10 months agoJoker by a decent bit, at least when passing is viewed in isolation.
I view it similarly to a self-created shot vs. an assisted shot, in the sense that LeBron’s passing was ‘assisted’ by his overwhelming … everything (speed, strength, size, athleticism, handle, skill), which allowed him to collapse defenses in his sleep.
Another sports analogy is play-action, which makes passing somewhat easier b/c defenders are slightly out of position. LeBron was his own play-action, b/c opponents needed an army of defenders to have any hope of preventing him from pressuring the rim.
That…but…that…shouldn’t be possible.
That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
