And it's not a knock.
I mean, the guy is older in NBA world and context.
He just looks actually like a normal player now at times.
He's an under-the-rim player at this point, which is weird because it's LeBron.
He's had a shot blocked six times in six games already.
Like you said, Scottie blocked his fade away and it wasn't even close.
Like he could barely get over him.
He's got the strength still.
He's got the bumps.
But then as soon as he sheds the guy, he can't jump anymore.
Like LeBron doesn't have very much elevation.
Shooting 49% on twos.
Hasn't been under 50% since the 2005 season.
He's only 60% from zero to three feet.
Sounds okay, but it's the lowest of his career.
He's usually in the 75% range.
He doesn't get to the rim quite as much anymore.
Not drawing free throws the same way he used to.
He needs a three-point shot to come around.
He's been basically a 40% three-point shooter for the Lakers the past couple of seasons.
