@@mcmerry2846 Dude no bots here, Ben Taylor is probably the smartest basketball analyst Ive listened to and read, just check out his stuff and see what these "bots" are talking about
His size also gives him better court vision than shorter players and his explosiveness keeps defenders back giving him even more lanes to pass. It all comes together is a pretty lethal package.
Vision (largely the peripheral variety IMO) and height are the twin towers of passing ability. Obviously, LeBron's towers are both extremely high and have combined to create one of the most effective passers ever. Given their much shorter stature, imagine how guys like Jason Williams and CP3 would fare in the Vision Olympics. And perhaps most interesting to me is a guy like Carmelo Anthony. Once upon a time, I was guilty of chalking his passing weaknesses up to a certain level of selfishness. Turns out, I think I couldn't have been more wrong. Highly likely the problem was nothing more than extreme vision deficiency.
@@christopherallsup4260 Hard to know about Carmelo, his job was to be a scorer first. One thing I like to watch is how Jokic will scan the floor as a pass is coming to him, allowing him to do much quicker touch passes even. Little things like that and looking off defenders certainly help. But the passes still have to be precise and with the right spin. In the end, if you know your offense and where your teammates are SUPPOSED to be, you can anticipate a lot, kind of like a QB throwing to where a receiver is going to cut to.
@@christopherallsup4260he just never learned to pass. He’s a scorer first and that’s all they asked him to be so he never developed his passing and as a result was one dimensional
This is essentially how Grandmaster chess players work as well. They don't even try to compute the hundreds or thousands of potential positions that are possible four-to-five moves in the future. Instead, they recognize common patterns within the current position and use those patterns to filter for the most likely game states a few moves ahead.
Lebron basically has a photographic memory and on top of that over 20 years of real data stored in his memory that he uses at any given split second to win games and make millions. This is genius level.

Even as an MJ fan, I have to admit that LeBron is the Greatest to ever play the game, GOAT 🐐 Legendary career, going 40yrs old now. Happy birthday King.

The frustrating this about having this type of memory, i should know, is that for you its somewhat easy (the way you see it) and not same for teammates. Hard to communicate
Yeah, it is really hard to understand that people in my family don’t remember entire conversations we all had together six years ago. Or that they don’t see a very obvious pattern or template staring them in the face. I’m not trying to be indignant or full of myself, it’s just the same as hearing someone say they don’t know what 2+2 is
Still dominating after 2 decades. Happy 40th birthday, King! Even with declining athleticism, he's still a top 10-15 player in the league. Just absolutely incredible.
@-13eNnY- no, that's just your opinion. He was behind Kobe, Durant, Curry, Wade, Tim Duncan, Kawhi, Nowitzki, and other players. Nowadays he is not even the best player in his team, he is in the best time the third best player in the Lakers behind Davis and Reaves. The media was always overselling him and still does it. LeBron is a stat padder and the NBA is even breaking the rules to accredit him fake stats.
@mcmerry2846 He was never behind any of those players except for Kobe. And he and Kobe were debated on who was better for 3-4 seasons before LeBron easily took that title for 5 seasons. You're just delusional and a hater who doesn't know jack shit about basketball.
Curry said LeBron’s greatest strength is his IQ. Build like he was designed for Basketball. And his greatest strength has nothing to do with it. The GOAT man
It’s not so much excellent memory as it is an average memory that has been applied consistently to one thing over an unbelievable amount of time. I think many people who have been working enthusiastically in one profession for a long time could do a similar thing. The impressive thing is that he’s worked so consistently at one thing for so long.
Is it really impressive for someone to remember a sequence of plays? At 1:10 he wasn’t even correct when he said “we ran them down all the way to 2 on the shot clock”; the shot clock is at 10 when the shot is released. People keep saying his memory is insane so maybe I’m missing something. But maybe his memory seems insane in contrast to other NBA players, but wouldn’t be insane when compared to professionals in other fields. In other words, it could be that LeBron’s focus/memory is unorthodox for the NBA, but isn’t “off the charts” when compared to people that use their brains in other fields.

@@rackball5858 Two games away isn't close, a game 7 would be close.

