I’ve been a basketball fan since 1968. I’ve never seen a player with LeBrons particular skill-set and physical attributes. He’s built like Wes unseld, but unseld couldn’t do half the things that he can do. And I was a big Bullets fan back in the day.
And while shooting skills have definitely deteriorated over the years, passing skills have greatly improved at all positions. We can thank Pete Maravich for that. He does not get the credit that he deserves for raising the bar in that Department.
Pistol Pete was my all-time favorite player, I used to go outside and try to copy his moves, albeit poorly.
