[@mattdotts]

lebron at his absolute peak. physically unreal and was super efficient and worked out his jumpshot and post game very well.

[@becarefulwhatyoufish4764]

I think this was around the time I got consistently good at shooting in-game. I’ve always been accurate from wherever when I’m just shooting around but when it came to someone guarding me I always preferred a dunk, layup, or post move. Attacking the basket is natural to me anyway, but I think 2011-12 is when my in-game jump shot started to significantly improve.

[@stevengeorge2534]

the fact that KD had to join a back to back MVP (curry), top 2 shooter in NBA 2way player and one of the best shooters all time (klay), defensive player of year (draymond), finals mvp off bench (iggy) and a solid roster around that all to beat one man in Lebron puts it in perspective how much better bron is.

[@shootuptheclub]

By that logic I guess lebron formed a superteam with Miami to beat KD then

[@meloriley9807]

The fact that lebron choked in the 2011 finals when it was 3 stars vs 1 just proves how better kd is

[@ramzyy5362]

@@shootuptheclub but kd never even sniffed the NBA finals before lebron joined the heat lebron did that because he didn't have a westbrook or a james harden on his team kd had those guys he just underperformed

[@weneedhim526]

@@ramzyy5362 this I agree, I would not have been angry with the lebron move, if he didn't add bosh, but him adding bosh made me hate him a lot, but kd was worse, he not only joined a top 3 guy in the who was in his prime at 28 and changed the game and won back2back unanimous mvp off of a championship win, and he was close to reaching finals, but he left, which I don't mind, but the team he joined was unforgivable, kd is great, but he is just so cowardly, lebron is cowardly, but not this much

[@weneedhim526]

@@shootuptheclub no, he formed a superteam with miami, to beat celtics, if heat never existed, thunder still don't win a ring, celtics would have beaten them, as they are basically another kryptonite team for thunder, celtics are basically built like the heat, although lebron wouldn't have exactly won 17 and 18 if warriors with kd didn't exist, the move was still very bad, even worse than lebrons cowardly move
