It was nice of LeBron to wait 8 years before developing a drop step, he is making George look like a little kid
He's still getting better. A joy to watch.
But rly it's about time he finally started to develop his game.
I think LeBron always wanted to prove he didn't need to just beast people down low since he was a ki. I am glad he didn't wait until his legs started to go to start doing posting up.
It helps that Indy doesn't like to double
Lebron has posted up for years when he has the right matchup.
He did more of the 10 to 15 "mid" post game in Cleveland that usually ended up with a fade away or a face up and drive - now he is showing a more traditional low block game with drop steps and jump hooks.
Again, I love watching him work down there because it is becoming a lost art. There are fewer and fewer guys with the footwork to play that way and officiating allows teams like the Celtics and Bulls to clog the lane it makes it almost impossible to finish unless you are at least 2 of elite size/athleticism/strength AND be a good free throw shooter.