LeBron is the combination of super athleticism, super strength, super basketball IQ, super memory. I started watching NBA since 1986, LeBron is the best player I’ve ever seen, but he’s not my favorite player.
From the outside looking in and as a fan of Lebron throughout his entire career I've conclude that this ability is a gift and a curse as sometimes he's too much in his brain instead of just going on instinct. By the time his switches it's often too late.
I love how everything about LeBron is geared towards being the greatest basketball player of all time. From his mind, to his body, to his work ethic. That’s like being born for a singular purpose.
@@mikeakinyele7659 He's pretty close even if you think he's not #1, right? LeBron has some advantages over Jordan while Jordan had some advantages over LeBron. One guy seemed like he was made to play the way he did, the other worked his ass off and also played a different way than what we were accustomed to. Both legendary to the sport and not worth the stupid arguments.
What’s insane is that LeBron is the only great that actually improved statistically as the series progresses. The likes of Larry Bird, Magic, Kobe and even Michael all regressed from an efficiency standpoint later in the series.
Tell me you don’t actually watch basketball and have never played the game without telling me. I mean you definitely rode the short bus if you couldn’t figure out why that is. And you definitely don’t understand the game of basketball if you can’t figure it out either. Stick to anime cartoons.
@ the good ole “tell me you don’t watch basketball without telling me you don’t watch basketball”. How about an argument, data, statistics? Instead it’s a rinse and repeat social media cliche. What’s next, you will educate me with the “it’s a make or miss league”, “he’s got that killer instinct”, or “you gotta feed the big dog”. I have one for you, “if you cant say anything nice don’t say anything at all”. Maybe your mother has told you that one before.
Is it possible that LeBron has enough money and influence that his lakers are designed not around winning games and championships but stat padded LeBron? Also inflation exists. Everyone’s stats have gotten better. LeBron hasn’t improved as a player. He was never good enough to win on his own. Never. At no point in his career was he talented enough to win on his own. He’s no better than Harden Westbrook KD Kyrie Wade. None of those players have the championship mentality. They’re all about stats.
@@elementsofphysicalreality 3 of those guys are champions. 2 of them multiple time champs. The last guy was part of arguably the greatest playoff series ever.
@@elementsofphysicalrealityI like how nby is talking about the stat itself of the comment. LeBron stats IMPROVES in the back half of playoff series’s (game 5 6 and 7), while Kobe stays about the same and MJ DROPS. It has nothing to do with “derr Lakers about statpadding lebron not winning me smart”
Happy 40th birthday to the incomparable LeBron James, a true icon whose greatness knows no bounds! From your early days as a high school phenom to becoming one of the most dominant and influential players in NBA history, you have continually redefined what it means to be extraordinary. Your dedication to excellence, both on and off the court, has inspired generations to dream bigger, work harder, and believe in themselves. Beyond the championships, MVPs, and countless records, your impact as a philanthropist, entrepreneur, and leader in the community is just as monumental. You've built schools, empowered young minds, and used your platform to make the world a better place. As you celebrate this milestone, may you take pride in a legacy that is as remarkable as it is enduring. Here's to more wins, more milestones, and more moments of greatness. The world is better because of you-happy 40th, King James!
Personally I think it'll be too awkward of a body movement to turn around for a high accuracy pass to Wayne's shooting pocket (#25's in the way too & feels more comfortable driving hard to the paint to sell it and then kick it to Avery there. #25 got sucked in and hard committed, if you slow it down you could see #25 jumping to block the passing lane (even his head turned back to look at Wayne while he's still in the air). Good awareness by the defender #8 tho
If you're good at nba 2k you know exactly what he's talking about, those patterns on the offense and defense. Obviously in 2k theyre only like the basics, and im looking at it with a 3rd person's perspective. So i very much understand how harder it is when youre actually on court and its happening in real time. Without any scale, i cant grasp how smart LeBron actually is. I know he's smart but.... I wanna know how much he knows😆
Curry is a weak defender as demonstrated in this video, so Curry needs a team around him to compensate, so why would LeBron want that when he can do everything Curry can do on the offensive end, including hitting 3s at a high percentage. What LeBron needs is 3 and D players, and they just added a couple to the Lakers roster.
Expertise I believe is a big thing across many sports, video games included. I, as a League player and coach, am a big advocate of improving and capitalizing on one’s expertise past a certain level to achieve results.

