Miami Heat: Ray Allen’s ‘LeBron James G.O.A.T’ Logic Has Flaws
That is a debatable uncertainty, however, only with relevancy given to arguments being made for one of the aforementioned choices. What is certain, at least to another former Miami Heat champion in Ray Allen, is that LeBron James isn’t the guy there.

Well, that was certainly… interesting. Here’s the thing, though you can attack Allen’s argument from a few angles, generally, his specific logic here about dribbling and range shooting has holes.

First off, dribbling or a guy’s handle is subjective after a point. Can a guy handle well enough to be a main ball handler or not is key.
That’s the first hurdle to cross. When it comes to, both, His Airness and The Chosen One, they both meet and exceed that threshold.
After that point, there are levels, but it’s also a bit subjective. Are either Miami Heat legend, Tim Hardaway, or NBA all-timer, Allen Iverson, with the handle?
No, but not many are. However, they are both great to elite in the area and you don’t judge that off aesthetics but effectiveness for this particular debate.
Can they both fluidly utilize their handle to get wherever they choose to be on the floor in order to complete the ultimate mission for them both—dominating the game in a myriad of ways? Yes, absolutely.
That is proven. The next part is where things start to clear themselves up a lot though.
