some of Lebron’s rookie games and you’ll see how different and more confident he was shooting the ball. He actually look like he created more jump shooting opportunities his first few years. Lebron from the Heat to the Lakers is more of a slasher.

@UCNVQHWVZihh64Vm6x-KOrtw fuck up its obvious ur nothing but a LeBron fan that hates kd for splashing a 3 right in his face after LeBron was too scared to shoot so he passed to kyle korver. Kd better
Ikr! His jumper now looks kinda shit compared to how it looked when he was playing for the Heat. He hasn't got as much elevation and he often shoots on the way down.
This was horrible... LeBron outplayed Durant so heavily, yet KD got so many garbage free throws and meaningless buckets to pad his horrible game and point total..
Absolutely true! Btw I just started uploading new nba commentary videos :) I hope you check em out! Theyre the latest ones on the channel, brother! Pls sub and stay tuned :)
What people don’t remember about that series is the Heat were trying to double KD the majority of the game leaving Sefoloshia to help DWade and he still cooked them for 39 on nearly 60% shooting. And after they lost the series, people were trying to say Bron outplayed him. Bron played well that finals but their numbers were about the same. Difference was Bron had better contributions from his teammates as his crew was young and lacked experience. And no wonder he wanted to get outta okc. Westbrook was a big time liability always gambling and losing his man on D for layups and dunks.
Do people forget lebron didnt win a ring till his 9th year in the league and kd has only played 7? Next year kd is gonna take over as the leagues best and will have a ring soon. To many lebron fans don't like him being compared to anyone let alone kd that's why people trash on kd so much it's kind of annoying. Both great players but lebron is best right now. Give respect where it's due kd is number 2 in this league and will soon be number 1 wether it be when lebron retires or the next few years we will see
Kd will never win a ring while Lebron is in this league Lebron low key watches kd and Lebron can turn his game on another level at will so good luck kd
***** Wow, for being only a scorer, I'm surprised he is that good in your eyes. AD has been making an impact on his team. Without him, his team is bottom feeders. Without KD, Westbrook can carry his garbage squad by himself. I think KD isn't even the best player on his team, and is definitely not the leader basketball wise. And you can't be calling me the most stupid person on the internet when you have people saying Kyrie is a top 2 pg. NOW that is what you call stupid. Oh yea, facts are not opinions.
***** Durant is not on his way to being better than Kobe or Kareem Abdul Jabaar or MJ. Kobe averaged 35 in 06 and he was a threat to score 50 a night in his prime. He literally has taken every basketball shot you can.
sonofaballer96 so 4 scoring titles mean nothing then? Lol kd is gonna be the best soon. Lebron didnt get a ring till his 9th season and kd has only played 7
Lebron favorite basketball player in the world I think he's another great basketball player like micheal Jordan KD is Goin to be the greatest player even though he is just need at least 1 ring
Not really if you compare their careers so far. Kd had better teammates. Lebrons 1st 7 seasons he had trash ass teammates and went to finals. Kd had westbrook and harden and went to the finals. Lol lebron got with allstars bosh and dwade after Cleveland.. kd got with a 2x REIGNING mvp steph and 2 all stars klay n dray that was just in the finals😂😂
Do u want to contest lebron attack the rim . He shot 3to make lane wider after that he drive . If not he cuts . To make the pace slow he postup. Hes weight his speed power . I prefer not to contest that man
Kd is better than lebron. I swear if kd n lebron switched conferences, kd wouldve had 3 rings too. As a matter of fact the only reason okc haven't made it to the finals since 2012 is because in 2013 Westbrook got injured during playoffs. 2014 serge ibaka (the best shot blocker) got injured during playoffs they needed his defense in the paint against the spurs. And now this year kd is going be injured during the playoffs. The only thing LeBron do better thn kd is pass. Kd score better, rebound better, clutch better, shoot better from the field, shoot better from the free throw and better from the 3pt line. Tell lebron to catch up !
it isnt about his winning percentage vs the west. its about his easy cruises to the finals because the playoff teams in the east are so trash. there is always only one other team that can sort of challenge him but not much. thats why he goes to finals very often. Now if OKC can pull off 52 wins in the west ( the much harder conference where EVERY team is good) & lebron only pulled 52 wins in the east (where there is only 3 good teams MAX) then what dumbass would think tht if they were to switch conferences, OKC wont be able succed more?
Dont TripBitch lebron has had the best record for 4 years and kd 1. Lebron and kd have been on and off against the spurs when it comes to the playoffs so you can't really judge. Lebron would still beat kd in the finals with the heat team. He makes Timofey Mozgov a good offensive player. Has kd ever made perkins better? Lebron is a better rebounder, smarter player, better on the break, in the low post, better career shooter, and they have the same ability to score. I don't think it matters when lebron has a 15-4 record over kd jncluding the playoffs when kd stepped into his prime and beat the lakers and the spurs. James harden was the reason they came to the finals.
This LeBron was a devastating destructor. Literally no one in the league had a chance when he was on it lawd. 😱😱
He still is lol
Deh Beast Not like he was that season tho. He's 31 now, he's not as devastating.

Ikr! His jumper now looks kinda shit compared to how it looked when he was playing for the Heat. He hasn't got as much elevation and he often shoots on the way down.
He fixed that, in the last 3 games of the finals he had switched to shooting on the way up.
