Why LeBron James Is A Basketball Genius

We have heard that LeBron is smart, but how does that translate on the court? Today I go through a play that describes his encylopedic mind.

[Paloriel]

Ive always wondered why corner shooters don't move closer to the baseline for more spacing, it just seems like a mental thing

This is why the lakers new 5 out alignment is superior to their old scheme despite lakers fans begging for the old 4 out 1 in back

[shawnjhuuhurdd]

why would Rui even be in the dunkers spot with AD on the floor

[akaHezitation]

the netflix starting 5 episode on christmas day shows when lebron’s mic’d up and telling rui “you gotta get to the corner man”. honestly being guarded by a 7ft guy and bringing him to the low block so he can be the help defender is great offensive iq.

you could blow up on shorts ...this is huge

[tpsam]

The fact that he is that smart on such an athletic body
Truly Goat level

[FlossyK.]

Lebron has great IQ, but I feel like this is nothing crazy tbh. 7ft+ center is clogging the paint, simple solution, get his man to go the 3pt line. Basic 5-out offense, common in todays era

Idk why nba teams don’t run iso 1/4 flat to just get an iso situation

Now, in the 90's K.P could never just stand there. It would be illegal defense.😂😂😂😂

Ur telling me jj reddick can lead a team better than bron

[Jayh]

This is just basic basketball 😂 casual nba fans are something else. rui moving to the corner didnt even do anything because lebron didnt pass it to him.

[cycleoflife]

How is a basic drive and dish suddenly an example of basketball genius?

[tmizzle]

Hes not playing well though. He plays zero defense and all his points are ref bailing him out or him cherry picking by not getting back on defense.

looks like someone with a brain would do
