Miami Heat: Lebron Can Play Until 50 Due To His Skill, Athleticism, And ‘Brain’

At his size, strength, and in a game dominated by 6’6 to 6’9 guys anyway—he still stands out.

In combination with the “brain” that Spo mention, that “imposition” would be just that much easier based on the fact that he can play anywhere and at any position on the court. From the point guard to the center, LeBron can still do it all.

And admittedly so, in accordance with a slight step back athletically, his defense has taken a slight step back too. Where he was once the most elite of the elite on that side as well, the peak of perfection defensively, he has taken a step back to just being very good—which is still, no pun intended, very good.

So, overall, when you look at what Coach Spo had to say about his former championship-winning player for the Miami Heat during the world-famous Big 3 Era, he was spot on.

But don’t let the compliments fool you, if Spo has a plan for anybody, it’s LeBron James. Let’s just hope they can execute it on Wednesday night.