Thinking Basketball on official NBA?????
He needs a system to maximize that mind. A system that doesn’t make him think as hard just react. Like Jordan and Jackson’s triangle.
happy birthday lebron james and I hope you have a wonderful birthday 🎉🎉
LeOLD but LeGOLD 🐐
the way he remembers is so tuff
The best ever to play the sport of Basketball..
Lebron is greatest ever, no one even comes close
Which is why he’s the greatest basketball player ever in my opinion
What’s insane is that LeBron is the only great that actually improved statistically as the series progresses. The likes of Larry Bird, Magic, Kobe and even Michael all regressed from an efficiency standpoint later in the series.
Tell me you don’t actually watch basketball and have never played the game without telling me. I mean you definitely rode the short bus if you couldn’t figure out why that is. And you definitely don’t understand the game of basketball if you can’t figure it out either. Stick to anime cartoons.
@ the good ole “tell me you don’t watch basketball without telling me you don’t watch basketball”. How about an argument, data, statistics? Instead it’s a rinse and repeat social media cliche. What’s next, you will educate me with the “it’s a make or miss league”, “he’s got that killer instinct”, or “you gotta feed the big dog”. I have one for you, “if you cant say anything nice don’t say anything at all”. Maybe your mother has told you that one before.
Is it possible that LeBron has enough money and influence that his lakers are designed not around winning games and championships but stat padded LeBron? Also inflation exists. Everyone’s stats have gotten better. LeBron hasn’t improved as a player. He was never good enough to win on his own. Never. At no point in his career was he talented enough to win on his own. He’s no better than Harden Westbrook KD Kyrie Wade. None of those players have the championship mentality. They’re all about stats.
@@elementsofphysicalreality 3 of those guys are champions. 2 of them multiple time champs. The last guy was part of arguably the greatest playoff series ever.
@@elementsofphysicalrealityI like how nby is talking about the stat itself of the comment.
LeBron stats IMPROVES in the back half of playoff series’s (game 5 6 and 7), while Kobe stays about the same and MJ DROPS. It has nothing to do with “derr Lakers about statpadding lebron not winning me smart”
2019-2020 Lebron James is A2 to Magics A1 for the best point guard of all time
This was pretty good.
I always thought ice was pushing the ball handler away from the screen for some reason
Got that 12th grade never had to look at a book IQ! Hilarious!!
There is a meme where LeBron is reading the first page of a book
Happy 40th birthday to the incomparable LeBron James, a true icon whose greatness knows no bounds! From your early days as a high school phenom to becoming one of the most dominant and influential players in NBA history, you have continually redefined what it means to be extraordinary. Your dedication to excellence, both on and off the court, has inspired generations to dream bigger, work harder, and believe in themselves. Beyond the championships, MVPs, and countless records, your impact as a philanthropist, entrepreneur, and leader in the community is just as monumental. You've built schools, empowered young minds, and used your platform to make the world a better place. As you celebrate this milestone, may you take pride in a legacy that is as remarkable as it is enduring. Here's to more wins, more milestones, and more moments of greatness. The world is better because of you-happy 40th, King James!
7:27 Wouldn't it have been better for LeBron to make the pass to the shooter at the top of the three-point line?
Personally I think it'll be too awkward of a body movement to turn around for a high accuracy pass to Wayne's shooting pocket (#25's in the way too & feels more comfortable driving hard to the paint to sell it and then kick it to Avery there.
#25 got sucked in and hard committed, if you slow it down you could see #25 jumping to block the passing lane (even his head turned back to look at Wayne while he's still in the air).
Good awareness by the defender #8 tho
Love me some Thinking Basketball
If you're good at nba 2k you know exactly what he's talking about, those patterns on the offense and defense. Obviously in 2k theyre only like the basics, and im looking at it with a 3rd person's perspective. So i very much understand how harder it is when youre actually on court and its happening in real time.
Without any scale, i cant grasp how smart LeBron actually is. I know he's smart but.... I wanna know how much he knows😆
And people still hate him. Long live the king.
Does he have photographic memory? It's incredible.
0:59 is wild 😂
will be interesting to see how he does as an owner
Everyone: The nba has a huge problem with being lame and uninteresting.
NBA: We've got the right video for you
King LeBron James highest IQ on the pick roll. You know how to pass.goat 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
GOATED ‼️
Curry is a perfect teammate for him, truly
Curry is a weak defender as demonstrated in this video, so Curry needs a team around him to compensate, so why would LeBron want that when he can do everything Curry can do on the offensive end, including hitting 3s at a high percentage. What LeBron needs is 3 and D players, and they just added a couple to the Lakers roster.
Expertise I believe is a big thing across many sports, video games included. I, as a League player and coach, am a big advocate of improving and capitalizing on one’s expertise past a certain level to achieve results.
I heard my king is the one powering the quantum computer
